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.)

Okay, this is kind of amazing!

I loved that description of Oliver Cromwell, too, which is why I quoted it.

Huh, yeah, when even I know it!

What would Posa, Elisabeth and Carlos say about this development! Talk about a Diplomatic Revolution. But yeah, William was a pragmatist. Spain was on the decline, Louis was the one who kept invading. Why, hello there, amigos!
