		Friedrich Wilhelm, out of filial piety, wore at his father`s funeral the grand French peruke and other sublimities of French costume; but it was for the last time: that sad duty once done, he flung the whole aside, not without impatience, and on no occasion wore such costume again.
		Friedrich Wilhelm keeps only thirty Horses; but these are very actual, not imaginary at all; their corn not running into any knave`s pocket; but lying actually in the mangers here; getting ground for you into actual four-footed speed, when, on turf or highway, you require such a thing.
		Friedrich Wilhelm carries it through every fibre and cranny of Prussian Business, and so far as possible, of Prussian Life; so that Prussia is all a drilled phalanx, ready to the word of command; and what we see in the Army is but the last consummate essence of what exists in the Nation everywhere.

	The Hohenzollern succession and the Federal Court of Justice ruling of 1998
		Wilhelm II (1859-1941), German Emperor and King of Prussia, abdicated in November 1918 and retired to Doorn (Holland).
		At the death of Louis Ferdinand (1994), the clauses of Wilhelm's will required that the successor of Louis Ferdinand not be unequally married or born of an unequal marriage: this by-passed Friedrich Wilhelm and Michael, and made Georg Friedrich the heir and head of house.
		Had Wilhelm decided to impose a religious requirement, or a height requirement, or to leave his estate to his janitor or his dog, the court might well have upheld it as well, because of the right to dispose of one's estate without grievious infringement of the personal rights of one's offspring.

		Although Friedrich I took pains to imitate the profligate glories of the court of Louis XIV at Versailles, Prussia, being the 'new kid' among the European nations, was dubbed a forgettable backwater.
		The man arguably responsible for putting Prussia on the path for future glory was King Friedrich's son, Friedrich Wilhelm, who bestowed Prussia with an organized army and an efficient government at the heavy cost of giving it the questionable distinction of being the world's first modern police state.
		The second Friedrich returned from his father's funeral, though, he ordered that much of the fine furniture and even all of the carpets, which he considered a luxury, be thrown out of the main palace.
