Audience at Versailles and Dutchess of Berry reception
The Duke of Berry and Orleans receive Prince Charles of Lorraine in Versailles with the French and Swiss Guards in full muster. Ceremonial pages include the Marquis de Dreux and Sieur des Granges, with 100 Swiss guards at the stairs as ambassadors enter the Bed Chamber. The event notes two dinner tables for 60 covers and departure by royal coach to the Ambassador’s Hall. Meanwhile in Europe, Danish forces march to invest Wismar, with Muscovites and other contingents, and plenipotentiaries shift at Utrecht amid French withdrawal and talks of a Luxembourg neutral treaty.
