### Romantic Interests

Maximilian of Hesse-Kassel (28 May 1689 – 8 May 1753)

## **Frédérique-Charlotte de Hesse-Darmstadt**

**Frédérique-Charlotte de Hesse-Darmstadt** was born in the Hessian City of Darmstadt on the 8th of September, 1698, her parents were **Dorothea Charlotte de Brandenburg-Ansbach** and **Ernest Louis de Hesse-Darmstadt**. She married Maximilian of Hesse-Kassel (1689–1753) on the 28th of November 1720 in her home city of Darmstadt.

## **Marriage and Motherhood**

Upon marrying her husband in **1720**, she fell pregnant a year later with their first child. On the **30th of September 1721**, 22 days after her 23rd Birthday, she gave birth to **Prince Karl of Hesse-Kassel**. Prince Karl sadly passed away on the **23rd of November 1722**, only weeks after his first birthday, with the reason behind his death being **mysteriously** undocumented. This put a lot of strain on the emotional family, with sources suggesting that Maximilian of Hesse-Kassel blamed her personally for his death. Not long later however, **Frédérique-Charlotte** gave birth to her second child, a daughter, **Princesse Ulrike-Friederike Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel,** being born on the **31st of October 1722**, and this, supposedly helped restore a feeling of trust, within her marriage.

***Clément-François di Paula de Bavière*** (29th August 1728 - Présent) is a Bavarian prince currently residing at the Prussian court. Born into grandeur and lavishness, Clément-François was a ***Petit-Fils*** and later ***Fils de Bavière*** by birth as the son of prince *Ferdinand-Marie-Innocent*, the brother of Prince-Elector *Charles-Albert I & VII.* Destined from birth to have a life of luxury and comfort, Clément-François was prepared from the moment of his birth to become an influential character in the development of Bavaria as a fully-fledged nation, independent of Habsburg Austria's corruption and strongarming.

Like his younger cousin, *Maximilien III Joseph,* Clément-François received a fine education as the student of some of Bavaria's most renouned scholars, namely a Jesuit monk named *Daniel Stadler* and Baron *Johann Adam von Ickstatt*, a jurist and Dean of the University of Ingolstadt. Stadler would remain in great confidence with much of the Houses of Wittelsbach and Palatinate's members, acting as a confessor and spiritual advisor, whereas Baron Ickstatt proved tactful and diligent, shaping the upbringing of many Bavarian Princes to have an enlightened and worldly outlook about their governance and responsibilities of the Electorate.

The perfect mix between his father's authoritative, martial nature and the beauty and grace of his mother, Clément-François was described by many as being charming, witty and distinctly the bearer of an aururoa of charismatic jubilation. Loyal, diligent and aptly-appointed, Clément-François ensured a legacy at the Prussian court, championing the Bavarian cause and to secure Prussian support in defense of the numerous threats of Austrian invasions. Obtaining the post of a Gentilhomme de la Manche to *Frédéric le Grand,* along with other positions of his own design, his high rank established him as a politically influential member of the court.

Daniel (Yoffe) Itzig [Hebrew: דניאל איציג]

(18th March 1723, Berlin – 17th May 1799, Potsdam) was a German-Jewish banker, *leather manufacturer, iron mill owner, mining tycoon, junker, Hoffaktor* (Court Jew) and *Royal Mintmaster* to the illustrious Friedrich II of Prussia. Appointed by the great monarch as the *Representative of all Jews in Prussia*, Itzig was also the *Elder of all Jewish People of Berlin.*

Together with *Veitel Heine Ephraim* (another Hoffaktor to the Prussian Court), Itzig made his fortune as a mintmaster during the early reign of Friedrich's reign. One of the most successful projects of the two Jewish men was the funding of the Prussian war efforts in the *Seven Years' War.* Itzig was one of the few Jews in Prussia to receive privileges of citizenship apart whole. He became extraordinarily rich accordingly, and would later become a figure in the *Haskalah*, often termed as the *Jewish Enlightenment.*In later life, Itzig began planning a school for poor Jewish boys in Berlin, and in 1778, with his son-in-law *Daniel Friedländer,* he opened the first "free school" (Freischule) called *Hinuch Neorim.*Hebrew for *''Teaching the Young Ones''.* The school and adjacent printing house later became one of the main institutions of the Haskalah movement. At the same time, he founded and funded a *Yeshiva* and brought *Rabbi Hirschel Levin* and *Rabbi Joseph ben Meir Teomim* to Berlin to teach there.

