Friedrich Wilhelm III

Japanese: フリードリヒ・ウィルヘルム[3世](英語表記)Friedrich Wilhelm III
Friedrich Wilhelm III
1770‐1840
King of Prussia. Reigned 1797-1840. Son of King II. Lacking in initiative, he always followed cautious conservatism as his guiding principle. He endorsed the spirit of the new era in the Prussian reforms and the War of Liberation, but he did not understand it, and although he repeatedly promised to promulgate a constitution, he never did so. After the Congress of Vienna, he suppressed the movement for freedom and unification as a follower of the Holy Alliance. [Sakai Eihachiro]

プロイセン王。在位1797‐1840年。同2世の子。性格は積極性に欠け,つねに慎重な保守主義を指針とした。プロイセン改革や解放戦争に当たっては新時代の精神を追認したが,それを理解したわけではなく,幾度も憲法発布を約束しながら実行しなかった。ウィーン会議後は〈神聖同盟〉の信奉者として自由と統一の運動を弾圧している。【坂井 栄八郎】
