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

Re: Leining to Fredersdorf: Letter 1, take 2 - Translation

Okay, crazy idea: is there any chance that says kränc? I know it's a stretch on at least 5 counts. So I'm prepared to be asked what I'm smoking. :P But at least it's not "krum"!

ETA: I went looking for our worst speller who talks about sickness, i.e. Fritz writing to Fredersdorf, in hopes of precedent, but no, even he spells it better than that ("kranck", which is very common in this period).

I really don't see it - not to mention that even for the time, that particular spelling would seem very weird to me.

I agree completely, that's just the desperation talking. Thanks for the second opinion!
