Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 48

[cahn]

Some awesome historical RPF candyheartsex stories for meeeeee (or by me, in one tiny case) with historical characters! I'm just going to note whom the stories are about here. They are all so good!!

Anne Boleyn/Catherine of Aragorn
Frances Howard and Frances Coke (or: James I's court was basically a HOTBED of scandal, omg)

And two that are also historical RPF but also consistent with the Jude Morgan novel The King's Touch, which is an excellent historical novel narrated by James ("Jemmy") Scott, Duke of Monmouth, Charles II's illegitimate son.

Princess Henrietta of England (Charles II's sister and wife of Philippe I duc d'Orleans)
James of Monmouth/William/Mary

Maupertuis: I never liked him!! I merely tolerated him for Émilie's sake!
(Selena: Your biographer says you two got along well in ye early days.)

Guy-Auguste de Rohan: I had my servants beat him up when that bastard got cheeky and dared to reply "Je commence mon nom, monsieur, vous finissez le vôtre“ to my question where he got his silly new name from!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: I never met him, but I wrote to my Dad I was glad he died a painful death when I got the news anyway. Just because I couldn't stand my boss the Prince Bishop doesn't mean I wasn't a died-in-the-wool Catholic!

Fredersdorf: Je ne parle pas le Francais.
