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.

I did not predict Hungarian Habsburg loyalist circa 1930!

So say we all. Like I mentioned, in theory, I knew they still existed, because not every Hungarian was into independence and against the k.u. k. monarchy, but never have I ever come across one before...

Your write-up of the intro had me in literal tears. I'm so delighted that you got not only this book but this copy of this book, with the angry Fritz fanboy with the old-fashioned handwriting!

So was I. I was hoping for more angry comments, but after the preface, he seems to have given up. Or she. I mean, for all I know it was an angry fangirl, not an angry fanboy!
