Imperial Succession Crisis for Elizabeth in P
From Amsterdam and Petersbourg records dated November with reports on imperial regency, pensions and court arrangements. The Duke of Courland is urged to accept a 300000 rubles pension to support regency while troop levels at 180000 rising to 200000 if needed. Letters describe Empress’s illness, succession debates favoring Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Anne’s discontent. Talks mention Seckendorff Neuperg promotions and military decrees amid European tensions.
