Marriage and politics ripple through Europe in April letters
An April dispatch from Vienna notes King Stanislaus sending a felicitation to the Emperor on the marriage of the Aschdutcher with the Duke of Lorraine. It hints the Emperor may grant the Duke the title of King of Poland and Great Duke of Lithuania. Reports describe Bohemian unrest and Russian troop movements homeward as Spain’s court intrigues unfold. Parliamentarian moves at home include a Lancashire by election, a Marlborough memorial finished, and various court appointments as royal ceremonies and social changes shape daily life.
