I expected to find spirited praise for Frederick II of Prussia (a.k.a. Frederick the Great). I recall Antonia Fraser's comment that among all European monarchs from medieval times to the present, he is the only one who would possibly be remembered today had he been born to non-royal circumstances (she did not count Oliver Cromwell as a monarch).
