Hans Hermann von Katte
Hans Hermann von Katte (February 28 1704 – November 6 1730) was a close friend of Frederick II of Prussia who was executed by Frederick's father Frederick William I of Prussia when they plotted to escape from the Kingdom of Prussia to the Kingdom of Great Britain. It is believed by some that the two were lovers and were fleeing to Great Britain where they would defect to the service of George II of Great Britain and possibly return to Prussia to depose Frederick William.
