I love the idea re: Algarotti. Does it work out date-wise? (I.e. from when exactly is this letter?)
Thank you for linking Bielfeld's account. I have to say, "The King was a good deal piqued by this indiscretion; for if the marechal knew that it was the King of Prussia, he ought not to have received his visit, but to have prevented him with the marks of utmost repect" is as Fritzian an alternate story for "Broglie locked me up!" that I can imagine. :)
