Imperial Peace Preliminaries Spark Dutch Succession Debate
Reports from Europe describe ongoing preliminaries of a general peace and a proposed succession in the Palatinate region. Princes of Bavaria and Sultzbach scheme a marriage alliance while the Dutch Republic fears a revival of the Ostend Company and loss of sovereignty. Lisbon trade ships bring gold and gems, and Paris finances post office lending amid shifting alliances. War councils in Vienna and Berlin discuss troop levies and supports, with Prussia and Austria signaling readiness to augment forces. Spain moves troops toward Italy as Franco-Spanish diplomacy hunts a broader settlement.