Many of Itzig's thirteen children became influential in German-Jewish society. He is the great-grandfather of the infamous German composer, *Felix Mendelssohn.* Itzig was the official head of the Jewish community of Berlin and Prussia from 1764 until his death in 1799.
Franz Georg von Schönborn

Template:Clerics of Prussia*Prince-Archbishop-Elector* **Franz Georg von Schönborn** (15th June 1682 - présent) was a Prussian cleric, nobleman, statesman, and prestigiously the *Kurfürst-Erzbischof von Trier.* Amongst his other titles was being the presiding *Graf von Schönborn,* *Fürstbischof von Worms,* and *Fürstpropst von Ellwangen.* Born into the illustriously wealthy and influential Schönborn dynasty, Franz Georg had already procured his rank from birth without even knowing it. Like his siblings, he soon rose in rank within the German clergy and had secured his title due to arrangements made by his uncle, Lothar Franz von Schönborn who, at the time, was the *Kurfürst-Erzbischof von Mainz* - a title that his own brother would inherit.

Filled with a great sense of pride, piety and the renowned Prussian chivalry, Franz Georg, like the rest of his family carried the *Schönbornzeit* into Prussia's court during his clerical service. Serving two Kings and watching the realm he called home evolve, he is commonly known at Court for holding both the positions of *Grand Chambellan* and being one of the *Aumôniers du Roi.* Loyal, staunch, and immensely pious, was a prominent statesman during the early reign of Friedrich II. His commitment to welcoming the refugee Huguenots into both Prussia and his diocese was well acclaimed in devout cliques across the Protestant nations in Germany. His devotion to both *Frédéric le Grand* and Prussia followed him to the grave if it didn't unintentionally lead him to it.

## Biography

### ***Birth***

Franz Georg was born in Mainz, the ninth son of the Count of Schönborn and the nephew of Lothar Franz von Schönborn, the Archbishop-Elector of Mainz. Franz Georg's brothers were Johann Philipp Franz, Friedrich Karl, and Hugo Damian, all three important churchmen.

A Royal Year at Court

## **A Royal Year**

Life in the court of Frederick the Greatwas always transitional and vastly changed over the course of his reign. In the western reaches of the Prussian Rhein in the geographical area's of Bavaria, Westphalia, Baden-Württember and the Palatinate; a frightful winter would yield the shivers brought in from the alpine winds of the Swiss Alps which would, in turn, have these area's produce things such as wines, beers, and cheeses for the warmth, and come summertime would grand festivals celebrate the beauty and warmth of the warmer months.

Central Prussia in Brandenburg, Saxony, Pomerania, Etc. had always been remarked as a cold but joyous winter season. So dressing was important when it came to the weather. Summertime in the Prussian heartlands always shined on a bright day or acted stoic in dark and rainy days. Regardless of where one was situated in the Prussian Kingdom; dressing according to the month and weather was important.

## **Dressing for the Seasons**

### **Winter;**

Winter is commonly associated as one of the harshest seasons in the year regardless of where you are in the world. From the heavy snows that fall in a storm; to the frozen rain that might pour in certain areas: Winter is a season to always be prepared for regardless of who you are, where you are and what you do for a living.

Dressing for the winter season is quite an important task. Colours can typically remain the same all year around but in the winter season furs should be adopted with cloaks, coats, thicker gloves and the appropriate hats.

### **Spring;**

Spring has always been a relieving and happy time of the year. As the frosts of winter melt away and trees soon come to life again with the birth of new leaves; one must consider themselves in a question whether they need to change their wardrobe for the coming year. Light, happy and usually joyous colours are always worn.

One should consider consulting their tailor for a change of wardrobe for spring. Be ready! Be prepared! For springtime is a time to show your happiness, and perhaps some love.

### **Summer;**

A Prussian summer is always a happy one regardless of peacetime, wartime or time of political tensions. Your best attires should be worn and showcased. Happy, bright, and fun colours are always advised unless one is mourning a loss.

### **Fall;**

Fall colours should mirror a combination of springtime and summer. The preparation for the coming winter harshness must always be considered in your Fall attire for the investment of furs, cloaks and warm clothes are warranted even though the Imperial Residences of the court are quite warm as they are; it's still viable to have a prepared inventory of the appropriate clothes for traveling or outdoors events.
Voltaire

Portrait of Voltaire c. 1724

**François-Marie Arouet** (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his *nom de plume* **Voltaire,** was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church and Christianity as a whole, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech and separation of church and state. As well, he briefly retained the valued status of dear friendship with Friedrich II of Prussia in the Prussian Court.

