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 3, take 2

Yeah, okay. Which means now I'm questioning whether the t doesn't much rather look like an F. ;) (There was a French sculptor with those initials - Sigisbert Francois Michel - who became head sculptor for Fritz after the war, but that's maybe too tenuous a connection.)

Hmm! Looking closely, I'm in agreement that that's the same general shape as his 'f', more than his 't', though I don't have an exact comparison (where the 't' or 'f' is neither initial, nor joined to any adjacent characters, before or after).

However, I feel like, whereas Sigisbert Francois might well have signed his *own* name "SF Michel", writing someone *else*'s name as "SF Michel" is weird. I'd expect "Mr. Michel".

In short, I'm not convinced, but I am contemplating it. :)
