That is, of course, as long as you didn't also try to usurp the crown, undermine the aristocracy, and agitate the commoners while you were at it. - Such was the course that ended the rise of Johann Friedrich Struensee on this date in 1772. His friend and sometime cohort Enevold Brandt was put on the block on the same day.'
