View full profile →

Frederick II of Prussia (1712–1786), known as Frederick the Great, was a Prussian king, military commander, and intellectual who reigned from 1740 to 1786. He was a central figure of the Enlightenment, a prolific writer, composer, and patron of the arts, who modernized Prussia through legal reforms, religious tolerance, and administrative efficiency. His military campaigns expanded Prussian territory, but he is equally remembered for his philosophical dialogues with Voltaire and his treatise 'Anti-Machiavel.'
