The one thing that was new to me in here is I didn't know they tried talking religion to FW! Nice try, but the Brandenburg pastors tried it with Gundling's funeral and they tried it with Wilhelmine's marriage. No dice.
This is why in the AU where William of Orange adopts 12 years old FW, it's an open race as to whether FW once he's King of England first offends to aristocracy by lecturing them on how to live an austere manly life or the Anglican clergy by telling them they've been doing Protestantism all wrong, and hey, since he's now head of their Church, he'll tell the Archbishop of Canterbury exactly how to run things. The excuse for the Peter aiding and abetting is hilarious.

Isn't it just? "His Prussian Majesty, who had always honored him with his friendship" made me chuckle and think of "To Ferdinand, who has always shown me friendship."

Why I keep getting logged out, I do not know, but I suspect some conspiracy involving Prussian cyber agents from the beyond.
