Friedrich had started to talk to him because he had thought of him as a bit of a ditz.
And now here he was. Here he was months later, bundled up in this very same man’s blankets with a cup of hot coffee in front of him, its scent mixing with that of Katte’s French perfume.

Re: Pope Joan

It was a ragingly successful novel in Germany - just titled "Die Päpstin" - for which there is a German musical, cahn, here is one of the more popular songs (inevitably Johanna and her true love - other than learning - who later will get her pregnant at the worst time imaginable) from it. So popular that there's even a German sequel by someone else who asked for a license to write one and got it.

Ooh, a sequel in a language I can (sort of) read! Can you give me the title and author?

Though Joan dies at the end, so if there's a sequel, it better be about Arnalda. Aww, now I want Arnalda fanfic. (Perhaps predictably, given my tastes, she also disguises herself as a man, and I adore her mentor/mentee relationship with Joan. I could get behind a sequel about her.)

Das Erbe der Päpstin, by Helga Glaesener. Bear in mind I haven‘t read it, so don‘t know whether it‘s good.

Understood. Thank you!
