NOTES: The King's lifestyle was austere and his preferred residence was Sans Souci, a secluded mansion. Although married, he lived as a bachelor and ladies were seldom seen at his court, which was the occasion of some scandal. He preferred to speak and write in French. No issue, succeeded by his nephew. Frederick was extremely sympathetic to the American Revolution and was an admirer of George Washington. He was one of the first sovereigns to conclude a commercial treaty with the U.S. His rule was absolute; he was a ubiquitous administrator constantly checking the work of his officials, from whom he exacted the utmost in conscientiousness.
