Duke Returns to Lutheran Faith Amid Royal Catholic Pressure
A Saxon prince who had turned Roman Catholic and pledged to retain his Polish ties reverts to Lutheranism. He resumes communion in the Pegan parish church after expressing sorrow, orders two Romish priests expelled, and a Te Deum with trumpets signals his re-conversion, amid broader European intrigue and shifting alliances. The report notes Saxon troops, Polish Diet tensions, and diplomatic movements in Hamburg, Copenhagen, and Paris as counterparts react to new religious and political alignments.