Fondly known for having written more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets, he was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma and the French institutions of his day.

Court Fashions

## **Les Modes de la Cour**

The outrageous fashions of the 18th century is one of the first things that pops into people's head when the word "Versailles" or ''France'' comes up. France was the leading lady in fashion; every court strove to copy the lavish styles pouring from Paris, however this would soon prove a fierce rivalry to spark from Prussia, Russia and even Austria. The leaders of each court became notorious for fashion senses and their courtiers became ravishly expectant of new fashion styles at all costs.

## ***Hairstyles & 'Wig' Fashion***

### **Hair - *What's in? What's not? C. Friedrich II's reign***

The rarest and expensive wigs were a pure white, a sign of high and great stature and wealth. As a result, people put white powder on their hair in order to make them look as white as possible. It intensified the blondeness of very fair hair but made darker hair look grey, the shade depending on the natural hair colour. Hair colour was more vital with aristocratic women since wig wearing was not a common practice. Majority of men in the late 17th and throughout the 18th century notably grew their hair, curled it into a favored style and powdered it. *Those with the shortest of hairs, or possibly even bald of course turned to wigs!*

### **Men:**

Blond, Black and Brunet were common for men. *(Most notably the notorious Brunet's of the Hohenzollerns)*

### **Women:**

Brunette, Black, and Blonde were common for Prussian women. *(Most respectively, the styles of Hohenzollern princess's and margravines)*

## Frederick III, Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg

Frederick III

**Frederick III James of Hesse-Homburg** (19th of May, 1673 to 8th of June, 1746) was a Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg. Frederick has been a member of the court for many years and his proved his worth by serving in numerous military campaigns for the Kingdom of Prussia. Frederick was a skilled leader on the battle field and would be promoted through the ranks rapidly during his first several campaigns. He served mainly within Calvary units of the Dutch States until his service was no longer required. He would then assume a government position in Homburg, as well as the position of Grand Equerry for his Majesty. His Calvary skills are likely a result of the Hesse men's passion for hunting. Frederick, accompanying his father on numerous hunting outings as an adolescent and beyond. Frederick was called back into service in 1738, to repay his towering debt. He and his first wife, Elisabeth Dorothea of Hesse-Darmstadt would supply the House of Hesse with numerous sons and daughters. The couple remained happily married, Frederick though with a wandering eye for Christiane Charlotte of Nassau-Ottweiler. Charlotte would become Frederick's second wife following both he and her spouses deaths.

Philippe Gothard de Schaffgotsch

Prince-Bishopric of Breslau

Provost of Kreuzkirche

Abbot of Sandstift, Breslau

Coadjutor to Bishop Philipp Ludwig von Sinzendorf

**Philipp Gotthard Graf** (and from 1744) **Prince von Schaffgotsch** was from 1748 Prince Bishop of Breslau , Imperial Count and an important patron of music.

Schaffgotsch came from the same-named Silesian - Bohemian noble family Schaffgotsch, who lived in the Giant Mountains and the Jizera Mountains. His father was Johann Anton Gotthard von Schaffgotsch (1675–1742) , who married his second wife on July 20, 1710 . His mother Anna Theresia Kolowrat -Nowohradsky (1690–1759). He studied with the Jesuits at the Collegium Romanum in Rome and was ordained a priest in Vienna in 1738. In 1740 he became a canon in Olomouc and in Halberstadt and custodian at the Breslau Cathedral and provost at the Kreuzkirche there. Schaffgotsch was a Freemason and was very impressed by the ideas of the Enlightenment. This is probably why he was the only canon of Breslau to welcome the conquest of Silesia by the Prussian King Friedrich II, who was a close friend of Schaffgotsch. The emergence of Freemasonry in Austria goes back to Schaffgotsch. At his request, the first lodge was founded in Vienna in 1742, although Pope Clement XII. had already condemned Freemasonry in 1738 in the bull *In eminenti .* It was the first Masonic lodge in Austria, but it only lasted for a short time because Maria Theresa had it dissolved in 1743. In 1743 Schaffgotsch was appointed abbot of the Sandstift in Breslau. In 1744, King Friedrich II elevated him to the rank of prince and – against the resistance of the Breslau cathedral chapter – appointed him coadjutor to Bishop Philipp Ludwig von Sinzendorf and, after his death in 1747, prince-bishop . Due to serious misgivings from the Roman Curia about his membership in the Freemasons, Schaffgotsch protested against the Breslau cathedral chapter and declared alliegance to the Protestant Church. In 1756 he appointed his brother Ceslaus Gotthard von Schaffgotsch vicar general. At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, Schaffgotsch declared allegiance to the King and ignored the instructions from the Empress to move his seat to Jaunerig in the Habsburg part of his diocese. After the end of the war in 1763, Schaffgotsch returned to the Austrian part of his diocese regularly. In 1766, Schaffgotsch resided in Johannesberg Castle, which was to remain his residence until his death. From there he led his diocese until his death. During his reign Johannesberg Castle became a meeting place for artists from all over the empire. The palace orchestra under the direction of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf enjoyed a first-class reputation, but lost importance after Ditters' departure and was dissolved after the bishop's death. Philipp Gotthard Prince Schaffgotsch died at Johannesberg Castle. His body was buried in the family gravesite in Warmbrunn, which belonged to the Prussian part of his diocese.
Christine Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel

