Description

Folios 154-155. Proposals from the Imperial Court to the King. The Emperor, seeing the dangers which arise against the common cause, suggests that these dangers may be lessened by disarming the Bishop of Munster. He therefore has a plan, how, by the aid of the King, the States General and the Elector of Brandenburg, this may be done. The plan is disclosed, and the King's opinion on it asked; when this is known, should it be favourable, the Count of Windisgratz will put it in train at the Hague and the Baron de Fridag [Franz Heinrich Frydag?] with the Elector of Brandenburg. The Catholic princes may take umbrage, and the Emperor therefore wishes for assurances from the King and the two other powers that they will do nothing against the Catholic religion, and that troops will not stay in the diocese of Munster longer than the Emperor desires; that they may be commanded by a general, whom he will send there; and that two or three Spanish regiments may be joined to them.
