Friedrich August, Duke of Holstein-Oldenburg[1][2] (Gottorp, Schleswig, 20 September 1711[1][2] – Oldenburg, 6 July 1785[1][2]) was the son of Christian August, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp and his wife Margravine Albertine Friederike of Baden-Durlach.[1][2]

Marriage and issue

Frederick Augustus married Princess Ulrike Friederike Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel; the couple had three children:[1][2]

Titular History

Empress Catherine the Great of Russia, on behalf of her son Paul of Russia, last of the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp ceded the Duchy lands to Denmark. In exchange, Denmark ceded the Duchy of Oldenburg to the Prince Bishops of Lübeck, a cadet branch of the Dukes of Gottorp. Thus, Friederich August of Holstein-Gottorp, Prince Bishop of Lübeck, became Duke of Oldenburg.[3]

His son and heir apparent, Peter Friedrich Wilhelm, succeeded him as Wilhelm I, Duke of Oldenburg.
