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.

There's defnitely more Brandenburg, and more ancient Prussians this way. And the Hanse, I expect.

Yes, I'm super looking forward to the Hanseatic League, which is a real gap in my knowledge base! And given how busy I am (learning Danish and French and working with Prinzsorgenfrei on archival material) this year, I'm okay with putting off the 14th century until next year.

(Meanwhile, Fritz, as you pointed out back in the day when I reviewed their correspondence, casts himself as Dido and Voltaire as Aeneas.)

Oh, lol, that's right! Thank you for the reminder.

These two. :D
