Freidrich Wilhelm of Prussia was offered the crown of Germany, but he turned it down, stating that he would not "accept the crown from the gutter". By that he meant that he could not accept the crown in the way it was offered, and instead wished to be elected in the traditional manner, by princes. He believed that Germany was not as glorious a kingdom as it had been and should be, and thus refused to rule it.
