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.)

This is amazing, and I have to admit I am darkly amused the AI, having learned that Fritz and FW are two different people, proceeds to blame Fritz for Katte's death. "For the sake of your ego, of course" is the most Fritz/Voltairian line ever.
