Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 29v. To Blathwayt. The Danish envoy Haxthausen (see f.28 ante) talks 'confidently' of peace as though his King had already been accepted as mediator, and even mentioned Aix-la-Chapelle as conference venue and the treaty of 1668 as 'groundwork' for the new peace. But he, Stepney, discouraged his expectations: neither the Netherlands nor Spain would now put up with similarly harsh conditions imposed upon them at that time. [Hans] Hess, envoy of the elector of Mainz, has made the compliment of condolence, not without complaining about the behaviour of Saxon troops in their winter quarters in some parts of the electorate [of Mainz]. Gives details of proceedings against the 'generalin' [Neidschütz], the mother of the late countess Rochlitz, suspected of the practice of witchcraft and application of 'sympathetic drogues which have been used to keep the elector firme to her daughter' and having promoted bigamy. The quarrel between Friesen and Löbell is 'as good as made up'.
