Hiiiii! Do you know Fritz's full titles by the end of his reign? As in like "Frederick , King of Prussia, Prince of this and that and duke of this and thatetc etc"? Thank you!

Hi! I've been looking through my books and didn't really find a proper list. I could have sworn I had one, but apparently I was mistaken. So then I was considering looking for official documents that would have used the title but couldn't really find the right one either.

What I knew for sure beforehand was "Frederick, King of Prussia, Margrave of Brandenburg, Elector and Arch-Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Empire", because those are the important ones that are always listed, and "Duke of Magdeburg" because I've worked with documents from Magdeburg before. Then there was the whole thing with Silesia and Glatz, and that Prince of Orange title that I wasn't sure he ever got officially, something about Jülich and Berg that his dad was already pissed about, terribly complicated bullshit-

But luckily Frederick's flute teacher Quantz wrote a book about flute playing in 1752 and dedicated it to Frederick, providing a neat little list that is quoted on the Wikipedia page of the titles of the German Emperor post 1873 (not the best source, but I'll take what I can get):

"Allerdurchlauchtigsten Großmächtigsten Fürsten und Herrn, Herrn Friederich, Könige in Preußen; Markgrafen zu Brandenburg; Des heiligen Römischen Reichs Erzkämmerern und Churfürsten; Souverainen und Obersten Herzoge von Schlesien; Souverainen Prinzen von Oranien, Neufchatel und Valengin, wie auch der Grafschaft Glaz; in Geldern, zu Magdeburg, Cleve, Jülich, Berg, Stettin, Pommern, der Cassuben und Wenden, zu Mecklenburg, auch zu Crossen Herzoge; Burggrafen zu Nürnberg; Fürsten zu Halberstadt, Minden, Camin, Wenden, Schwerin, Ratzeburg, Ostfriesland und Moeurs; Grafen zu Hohenzollern, Ruppin, der Mark, Ravensberg, Hohenstein, Tecklenburg, Lingen, Schwerin, Bühren und Lehrdam; Herrn zu Ravenstein, der Lande Rostock, Stargard, Lauenburg, Bütow, Arlay und Breda"

20 years later, the title would change from "König in Preußen" to "König von Preußen", but other than that the list should remain unchanged. So overall we have:

King of Prussia

Margrave of Brandenburg

Arch-Chamberlain and Elector of the HRE

Duke of Silesia

Prince of Orange

Prince of Neuchatel

Prince of Valengin

Prince of the County of Glatz

Duke of Geldern

Duke of Magdeburg

Duke of Cleve

Duke of Jülich

Duke of Berg

Duke of Stettin

Duke of Pommerania

Duke of Kashubia

Duke of Wenden

Duke of Mecklenburg

Duke of Crossen

Burgrave of Nuremberg (that's a super old Hohenzollern title, pre-Brandenburg)

Prince of Halberstadt

Prince of Minden

Prince of Camin

Prince of Wenden (again?)

Prince of Schwerin

Prince of Ratzeburg

Prince of East-Frisia

Prince of Moers

Count of Hohenzollern

Count of Ruppin

Count of the Mark

Count of Ravensberg

Count of Hohenstein

Count of Tecklenburg

Count of Lingen

Count of Schwerin (again)

Count of Bühren

Count of Lehrdam

Lord of Ravenstein

Lord of Rostock

Lord of Stargard

Lord of Lauenburg

Lord of Bütow

Lord of Arlay

Lord of Breda
