Lol, reading further, I see you beat me to it. Well, then, this is (one reason) why you're my book-reading canary before I spend money!
(I should add here that the reason why none of the Danes at the Prussian court was into the Tabacgie wasn't the one we'd assume, it was pure snobbery - FW had born commoners like Gundling there was well as noble men!)
*facepalm* You guys! Okay, good to know, in case he shows up in fic.
However, post Katte execution and replacement of Lovenorn by Johnn, FW kept feeling insulted, in this case by Lohnn only being a Legationssekretär, of lower rank than Lovenorn had been, and thus replaced his own envoy in Denmark, Biedersee, as well, calling him back at the end of May 1731 and replacing him with a Legationssekretär, Iwatzhoff
Ahh, this is cool, thanks!
Maybe FW suspected who'd been the source of that Katte pamphlet?
Maybe!
Lastly (about this era, not the book), naturally Denmark and Prussia had a dispute about FW's most favourite thing, recruiting tall men.
More than once, since my Google searches show Lovenorn and von Johnn writing letters of protest to FW in October 1730 and December 1730 respectively! With actual record numbers from the archives. (Unlike the Katte report. Why doesn't Hartmann realize we need archive numbers and preferably a transcription of the entire report? Fishing disputes. I ask you!)
Lastly, guess what: Memme Siefkin isn't on Danish territory anymore. He escaped to Holland and wants to stay there. So: you're not getting any tall guys from us!"
FW: Grrr. Argh. You're so lucky I'm not into wars of agression!
LOLOL. Sometimes I think the reason FW wasn't into wars of aggression was that he'd then end up in a war with EVERYONE, even beyond the Seven Years' War, over his recruiting methods.
Anyway, the book seems to contain useful info, at the cost of "Written in what year?" Thanks for checking this out for us!
