Duhan being on the payroll was news to me; I mean, good for him, since exiles are notoriously short of money. I do wonder, though, whether MT ever got to see that expense sheet with all the money paid for future influence on Fritz once she was on the throne. If so, it could be the reason why she freed Seckendorff from prison but didn't offer him a job herself (which his 18th century biographer claims was the reason why he offered his services to her Wittelsbach rival instead). Also whether Manteuffel lost his pension once Fritz kicked him out of the country. (Though otoh he clearly had enough connections within Prussia to report accurately about Fritz' aborted trip to France within record time, so they might have considered it worth keeping him on the payroll.)

Irishman Murnay in Potsdam is a man of mystery! Who might he have been, servant or courtier?

Also, I have to say I'm with Seckendorff in his "ursurer my ass" reaction to Fritz' diatribe in the "Histoire de la Maison de Brandenburg".
