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.)

Ferdinand of Brunswick, of course! And now I think it might have been mentioned in Stratemann's reports, when both the Charlotte and the Fritz/EC marriage were nearing completion, that FW decided his youngest would now be called Ferdinand in honor of the Duke instead of August.

When I remembered he existed, I had to break my own rule and get out of bed and go get my phone to share the duh moment. ;) It makes so much more sense now.

Btw, I heard back from prinzsorgenfrei, and they are busy with university but going to help out with decipherment when they have time!
