However, he was as healthy as he would ever be as a young King (of 25) when hiring Gundling and becoming increasingly abusive towards him,
I've seen the bad health argument, and while I'm sure the flare-ups didn't help, and I *know* the alcohol consumption didn't help, let's not remember that the Tiny Terror years were equally out of control! Between swallowing shoelaces/shoe fasteners, standing on the ledge of a window and threatening to jump to get his way, throwing his chamberlain out the window, beating up G2, beating up the Prince of Courland...his track record is pretty damn consistent throughout his life.
I wonder whether the youngest prince means literally the youngest prince, i.e. Ferdinand, which would put this event in 1736 or 1737, or the youngest prince at the time it happened, in which case it could have been Heinrich or even AW.
I was wondering the exact same thing.
