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

[mildred_of_midgard]

Wasn't he also the Biche donator? Or was that German Rothenburg? Anyway, yes, him, too.

German Rothenburg. But yes.

Valory to Rottembourg: Granted, I only met him once he was on the throne, but seriously? I shudder to think what he'd have been like with absolute power at age 14!

Less abused! Everyone wins! (Except maybe the French, who aren't going to get anything like the gratitude or dependence they expect, but hey, you can't win them all.)

All the Ambassadors from FW's era except Seckendorf: But he's so sensitive, so smart, so abused! We want to adopt him and cherish him!

Suhm: Adopt! Right, yes, that's what I want to do with him.

:P

(At least for the later stages of the FW era. I would never accuse Suhm of anything inappropriate. The earliest evidence we have of friendship is with the 16-yo, and romantic leanings the 24-yo.)

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. But the escaping to Hanover, where FW is not!

Charles Williams (1756): I'm entering the third stage of syphilis and also Prussia has just become our ally. I therefore turn my opinion on the King of Prussia around by 180 degrees and declare him a total genius and wonderful. I even kiss his portrait.

Third stage of syphilis, LOL forever. The envoys keep it interesting!
