Geldern: became part of Prussia as part of the Treaty of Utrecht, which was negotiated between 1713 and 1715.
East Frisia: This is interesting, because as soon as I realized East Frisia was in Fritz's titles but not FW's, I thought, "Wait, didn't that that fall to Prussia a few years after 1740?" And sure enough, Wikipedia and the historical maps I'm consulting agree on 1744.
FW but not Fritz: Marquis zu der Behre und Blissingen.
Behr(e): I can't find it. Do our Germans have any idea?
Blissingen: Would make sense if this were modern-day Bisingen, which is where Hohenzollern Castle is located. Wikipedia tells me it was ruled by another branch of the Hohenzollern line and fell to Prussia when that branch went extinct in 1850.
FW: is definitely claiming Silesia! Which reminds me that Ziebura said F1 (
