King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. A brilliant military campaigner who, in a series of diplomatic stratagems and wars against Austria and other powers, greatly enlarged Prussia's territories and made Prussia the foremost military power in Europe.

An enlightened absolute monarch, he favored French language and art and built a French Rococo palace, San Souci, near Berlin. Highly admired by Napoleon Bonaparte.
