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: Mitchell backstory

Also, one of the reason why he changes his opinion of Heinrich is that he sees Heinrich taking care of helpless people (in this case POWs and people from occupied territories), which, again, allows some speculation.

Oooh, I like this. Okay, that helps. Because a big problem with Mitchell and fic for me is that his work with Fritz in the Seven Years' War got him slotted into my brain under "coworker"--you may like him and you may think he's competent, but imagining his orgasms is Right Out!
