Not that I doubted it, but I still love it when the dates line up this way. And I continue to be glad that Lehndorff gives us so much background and additional info and everyone and everything (except Katte :P), allowing for a much denser tapestry of events.
"Vollziehung der Ehe" is "consumation of marriage"
You know, I certainly know that turn of phrase, but still didn't immediately make the connection. Still, fascinating that this was a topic and the reason Fritz gave.
As I said above, I love that we have a first-hand account from Caroline's perspective here, and yeah, I agree with you guys that one can easily see how and why the dramatized story developed, but damn, that's quite a difference and I have to say, for our purposes, the truth is much more fun IMO.

I was wondering how Achim knew his grandmother remained a virgin during her Frederdorf marriage before reading her own quote on it. And doesn't it say a lot about the difference between the 18th and the 19th century, both that it was discussed before hand and that she later felt free to talk about it? 19th century historians and bowlderizers would have had the vapeurs.

Absolutely. Everyone comes out of it way better in this version from our Fritz/Fredersdorf shipping pov!
