Topic: Prince Augustus Wilhelm of Prussia


  
  Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Wilhelm II of Germany
Wilhelm II of Prussia and Germany, Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Hohenzollern (January 27, 1859–June 4, 1941) was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and the last King (König) of Prussia, ruling from 1888 to 1918.
Wilhelm was educated at Kassel at the Friedrichsgymnasium and the University of Bonn.
Crown Prince Wilhelm was purported to have a sexual fetish for women with "beautiful hands," and his propensity to pursue prostitutes whose hands suited him and then neglecting to pay them for services created headaches for Herbert and Otto von Bismarck while the then Crown Prince was still under their collective wings.

 FREDERICK WILLIAM II. OF PRUSSIA - LoveToKnow Article on FREDERICK WILLIAM II. OF PRUSSIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
(1744-1797), king of Prussia, son of Augustus William, second son of King Frederick William I. and of Louise Amalie of Brunswick, sister of the wife of Frederick the Great, was born at Berlin on the 2 5th of September 1744, and became heir to the throne on his fathers death in 1757.
In 1781 Frederick William, then prince of Prussia, inclined, like many sensual natures, to mysticism, had joined the Rosicrucians, and had fallen under the influence of Johann Christof Wollner (1732-1800), and by him the royal policy was inspired.
Prussia had paid a heavy price for the territories acquired at the expense of Poland in 1793 and i~g5, and when, on the 16th of November 1797, Frederick William died, he left the state in bankruptcy and confusion, the army decayed and the monarchy discredited.

This taunt was used for political purposes in England, and Cumberland's own brother, Frederick, Prince of Wales (Frederick, Prince of Wales: more facts about this subject) (who had been refused permission to take a military role on his father's behalf), seems to have encouraged the virulent attacks upon the duke.

 Gottfried Leibniz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (also von Leibni(t)z) (July 1 (June 21 Old Style) 1646, Leipzig – November 14, 1716, Hanover) was a German polymath, deemed a genius in his day and since.
He thenceforth employed his pen on all the various political, historical, and theological matters involving the House of Brunswick; the resulting documents form a valuable part of the historical record for the period.
Among the few people in north Germany to warm to Leibniz were the Electress Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714), her daughter Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (1668-1705), the Queen of Prussia and his avowed disciple, and Caroline of Ansbach, the consort of her grandson, the future George II.
