Thompson and David Widger "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 02" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the life and reign of Frederick II of Prussia, exploring the events surrounding his rule as well as the historical context of Brandenburg and the Hohenzollern family. Carlyle offers both vivid descriptions and detailed narratives that reveal the complexities of the period, highlighting significant figures and developments that shaped Prussia's history. The opening of this volume introduces the historical setting, focusing on the early history of the Brandenburg region prior to the ascendance of the Hohenzollern family. Carlyle discusses the ancient landscape and its inhabitants, notably the Suevic Germans and Slavic Wends, detailing significant moments such as Henry the Fowler's conquest of a Wendish fortress, Brannibor, in 928. This conquest is depicted as the foundation of Brandenburg's history, setting the stage for the political and cultural developments that would follow under the Hohenzollern lineage and Frederick II's eventual reign. Through meticulous examination, Carlyle paints a rich tapestry of history filled with battles, territorial disputes, and the struggle for Christianization within the region.
