Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 45

[cahn]

Unfortunately, there was then at Berlin a King who pursued one policy only, who deceived his enemies, but not his servants, and who lied without scruple, but never without necessity.

(from The King's Secret - by Duke de Broglie, grand-nephew of the subject of the book, Comte de Broglie, and grandfather of the physicist) )

Ah, yes, your fave Marguerite Louise. :D Yeah, the ones I would be up for writing would be GG and GD, the Cardinal uncle, Ferdinando, Violante Beatrice, and maaaybe Anna Maria Luisa. The others would require more research for me. (I do own a bio on the much-maligned wife of GG, but I haven't put it through my translation algorithms yet, because the author's other works that I read, on GD and GG, were...not inspiring.)

3rd century Roman emperors it shall be! (Assuming I sign up, still debating.)
