Announcing Rheinsberg: Frederick the Great discussion post 10

[cahn]

So for anyone who is reading this and would like to learn more about Frederick the Great and his contemporaries, but who doesn't want to wade through 500k (600k?) words worth of comments and an increasingly sprawling comment section:

We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

Would like to point out here that another, or even the actual Stuart claimant is Franz, Duke of Bavaria, concentration camp survivor and art lover, who does not want the job! (Being a Bavarian Wittelsbach and not a Prussian Hohenzollern, he's sane.)

Indeed. Sane is good! (The Polish guy also seems sane.) The reason I focus more on the other two is that there's no mystery about the genealogy with Franz, and since I have zero interest in giving any of these people any thrones, the more interesting ones to me are the "are they or aren't they?" ones where there's actual historical work to be done on their family trees.
