Clearly, we'll have to read up on Stratemann of Brunswick
Great minds think alike! A quick glance through Oster when I was doing that write-up didn't show me what the source for Stratemann is, nor have I googled, but those items are on my to-do list.
Also, like you so often said, Mildred: the envoys are where it's at! :)
Also exactly what I was thinking when I realized we have a new envoy!
Maybe FW not getting along with his oldest kids at all in 1730 translated into liking the baby (until new baby Ferdinand was born) but not so much anymore once he grew older and developed a (suspiciously Fritz like) personality.
Maybe? And as you've pointed out, AW was Heinrich's hero, so maybe FW heard about how Heinrich just adored his new roommate and looked up to him in everything, and FW thought, "That boy's going places!" (He is, just not in the way you might think, FW.)
Magdeburgers: well, I seem to recall we have the two part FW biography in the library? I haven't braved that one yet, but it could be in there.
Oh, Förster, you're right! Hmm, I've put "Förster detective work" on my to-do list, assuming you don't get around to "Förster write-up from the royal reader" first. ;)
