Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Library of Historic Characters and Famous Events of All Nations and All Ages, Vol. 4 of 10 Frederic II. (or in the German form Friedrich), King of Prussia, was, says Lord Macaulay, "the greatest king that has, in modern times, succeeded, by right of birth, to a throne." His contemporaries bestowed on him the surname of "the Great," and posterity has confirmed the title. Carlyle has devoted to the record of his life the longest of his works, and presents him as the modern embodiment of the divine right of the able or "cunning" man, the man that can, to be konig or king. Frederic´s father, Frederic William I., was a man of violent temper, whose ruling passion was the love of money, and who did much to promote the prosperity of his country, then the humblest of kingdoms. His wife, Sophia Dorothea, was a daughter of that George who became Elector of Hanover in 1698, and King of England in 1714. Frederic was born in the palace at Berlin, on the 24th of January, 1712, a year before his father succeeded to the throne. Frederic was instructed first by Madame de Roucoulles, a French refugee, who had also instructed his father. His eldest sister, Frederica Sophia Wilhelmina, was educated with him, and a mutual affection and admiration for each other´s talents continued unchanged and undiminished till the death of the princess.
