Memoir of Emperor Russia and King of Prussia Bond
The late Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia are linked by a long friendship begun when the King ruled Holstein. The Great Duke showed rare gratitude for Prussia’s aid in the Seven Years War, notably in the retreat of Marechal Apraxia and the pressure on General Sewald. The Prince avoided council participation to disagree with measures against Prussia, while the King maintained cordial personal ties beyond standard politics, praising Peter's virtuous exception to formalities.
