He does indeed. Without having read the Eva Z. biography yet, German language internet tells me this about Heinrich's known love interest:
Marwitz the hot page: frustrating, no one ever mentions a first name. Was probably related to Marwitz the cheating lady-in-waiting, though whether as cousin or brother, no one mentions.
Mara the sexy violinist: already covered in my post about Gertrud Elisabeth Schmeling Mara.
Christian Ludwig von Kaphengst: described by Thibault in his memoirs as tall (Heinrich, like his father and brother, really wasn't), cheerful, witty and courageous, but also an incorrigble spendrift. (Like Mara the sexy violinist.) Heinrich gave him Schloß Meseberg - which today is used by our government to host guests of state in - and had to sell 29 paintings from his personal collection to Catherine in Russia in order to get the cash. Kaphengst wanted a promotion in the army, and Fritz bluntly refused to grant it, whereupon Kaphengst quit the army and got into more debts, so much so that he pawned his entire estates, and in 1784 Heinrich had to apply for a loan in France (aka the least financially solvent state in Europe) to bail him and the estates out, with Louis XVI. personally acting as guarantee for Heinrich's ability to keep his word. Heinrich got the money and covered the bail, but then also finally called it quits with Kaphengst.
(Catherine: I would never do that for my boy toys. Men are just too emotional to rule.)
In conclusion, I hope that to be read biography tells me at least one of Heinrich's guys was a bit more deserving and not mainly in it for the money, because otherwise this is depressing.
(Hey, here's a possibility for the incest shippers - Heinrich/Fritz hate sex?)
