Plague and Royal Illness Amid European News
The royal illness in August 1786 and multiple bleedings in the Queen are chronicled as physicians struggle to control the fever aided by laudanum and Jesuit’s bark. Auguaria Johanna, a Baden daughter, dies after medical complications and sacramental rites. Reports cover British Dutch protests, papal admonitions, and Admiral Wager’s naval movements near Petersburg while European courts maneuver and royal dowries and marriages are noted.
