Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 05" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the complexities surrounding the proposed double marriage between the Prussian and English royal families during the early 18th century, exploring the intricate political machinations and familial relations that influenced these unions. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing key figures such as King George I of Britain and Queen Sophie Dorothee of Prussia, who are integral to the double marriage project. Carlyle outlines the historical context, detailing George I's visit to Berlin and the efforts to formalize the marriage arrangement between his grandson and Sophie Dorothee's children. It highlights the ambitions and anxieties of the parties involved, particularly focusing on the youthful Crown-Prince Friedrich and his sister Wilhelmina, amidst the backdrop of European political turbulence and familial expectations.
