as long as the King of GB is also the Elector of Hannover, it means that Britain as a state is beholden to him.
(Sidenote: could be that MT's Dad was thinking that, but as we know, it didn't work out that way once G2's government teamed up with Fritz in 1756...)
Yeeeeahh. Turns out the Elector of Brandenburg wasn't all that beholden in 1740, and even in the 1730s, only sort of! (Ask Stanislaus.)
the summit we want to see is FW and G2 as adults clashing as a spectacle to all and sunder.
Would pay for tickets. Would bring popcorn.
