Renember Countess Bentinck, she of Mission: Seduce Heinrich!fame, young Sophie's horse riding heroine, she who first shocked and then befriended Lehndorff, and palled around with Voltaire?
:D Countess Bentinck! :D
In such circumstances, he would have to resort to trying the channel Fredersdorf. He asked for direction of how far he could go, as he guesses he won't get taken seriously below 1000 pistols.
Hee, awesome :)
but also appoints Caspar von Saldern to do the the actual governing instead of Uncle Bad Touch, evidently not trusting his abilities.
Heh. Catherine always sounds awesome :)
is the victim of a palace coup in which he and Caroline Mathilda get arrested by army officers in the pay of King Christian's stepmother Juliana Maria. This is retrospectively justified when Juliana Maria makes the King sign the warrent.
On the other hand, Juliana sounds like something else too! Although I see from your comment below that she definitely had her reasons. But, like, can you see EC doing anything like that??
Because Juliana is Juliana of Braunschweig-Wolffensbüttel, (much younger) sister to EC and Louise (Juliana was born in 1729). Fritz hasn't been keen on either Bernstorff or Struenseen, but he's not going to waste the opportunity of another fan on the throne of a neigboring country. He's writing Juliana about 300 letters for the rest of her life, treating her better than any other family member (with the arguable exception of Louise in the post AW years) and certainly way better than his wife.
*blinks* Oh man, I feel sorry for EC all over again :( But I can see it, Juliana seems much more on his wavelength...
Yep, sounds like a selfish schemer, alright
Yep. Poor Struensee!
One nice thing Juliana did: she took in the surviving siblings of locked up Czar Ivan IV. who were after all her nieces and nephews when Catherine finally released them from the end of the world. But she did have Catherine pay for their upkeep.
Well, okay :) I do like to hear, as you know, about when schemers do nice things, or when nice people do terrible things (and why they do the scheming or the terrible things), so thank you for this, and for all of this :)
