War News From the North and Court Notes in May 1716
Letters from Norway report Danish and Swedish armies close in the kingdom with Danes encamped between Morfé and Fredericksstadt while Swedes invest the area. The Swedish fleet retreat to Carlfrona as Commodore Schindel sails to fetch home flotilla from Pomerania. Sir Donald Macdonald and kin surrender to Cadogan but drift toward North Quest. Glenlyon escapes and Gordon of Glen-Bucket arrives with Huntley’s men. London notices mention treason cases, a possible regency, and public sermons, with stock quotes and pamphlet concerns, and an array of advertisements on midwifery, husbandry, and a missing parrot reward.
