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: Execution of two Jacobite Lords - Questions

Ah, thank you for providing the biographical background! Incidentally, can I bother you to check whether any of your Jacobite sources mention Molly Lepell/Lady Hervey; since some of her kids were so upset about the Jacobite loyalties, I'm curious as to how the actual Jacobites saw her, if they did.

I think I can say right off that I've never come across her in any of my Jacobite reading!
