'That idiot Leibniz, who wants to teach me about the infinitesimally small! Has he therefore forgotten that I am the wife of Frederick the First, how can he imagine that I am unacquainted with my own husband?'

'Gentlemen, our good master is dead,' he told his father’s courtiers. 'The new king bids you all go to hell.'

This sounds like a very intriguing work of historical fiction and maybe I shall read it :D

(That is, this sounds like the kind of story that might or might not be true and probably isn't cited but the bio seems very readable and with lots of interesting stories.)

Even I knew about Caesarion, lol! Okay, in my case because of reading Judith Tarr's historical fiction, but anyway.
