Facts and Events
Georg Detlev von Flemming (Polish: Jerzy Detloff Fleming) (3 March 1699 – 10 December 1771) was a General in Polish-Saxon service, Grand Treasurer of Lithuania in 1746–1764 and Voivode of Pomerelia in 1766.
His alliance with the Czartoryskis sped up his career. In 1738 he was promoted to the rank of General in the artillery and on 3 August 1744 he received the Order of the White Eagle. In 1762 he backed the Czartoryskis in their struggle against the Prime Minister Heinrich von Brühl. He also actively opposed the influence of another magnate family, the Radziwiłłs. He died on 10 December 1771 in Warsaw, Poland, and was buried in the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw.
