Though they were both Armand, just to make things more difficult for us.

Can you link us to the Frederican justification from last year, if you can find it, so we can use it as a model for the Enlightenment one?

Frederician justification. If you want to take a stab at the Enlightenment evidence post, I would be pleased. :)

How about:

Fandom: 18th Century European Enlightenment

Possible issue with the fandom: The era overlaps with 18th Century Frederician fandom in terms of dates.

Why this fandom should be considered eligible: While the Frederician fandom focuses on a cast strongly connected to Friedrich II. of Prussia, "European Enlightenment" stands for an international cast of scientists, philosophers, writers and society people, most of whom don't have a connection to Friedrich, whose dynamics with each other we want to explore. If we nominate someone like Émilie du Chatelet or Lady Mary Wortley-Montagu, we want the focus to be on them as protagonists of the European Enlightenment in their own right. Morever, knowledge of them does not require knowledge of Prussian history, which, by contrast, is very important in the Frederician fandom.
