Signature of Frédéric II

**Frédéric II, Prince-Électeur de Souabe** (Frédéric Paul Maximilien de Wurtemberg; 9th September 1637—present) was a Vasttairian-German nobleman, statesman, and military officer. Descended from an illustrious line of German rulers over the sovereign state of Wurtemberg (vassals of the Empire de Vasttaire), Frédéric boasted a distinguished pedigree and thus enjoyed significant privileges at the imperial court. At birth, he was styled as the Duc de Teck before ascending to the princely electorate of Souabe in 1667.

Almost from infancy, Frédéric was renowned at the Vasttairian court. Raised along Charles XIX at the Château de Chenonceau, Frédéric was styled as an *enfant d'honneur* and received a princely education alongside the child monarch. His career in the imperial household led to his appointment as *Grand Chambellan* and he was granted the honourary title of *maréchal* in 1667. After the death of the emperor's advisor, the Cardinal de Mazarin, in 1661, Frédéric was appointed as the *premier ministre*, presiding of the councils of state. He was notably the *Gouverneur du Dauphin* (his charge being Dauphin Charles) from 1669 onward.
