History Of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. II. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER I
6/14

The Father of whatever good has since been in Germany.

He subdued his DUKES, Schwaben, Baiern (Swabia, Bavaria) and others, who were getting too HEREDITARY, and inclined to disobedience.
He managed to get back Lorraine; made TRUCE with the Hungarians, who were excessively invasive at that time.

Truce with the Hungarians; and then, having gathered strength, made dreadful beating of them; two beatings,--one to each half, for the invasive Savagery had split itself, for better chance of plunder; first beating was at Sondershausen, second was at Merseburg, Year 933;--which settled them considerably.

Another beating from Henry's son, and they never came back.

Beat Wends, before this,--'Brannibor through frozen bogs' five years ago.
