A substantial portion of Voltaire's unfinished memoirs is taken up by descriptions of the private life of Frederick II of Prussia, at whose court Voltaire had lived for two years, from 1750 to 1752, until they had a falling out. In these memoirs, Voltaire speaks frankly about Frederick's homosexuality, though in a gossipy tone that suggests that many of the details have been embroidered. Voltaire did not intend to publish these memoirs, but the manuscript was stolen and published after his death.
