Contention Over Royal Succession In 1717 Dispute
Louis Henry de Bourbon and Louis Armand de Bourbon sign a London letter arguing the 1714 Edict and 1715 Declaration cannot be interpreted to allow legitimated princes to claim succession or royal honors. They urge revocation of those acts and insist that succession remains bound to lawful marriage and the Crown's legal customs. The note mentions the Venetian ambassador's departure and a Welch Fusiliers drill at Hyde Park.
