Oh cool that you've figured out that the two Schwerins are the same person!
SO. The son of the woman who's supposed to have had an affair with Schwerin writes a satire about Fritz's participation in Mollwitz, which was won by Schwerin. Did this come up at all in the satire??? Did it make it extra offensive to Fritz??
If so, I kind of wonder if Fritz would *ever* give her money, even 10 years later, especially if he was already pissed off at her for protecting her son.
So maybe not. But I bet the personal history between Schwerin and Charlotte von Knyphausen, whether real or just rumored, definitely lent some extra oomph to the context of that satire. [ETA: I see [personal profile] selenak was thinking along similar lines.]
Yeah, to both of you: WOW. I can totally see Fritz just getting extra special angry about all of this :P
