About John George II, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach
- Johann Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach (Friedewald, 24 July 1665 – Eisenach, 10 November 1698), was a duke of Saxe-Eisenach. He was the second son of Johann Georg I, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach and Johannetta of Sayn-Wittgenstein. The death of his older brother, Frederick August—who was killed in battle in 1684—make him the new heir of the duchy of Saxe-Eisenach.
- Two years later (1686), Johann Georg succeeded his father when he died. In Kirchheim unter Teck on 20 September 1688 Johann Georg married with Sophie Charlotte of Württemberg.
- This union was childless. When his cousin, the young Duke Johann Wilhelm of Saxe-Jena died (1690) Johann Georg inherited a part of his duchy, because he was compelled to make a divisionary treaty with the Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, his other cousin and brother-in-law of the late duke. Johann Georg died suddenly of smallpox, and was succeeded by his brother, Johann Wilhelm.
