Frederick, Crown Prince of Brandenburg-Prussia will become a warrior king and an enlightened monarch that the likes of Prussia has never seen. His climb to power would be great but his childhood was not so easy. He would live with mistrust and violence at his heels. With relentless bullying from his own flesh and blood.

  1. well no matter what you say about his father, it was very clear that his father's teachings did as a matter of positively affected Frederick ll greatly atleast regarding the discipline, war, strategy and militirastic aspects of his rule.

  2. Gotta suck to be the soldiers who forced young Fredrick to watch his lover die.
    They had to know if they refused: the father would kill them.
    But they must have also known when Fredrick became king, he'd probably also kill them.

  3. I guess the reason Frederick-William was so obsessed with Military and Masculinity was because of Prussia state. Even the title "King in Prussia" would hurt ones ego as the ruler.
    If Rome would have survived the fall and was the size of current Germany instead of its full glory, I would be pretty sure the person who rules would have a massive ego complex to restore Rome to its full state.

  4. You have to remember that at this period boys having male lovers before submitting to marriage was totally normal in most of Europe especially the Catholic parts. Is only his father's strict calvinist flavor of protestantism fever that made it a problem.

    Feel sorry for his bride.
