Ceremony of Oath and Gates Opened in St Michael's Gate
The Watchers Dowager and accompanying figures received the City Keys from Count Stampa after the oath ceremony. Possession was transferred by the Grand Duke's envoy, gates opened, bridges lowered, and local militia took control of St Michael's Gate and other ports as imperial troops withdrew. Count Stampa departed the city next day amid castle artillery salutes.
