The

Peter the Great
of Russia,
Frederick IV
of
Denmark–Norway
and
Augustus II the Strong
of
Saxony

Poland
. Frederick IV and Augustus II were forced out of the alliance in 1700 and 1706 respectively, but rejoined it in 1709.
George I
of
Brunswick-Lüneburg
(Hanover) joined the coalition in 1714 for Hanover and in 1717 for Britain, and
Frederick William I
of
Brandenburg-Prussia
joined it in 1715.
