An Imperial Court Note on Admirals and Lords in 1705
The document records late November 1705 appointments by Queen Anne in Council naming Thomas Earl of Pembroke as Lord High Admiral and Thomas Earl of Wharton as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It lists sworn Privy Council members and a formal address from the City of London lamenting Prince George of Denmark’s death, with war updates from Bethlehem and Berne on military movements and sieges across Europe.
