Wait, did she actually call him that or is it something you made up along the lines of the Queen of Hungary? Either way, this was a very amusing outline. :D
Also, this
Any beggars throwing dung at him shall be rewarded with a life time pension.
reminds me: Apparently, when Fritz visited Aachen in 1742, with 16-year-old Heinrich as company and right after Silesia 1, there were some tumultuous scenes happening in front of his quarters - enough so that the mayor had to issue an edict to admonish the local youths and students to stop their "impertinent yelling, running to and fro, and stone-throwing". Since Fritz mentions in a letter to Podewils that he was surprised by the local anti-France sentiments, I guess that, plus the abundance of catholicism in Aachen, might have been enough for some antipathy? (Also, Voltaire was living next door to Fritz for a week then, which might have attracted some trouble as well? Though he isn't mentioned in the edict.)
