Back in 2024, we dug deep into the life of Maria Theresa and during that time we kept finding one guy who she was at odds with every step of the way. Frederick the Great.

We expected him to be a horrible guy when we started this Patreon 2023 episode. But instead we found a really nuanced, gay, dog loving guy...who also totally loved war. We hope you enjoy this patreon vault episode!
