  At the Empirial conqcuest of Ofen from the Ottoman Empire in 1686, slaves and property belonging to the Turks were divided to the soldiers of the Empirial German-roman army. Four women were given to the Swedish Baron Alexander Erskin, then in Austrian service; Roosia, Eisia, Eminé and Fatima; Fatima claimed to have been the wife of a muslim priest. Erskin returned to Sweden with Philip Christoph Königsmarck, and gave Fatima to Philips's sister Maria Aurora of Königsmarck. The four women were baptized in Stockholm 7 november 1686 in the presence of the royal court. Fatima were given, among others, Crown Prince Charles and Aurora of Königsmarck as god-parents, and was given the name Maria Aurora after Maria Aurora of Königsmarck. She was taught in etiquette and French and became a well-liked companion to Aurora of Königsmarck, and followed her to Saxony and Poland in 1691, were Aurora of Königsmarck became the mistress of king Augustus. She was often present at Augustus' visits to Königsmarck, and in 1701, she became her replacement. Augustus married her to his servant Spiegel, who was enobled. Augustus aknowledged his children with her and seemed to have been in love with her. He often returned to here between his other relationships, and she herself is said to have been tolerant of this, which was guessed to have been because she was brought up in a harem. She was the mother of Frederick Augustus Rutowsky and Maria Anna Katharina Rutowska. She continued as a central character within the royal court after the relainship with augustus ended, and was good friends with the influential Przebendowska, a relation to the favourite count Fleming. At the kin's death in 1733, she was given a large alowance in his will.
