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.)

In the English speaking world, my dear.

Well, yes, this is an English-speaking broadcast we're discussing. I expect what's well-known and what's not to be different in the German speaking world!

Seriously though, given that and the Bad Gays podcast, I wish one of us would do a podcast of their own where we could do an hour introduction to Fritz

I agree!
