*nods* As we've talked about before on your DW, purely progressive heroes in historical fic are... not what I want to read about. The Voltaire thing is neat! And in general it's interesting to contrast this one with Stade (especially since Stade finished it) and Stade's Gundling book, so I'm glad that you read them all and posted about them :)
in 1747 (!!!!!), Fritz tells Knobelsdorff he can't return to Rheinsberg anymore, he's given it to Heinrich because Heinrich will be Regent if anything happens to him or if he retires, and Heinrich can prepare himself for the rule of the Kingdom in Rheinsberg just as Fritz himself has done.
LOL! Poor AW. And hey, I have faith in Heinrich, he could pull off being regent as a... *double-checks dates, love that rheinsberg chronology* 21-year-old, right? :D (Okay, okay, I can't imagine Fritz thinking so even if Heinrich could have.)
I must say though that I did NOT see the Fredersdorf twist coming!!
