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: Karl Ernst

[mildred_of_midgard]

Edzard Moritz zu Innhausen und Knyphausen, whose father was Carl Philipp, whose father was Franz Ferdinand, whose father was Dodo, whose younger son was Friedrich Ernst, whose daughter was Oriane, who married Peter.

So Edzard is Karl Ernst's second cousin. He's also the head of the family and has inherited the estate in Lütetsburg (a place whose name you may recognize from some correspondence you graciously conducted on my behalf last year).

Speaking of Lütetsburg and favors you've done me, the next time you're at the Stabi, would you mind scanning the Keith pages in the Lütetsburger Chronik? Judging by Google snippets, this is approximately pages 157-162?

Also! The Peter research is basically done at this point. I just need to transfer my few new findings into the essay, polish up some more footnote citations, and then I should have an essay!

This does mean I finished transcribing the memoirs, and I will try to get those translated for salon, hopefully by next weekend, if not this weekend.
