Frederick the Great, discussion post 16

[cahn]

We have slowed down a lot, but are still (sporadically) going! And somehow filled up the last post while I wasn't looking!

...I was asked to start a new thread so that STDs could be discussed. Really! :D

Ambassadors

[cahn]

All just because I ensured he didn't get married to an English princess, which, given the rest of his life, really, what's the problem there?

Lol Seckendorf!

...have we talked about Charles Williams before?? *goes to look* Oh, he has a middle name, go figure :) (Charles Williams is the name of one of the Inklings who wrote really bizarre poetry and novels which I love, so I think (?) I would have remembered if we'd talked about him using exactly that name. :) )

Yeah, we've met him as the Chevalier Williams and Hanbury-Williams. I haven't read the other Charles Williams, but I'm enough of a Tolkienist that that's where my mind immediately went too! (I've read Humphrey Carpenter's The Inklings, which is where most of my indirect knowledge of him comes from.)
