Courtly Dinnerings and Pensions for the Bride of St George
The Register records a lavish reception for the bride of the Chevalier de St George with fifty two bearers delivering a regale of refreshments and a gift of forty basins plus a picture of the Pretender. Cardinal Acqua gia and Cardinal Gualtieri offer further gifts including a 20000 pistoles bill from the King of Spain. The Pope grants an audience, a coronation feast, and directs pension payments to the bride. A Naples convention with Byng, Daun, Fontana, and Breille orders Sardinia’s troops evacuations and concerted action with the Imperialists for future events in Sicily and Sardinia.
