Dutchess Parma pregnancy vanishes sparks regency plan
The Daily Courant reports that the Dutchess Henrietta of Parma’s pregnancy has vanished prompting orders to General Stampa to seize Parma and Placentia in the Emperor’s name and to set a regency council led by the First Dutchess Dowager of Parma until Don Carlos arrives, with ministers in Madrid and London informed. Reports also note uprisings by villagers in Saltzburg’s archbishopric, calls for martial help, and imperial decrees on Embden, indemnifications, and dyet meetings as various European powers discuss amnesty and military matters.
