Yeah Frederick the Great was uh not fucking well. Really good at war, like military dress uniforms the world over are still inspired by what he thought men looked hot in, but yeah he was certainly one of the heavily traumatized gay kings of Renaissance Europe.

Frederick the Great wasn't well? His dad, Frederick Wilhelm, was deeply unwell, but Frederick the Great was remarkably well-adjusted for a traumatized pre-industrial king. Plays the flute, loves dogs, loves men, embraces art and philosophy, looks after the welfare of the common people, and has a little war, as a treat.
