That line is way too similar to be a coincidence, so I bet MZB came across the original version somehow. Which is interesting, because unlike Catherine de' Medici, Maria de'Medici is far more obscure in history pop culture. (To us. Voltaire actually worked the burning of Leonora and her exit line in one of his historical works, and so 18th century readers like Fritz would have known who she was.)

He. Since I don't see FW parting with one of his chosen Potsdam Giants unless the guy in question a) deserts, or b) storms in daggers in hand crying "Long live the Pope, G2 and the Crown Prince!", it would have to be fratricide....
