 FREDERICK THE GREAT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Frederick's upbringing and education were strictly controlled by his father, who was a martinet as well as a paranoiac.
Frederick William I deeply despised the artistic and intellectual tastes of his son and was infuriated by Frederick's lack of sympathy with his own rigidly puritanical and militaristic outlook.
Though Frederick took the offensive and thus unleashed a great military struggle, there is no doubt that he was by 1756 seriously threatened, indeed, even more seriously than he himself realized, and that his enemies, most of all the empress Elizabeth, meant to destroy Prussia's newly won international status.

 Morell Mackenzie
Frederick's physicians suspected that he was suffering from laryngeal cancer and were preparing to perform a thyrotomy when the powerful Chancellor Otto von Bismark and Frederick's father, Emperor William I, discovered their plans.
Mackenzie was the leading physician treating Frederick at this time, but he was able to offer the ailing prince little more than constant checking of his condition and attempts to make him more comfortable.
As the news of the Prince's condition spread, the press began to criticize Dr. Mackenzie's treatment of the patient and accused him of mismanaging the case.

 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788)
As an absolute monarch, Frederick largely dictated many aspects of the musical life of Berlin, and he exerted considerable influence on the development of music in the city between 1740 and 1755.
The reality of wartime Prussia was that King Frederick visited Berlin only occasionally, and on the whole life at the royal court withered.
After leaving the employ of King Frederick the Great of Prussia and settling in Hamburg, Bach was no longer restricted by the conservative tastes of the royal court, and he was able to indulge in a more daring, experimental kind of music.

 Amazon.com: Frederick the Great: King of Prussia: Books: David Fraser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
An Enlightenment man, Frederick (1712-1786) wrote elegantly (in French; his German was execrable), composed music, corresponded with philosophers, introduced a humane penal code, tolerated all religions but adhered to none and led brilliant military maneuvers.
Frederick, King of Prussia, indisputably the greatest general/statesman of the eighteenth century, is also in many ways a more attractive warlord than some of his peers.
Frederick the Great is undoubtedly one of the most elusive characters of the 18th century: like Napoleon, historians and biographers will have to duke it out for a few more centuries before we can accurately assess who he was and what kind of ruler, and man, he was.

"After the royal family entered the Riding House, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert came in and to the front, where I was introduced to her Majesty and the Prince Consort, while sitting on the back of a large wild colt, which stood perfectly quiet with its head up.
When Queen Victoria and Prince Albert entered, they found the animal lying down, and I lying beside him, with one of his hind feet under my head and the other over my chest.
This colt was led in by a halter and left alone with the horse tamer, who intimated a wish that the company would retire for a few minutes to the farther end of the building.

And, at the same time, what originally was a people armed for their own defence now becomes changed into a ready and handy army of attack, into an instrument of Cabinet policy.
In 1861 Prussia had a population of rather more than eighteen millions, and every year 227,000 young men became liable to military service by attaining the age of twenty.
Whoever has been in Prussia during a war must have been struck by the enormous number of strong hearty fellows between twenty and thirty-two who remained quietly at home.
