Frederick William (German: Friedrich Wilhelm; 16 February 1620 - 29 April 1688) was Elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia, thus ruler of Brandenburg-Prussia, from 1640 until his death in 1688.
A member of the House of Hohenzollern, he is popularly known as "the Great Elector" (der Große Kurfürst) because of his military and political achievements. Frederick William was a staunch pillar of the Calvinist faith, associated with the rising commercial class. He saw the importance of trade and promoted it vigorously. His shrewd domestic reforms gave Prussia a strong position in the post-Westphalian political order of north-central Europe, setting Prussia up for elevation from duchy to kingdom, achieved under his son and successor.
In terms of foreign policy, he laid the foundations for Brandenburg's rise to become a major European power in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 and secured sovereignty over Prussia in the Peace of Oliva in 1660. His victory over the Swedes at the Battle of Fehrbellin on 18 June / 28 June 1675 earned him the nickname Great Elector. In terms of domestic policy, Frederick William implemented comprehensive reforms and built up a standing army.