* **Princess Christine Charlotte de Hesse-Cassel** (11 February 1725 – 4 June 1782) was a Hessian princess who lived as a secular canoness before becoming a coadjutor princess-abbess of Herford Abbey.

Friedrich Ludwig von Westfalen-Köln

Herzog von Köln

Friedrich Ludwig von Westfalen-Köln

**Friedrich Ludwig August Clemens von Westfalen-Köln** (9th June 1720-Present) is a Prussian nobleman and the current Duke of Cologne. Born with future precedence at a young age, Friedrich Ludwig as he became known as, was part of the illustrious and newly-changed Haus von Westphalen-Köln.

Born to the Margrave of Coesfeld, Friedrich Ludwig was immediately elevated at birth, to a Duke in the circumstances that he'd be the successor of his uncle, *Maximilian Friedrich von Königsegg-Rothenfels* who himself had been in a political concern, due to the War of Austrian Succession.

A courageous soul from boyhood, Friedrich Ludwig would carry his families glory from a young age, enlisting to the Prussian Army. In 1738, he was sent to join the Freikorps le Noble, where he served as a Fusilier until 1740. It was then that he then enlisted to the Garde du Corps - the mounted bodyguard of Friedrich II. Passing the rigorous training at the Guard Academy in Potsdam, Kadett Westfalen-Köln earned his plumed tricorn and cuirass in 1741. It was from that moment onwards, that he had been a strong supporter of the Prussian campaigns against the Holy Roman Empire, and had earn merits for his wonderous actions. Quick to raise a sabre against the enemy of his König and Vaterland, and stab a bayonet into the body of a spiteful foe, Friedrich Ludwig was known for a portly presence in the army, and one of graceful swiftness at court. Well educated, well-dressed, and certainly, of old money, Friedrich Ludwig secured both favour and fame alike.

Despite being the middle child, Frederick inherited his father's title due to him being the only male issue of his parents.

When Frederick took his father's place it increasingly became apparent to himself that he had no idea what he was doing; this was a factor of his father and his father's ministers keeping Frederick excluded from the government's affaires. Understanding this challenge, Frederick did his best to cope against it; having

**Luise Ulrike von Prueßen** (French: *Louisa Ulrika*) mostly known as Madame Cinquième or a Prinzessin von Prueßen. Luise was born from the famous *Sophie Dorothea von Braun-Schweig-Lüneburg* (née Hannover) and *Friedrich Wilhelm I von Prueßen.* (24th July 1712)

Luise, subsequently went from a "sweet to sour" transition in her mid teens in court. Luise was known to be haughty, arrogant, or "sweet as a bunny" prone to her bouncy moods. Her *dame d'honneur,* remarked, "*She acted circumspect with her daily schedule. On Monday, she read books about plant science. On Tuesday, she showed the urge to bake. On Wednesday, she read books on ancient life. On Thursday, she spent time in the gardens picking flowers. On Friday, she behaved most grumpy."* Very spontaneous, however she can be most sour as lemonade to her ladies. Her father, *Friedrich Wilhelm I* had a grudge against her brother, the future king of Prussia, *Friedrich II's* (Freddy) intellectual interest in learning. Friedrich was pleased about Luise's erudite skills more than her brother since "women weren't as educated as men." It was reported by courtiers that she was her father's favourite daughter for her quick wit and intelligence.

Luise was considered the most beautiful out of all her sisters and one of the most attractive females in court. She had her mother's glowing skin, a true Hanoverian feature, and dainty hands.
