Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 40

[cahn]

I'm trying to use my other account at least occasionally so I posted about my Yuletide gifts there, including the salon-relevant 12k fic that features Fritz, Heinrich, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Saint Germain, Caroline Daum (Fredersdorf's wife), and Groundhog Day tropes! (Don't need to know canon.)

It brings back happy memories of Cape Stallion.

It does, and Travel Jokes, and the cheap warehouse in rubbish soaps. I enjoyed your comment that you looked forward to the arrival of Chalk Remorse!

Since he then dies at age 16, it's even less likely he ever hung out with Eugene, because wasn't Eugene the youngest of Olympe's kids?

I had the same thought as you initially, but I cross-referenced the dates, and the chronology checks out. He died in 1683, the same year Eugene left France for Austria. So they would have been hanging out at orgies (and hopefully not torture sessions) at the same time.
