* Louise: you should pay me in Brandenburgian gold, because it doesn't matter whether AW's posthumous debts are paid a few months earlier or a few months later.
...Maybe it matters to the people who are getting paid? The economy's pretty shaky for all of you.
* Wait, Wilhelmine Encke was 12 when FW2 fell in love with her?? Also, wait, Ziebura's dates don't match Wikipedia's. According to Ziebura, she was 12 in 1764 (cahn, FW2 was 19), but according to Wikipedia, she was born December 29, 1753, so in 1764, she'd be 10.
Ziebura says she became his lover in 1766, at which point she would have been 14 according to Ziebura and 12 according to Wikipedia, and then official mistress in 1769, when she was 15 (and he was 24).
* Do I have this right?
Kalckreuth drops onto his knee and grabs Mina's hand just as his conspirator makes sure to lead Heinrich in. One of Mina's ladies was like, "It's not what it looks like! He was asking her permission to marry me!" Heinrich was like, "Dammit. I could have gotten a divorce. Okay, but now you have to marry her, Kalckreuth." Now loyal friend of Mina Fräulein von Morrien gets stuck married to jerk!Kalckreuth, living in East Prussia and dying in childbed a year later??
No good deed goes unpunished, I guess. :/
I'm sorry, Fräulein von Morrien!
Oof, looking at the dates, Ziebura says she was 12 years older than Kalckreuth, which means she was...41/42 when giving birth. I can see where that might have been an especially rough birth.
...Next time just punch him in the nose until he bleeds.
