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We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

Oh, I really like this! Good job keeping it brief :) And man, this is invaluable for looking at when I'm reading letters :D

(Also I'm seeing what you mean by chronology as characterization. 1762, man. I mean you guys had told me that already but it's something to see the dates just all laid out like that.)

I'd also like birth dates of Fritz's other siblings, not just our problematic faves :)

1727: Is this George I of England? Add in that George II becomes king?

SO MANY SIBLINGS. (The only way for FW to get laid, lol.) Okay, all the siblings it shall be. Death dates too?

George: Yes, I meant to include George II, good catch! Thanks.

Having just seen the superb result, just one more thing - make clear that Peter's widow gets the money in recompense for losing Jägerhof per annum, not as a one time only thing.

Yep, should have included that. Fixed, thanks!
