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.)

Today in Frederician Fandom

[selenak]

As we‘ve been reminded,today at ten am Fredersdorf died, making both Karoline and Fritz widow(er)s. It wasn‘t a long life if you cmpare it with contemporaries like Louis XIV, but he did not die young, and he lived his best life. Hail and farewell.

And so soon after we got the email for their Kennenlerntag. Hail and farewell, Fredersdorf. <3 I will try to clear your name!

(Psst: it still helps if people express an interest at regular intervals. Rigorously documenting claims is teeeeeedious.)

Funny and sad at the same time. Fritz, I recognize the validity of your marriage even if the state and church of your day did not. <3

As a contributing member of the "Justice for Fredersdorf!" society, I am certainly still interested!

(And I'm still on track to be able to hunt down genealogy for you next week!)

This and the Fredersdorf Defense Fund will never not be funny.
