Heinrich von Brühl

Heinrich, count von Brühl (August 13, 1700 – October 28, 1763), is a Polish-Saxon statesman at the court of Saxony and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and a member of the powerful German von Brühl family.

The incumbency of this ambitious politician coincides with the decline of both states.

Brühl is a skillful diplomat and cunning strategist, who manages to attain control over of Saxony and Poland, partly by controlling its king, Augustus III, who ultimately can only be accessed through Brühl himself.

It is widely believed that Brühl had Europe's largest collection of watches and military vests; attributed to him was also a vast collection of ceremonial wigs, hats and the largest collection of Meissen porcelain in the world.
