George Frederic Augustus I

George Frederic Augustus I served as king of the Miskito, an indigenous people from Honduras from 1801–1824.
Succession and regency
He was quite young when his father and predecessor George II Frederic was murdered, according to the later visitor George Henderson, "attributed very openly to the designs of his brother Stephen." George II was pro-British, while Stephen was alleged to be pro-Spanish, and the General, Robinson managed to organize a regency to prevent Stephen from taking power until George Frederic was of age. George Frederic maintained a fairly close connection to British authorities in Belize, for in 1802, British officials in Belize gave "the young King Frederick" and three of his "chiefs" gifts worth ₤40. At some later point before 1804, he was sent to Jamaica to be educated. When Henderson visited in 1804, the regency was still in practice, with a balance maintained between Stephen and Robinson.
