I doubt that any Prussian monarch of the Ancien Régime enjoyed such a negative image in posterity as King Frederick I, who reigned from 1701 to 1713. He was considered "high-handed", "wasteful" and had more "a sense for appearances than for the essence of power". This biography, based on the evaluation of archival sources, shows that Frederick, whose self-coronation marked the beginning of the establishment of the Prussian kingdom, set his own course, for example in the broad field of court culture, in religious policy, in Prussia's relations with the European states and as a sovereign.
