George Frederic Augustus I (1798 – 1824)[1] served from 1801 to 1824 as a mostly titular king of the mixed-race Miskito, as the Spanish called them, a Native people of Honduras.

George Frederic, by virtue of the long time he spent in Jamaica and his absence from the so-called court (more a council of sometimes rival chieftains), found it difficult to establish his authority upon his return.

"General" Robinson, who ruled the Black River region, had not signed the act accepting George Frederic as king.

"Governor" Clementi, who ruled the territory just south of the royal court was also very powerful and refused to participate in many acts of government.

[12] He died on 9 March 1824, either strangled by his wife and his body thrown into the sea, or assassinated by a "Captain Peter Le Shaw".
