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.)

at some point she says that one of the witnesses is 70 and ill and will die soon anyway? :'D

Also, I just want to point out that people said the same thing about Cardinal Fleury: "Suuure, let him be Louis XV's de facto prime minister, he's 73 and I/my guy can make a bid for his job soon," and then it was 15 years later and he was almost 90, and French courtiers were WTFing all over the place. :D
