Re: The Braunschweig Perspective: On the Wings of an Angel

He's sent fool garnments and refuses to wear them (Stratemann: But they were presents! How could he!).

Ugh! Gundling is one of those (quite a few) things I will just never forgive FW for :( Though lol Stratemann :)

Editor Richard Wolff: the Margravine gives one of her typical exaggarated descriptions of this meeting in her memoirs of these four gentlemen trying to "bully" her into marriage.

Ugh, wow.

Meanwhile ,the British envoy: Wilhelmine looked pale and if she'd faint the entire time, and the Queen was upset and almost in tears, and the King glowered. Taking the British bias into acccount, I suppose the truth was somewhere in between, but Stratemann's polyanna-ness is still striking.

Poor Wilhelmine :(
