Papal tensions and militia moves amid English marching forces
From Brussels a letter to a Jesuit exiled in the provinces reveals Vatican expectations about the Scotland expedition and a potential rebuke of the Republic. In London the Duke of Marlborough’s arrival prompts troop movements while Edinburgh prison counts rise. Sir John Leake and others gain promotions as executions and trials proceed. A public sale notice for Sir Hans Hamilton’s estate and related notices follow, including inn for sale at the Naas and a lost silver snuff box reward.
