Alexander Charles Vasa

Alexander Charles Vasa (4 November 1614 – 19 November 1634), Polish: Aleksander Karol Waza, was the fifth son of King Sigismund III Vasa and his wife Constance of Austria.

During the election of 1632 he supported his brother Vladislaus IV Vasa. After his voyage to Italy and Germany in 1634, supported the movement for the war with Ottoman Empire but died before he had any significant influence on the events.

Famous quotes containing the word alexander:

    I shall not cease to bless because
    I lay about me with the taws
    That night and morning I may thrash
    Greek Alexander from my flesh,
    Augustus Caesar, and after these
    That great rogue Alcibiades.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
