Friedrich Wilhelm III

From IBWiki

Friedrich Wilhelm III was King of Prussia. As a result of Prussia's defeat at Jena and Auerstädt, King Friedrich Wilhelm III lost all his lands west of the Elbe, and what was left of the Kingdom was occupied by French troops. After Napoleon's defeat, however, Prussia regained most of its lost territories, and considerably more besides, including 40% of Saxony and much of the Rhineland. Most of the Kingdom, aside from the provinces of East Prussia, West Prussia, and Grand Duchy de Posen, became part of the new German Confederation, which replaced the old Reich.

He was succeeded by his son.
