In our last installment, our heroes found that Henri de Catt's memoirs, a major source for current biographers of Frederick the Great, are not to be trusted!!

I just discovered (thanks to Blanning, whom I've started rereading), that there is a "Rev. and supplemented ed. of German translation of French original" of Catt's diary, translated by Paul Hartig, 1986. Because it was published in 1986, I can't get it online, but you might be able to find it in a library, if you want something better the clumsy Google translate version I produced, and also there might be interesting commentary.

Especially since that business wiht the Stuarts must have been on every Protestant's mind in this regard, and that, too, started with first family members converting.

I meant to add that this is an excellent point!
