Mediation Envoys Move on Behalf of Europe in 1693
In the month of Saugatk 1693 Lunenburg reports daily haul of hay oats and bread while Mi-Hop the Pensionary of Amsterdam is named Envoy Extraordinary. The mission, from Their Highnesses to the Danish king, departed the 13th with Lord Lexington and arrived at Harsborough the 10th, after audience with the King of Denmark and discussions on peace. A series of trials follow including sentences against Senior Dort and Roberts de Pille du Pigpis for treasonable correspondence with France, banishments, and confiscations. Elsewhere, a British levy sent a detachment from Luxemburgh and the Duke of Wirrenberre is chosen to replace the Count of Seibes as Lieutenant General of the States’ Foot.
