The author considers sets of fixed points of finite, simple,
undirected, connected graphs with 1-factorizations. It is shown that the
maximum number of fixed points of 1-factorizations of graphs with $2n$
vertices cannot exceed $n$. The number is specifically determined for
complete graphs $K_2n$ for $n> 2$. As a partial converse: given a prime
$p$ there are graphs with $2p$ vertices whose 1-factorizations have
automorphisms with $p$ fixed points.
