- ↑ Ann Dorothea, born Countess de Medem, third wife of Peter, the last Duke of Courland, to whom she was married on the 6th of November 1779. The affairs of Courland having required her presence at Warsaw, in 1790, she remained there for a long time, and took a lively interest in the hopes and enthusiasm of the Poles at that time. She died at Löbichan, on the 20th August 1821. Her youngest daughter, Dorothea, born the 21st August, 1793, married the Duke de Dino.
