Execution of Struenfee and Brandt in Copenhagen
An 18th century report from Copenhagen describes the execution of Counts Struenfee and Brandt. Struenfee embezzled nearly six tons of gold from the King’s treasury and expedited cabinet orders without the King’s knowledge while committing crimes including criminal conversation and withholding letters. Brandt aided Struenfee’s crimes and allegedly attacked the King. The scaffold will remain for a month, suggesting further state prisoners may die. Colonels Falconskield and Heffelberg are moved to the citadel apartments once used by Struuensee and Brandt.
