re: emotional incest - there is this later quote in the Oster biogrpahy from one of Wilhelmine's letters during her 1750 visit to Prussia. The Margrave is already en route back to Bayreuth, Wilhelmine has fallen sick and stays behind in Berlin, Fritz is currently busy with something or the other, but the younger sibs try to entertain her, and she writes that it's nice to spend some time with them but "the one who owns all my heart" not being there makes her long for him. There's no question she doesn't write this about the Margrave.
Bayreuth Friedrich: I, too, am glad my sister did not marry the Great. I would have ended up dead on one of his battlefields for sure. As for name confusion, I will say that my mistress being called Wilhelmine Dorothea (von Marwitz) did make things easier in bed...
