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: Nancy Goldstone has nothing on this one...

Though it would have to be awfully discreet exploring, given in any event he would have needed FW's permission (just as FW2 needed his, and Heinrich, too, hence no divorced Mina), and he must have known that short of EC blatantly cheating on him with the French ambassador in front of FW, no permission would have been given.
