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.)

Anyway, raping, castrating and killing a guy and torturing women is quite different from organizing consensual m/m orgies, so I hope that it either didn't happen this way or that young Eugene did not participate.

Btw, Wikipedia's source is Ziegler's Der Hof Ludwigs XIV. [des Vierzehnten] in Augenzeugenberichten, which seems like your kind of thing! Have you read it?

I have not!

It looks like it's faster and cheaper to get a copy to Germany than to the US, and as I'm fine with not owning it myself, why don't I just send you a copy? No write-up expected, just think it might be useful to you.

It would be, and that would be lovely.
