Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 39

[cahn]

Last 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.)

Re: Leopold II

[selenak]

Indeed it has to be. BTW, we're counting numbers, then let#s not forget who the King of Bohemia is and always has been since the Habsburgs nailed that realm for good. And that youngest MT son Max is the Archbishop of Cologne. (Rather unfairly accused by Leopold in not being his own man in the "How and why my family sucks" rant, when Joseph biographer Beales provides ample evidence to the contrary.)
