Nachstellungen: yes, my first interpretation would be that she's hitting on him. But you're right, 19th century sources are less than reliable especially when it comes to female monarchs. Though I suppose sooner or later, I'll have work my way through Varnhagen von Ense's numerous Prussian biographies, though I am really interested only in the one about his wife, Rahel, who was one of the most compelling of Berlin salonnieres of her time.
LOL on Fritz commemorating anyone on the Rheinsberg Monument. And travelling through Hungary. Hey, this is a way for him getting captured that I haven't considered at all until now! I mean, sure, presumably these tours would have taken place between wars, not in war time, but wellllll....
See, Andrew Bisset, since you were such a James Keith fanboy, you should have written his biography as well, then we'd know more!
