Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 42

[cahn]

Last post, we had (among other things) Danish kings and their favorites; Louis XIV and Philippe d'Orléans; reviews of a very shippy book about Katte, a bad Jacobite novel, and a great book about clothing; a fic about Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire; and a review of a set of entertaining Youtube history videos about Frederick the Great.

Re: Answers from the last post

So, hilariously, apparently Frederik of Denmark admired Friedrich of Prussia (and Karl XII of Sweden), and wanted Denmark to adopt a more militaristic approach, but Moltke and Bernstorff were like "NO." So that part wouldn't be surprising at first...and then it would be very, VERY surprising.

Heeeeee!
