I mean, I wouldn't exclude the possibility that he has mixed feelings about Fritz as well
Oh sure, I totally believe that. I think he'd have to be a saint not to have mixed feelings when his son would still hvae been alive if Fritz hadn't gotten him involved. But that's distinct from actually executing him. >:(
Absolutely. And that's why I'm majorly sideeying those editors and historians who are complaining about her being a bad daughter, or hysterical, and that poor FW was the one to be pitied, with his wife and two oldest ganging up on him.
:((((((((((((( Yeah, no.
On a lighter note, Hervey in his memoirs has this passage of G2 ranting about how lousy sons are the worst, absolute scum, fathers are martyrs, and then he suddenly recalls his own dear old dad and adds, yes, okay, there are bad fathers and good sons as well.
Hah! Hervey, you always come through with amusement value. Lol.
