Weather and royal succession notes from Paris to Vienna
A dated dispatch from Paris reports waters receding after flood damage across the region and ships arriving in Nantes. The piece then details Ferdinand I’s will and a Codicil, arguing succession to Hungary and Bohemia should pass to his eldest daughter Anne, married into Bavaria, with careful legal reasoning about male and female lines and the implications for the Austrian Netherlands. The argument centers on primogeniture, the rights of heirs, and the effects of the marriage contract on succession.
