You did most of the work! I had of course wondered, but had written it off as "large noble family" (see also: letter forwarder Captain Katte not being the same as Zeithain-attending Colonel Katte) without checking. And when I did go digging at your suggestion, it was mostly your backstories on the Pannewitz women that allowed me to connect the dots with confidence. Well done, us!
So I think we're on reasonably good ground to assume she knew and liked him. And had undoubtedly her own opinion on royal justice when it came to his execution. (And of the King being fully of sympathy for the "promising young man" in December.)
I'm not sure we have evidence per se that she liked him? But my headcanon is totally that she did, and that she punched FW on her own behalf, on Katte's behalf, and by extension, ON MY BEHALF. Ahem.
It must have been a subject at home, right?
Absolutely! It must have been a subject in everyone's home for a while!
Given that the wedding festivities demanded FW's public presence all the time, he must have noticed.
"I walked into a door," the old battered wife excuse. :P
Fritz and Fredersdorf: *snickering behind their hands together*
It must have been the highlight of an otherwise grim episode for Fritz.
