cahnLast post, along with the usual 18th-century suspects, included the Ottonians; changing ideas of conception and women's sexual pleasure; Isabella of Parma (the one who fell in love, and vice versa, with her husband's sister); Henry IV and Bertha (and Henry's second wife divorcing him for "unspeakable sexual acts"). (Okay, Isabella of Parma was 18th century.)

Guy-Dickens: And yet somehow you chose to admire him from a distance. After finding out he wanted you to wear the same fool's get up he made Gundling wear.
Fassmann: True friendship works best from afar. Especially when a Hohenzollern is involved.
Algarotti: I'm not disagreeing.
More seriously, I do think Prince Moustache has the claim of being undisputedly the best friend FW ever had, and given he has the dubious honour of inventing the Prussian Drill, which depending on your pov was great or terrible for Prussia, married the commnoner he loved despite being of the highest nobility and had a burgher style family life, and thought his sons didn't need any book learning, they certainly were twin souls.
