Excerpt from Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated October 4/14 (Old Style), 1651

Bidrag til Dronning Christinas, det svenske Hofs og Corfitz Ulfeldts Historie, i Aarene 1651-1655, af Peder Juul's utrykte Breve til Charisius, article by Christian Molbech in Historisk tidsskrift, volume 5, page 313, published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844


The letter excerpt:

Dronningen menes nu vist at ville resignere Regimentet til Hs. K. Høihed. Rigsraadet arbeider stærkt derimod, og vil hende derfra raade; men hun bliver hart ved sin Mening.

With modernised spelling:

Dronningen menes nu vist at ville resignere regimentet til Hans Kongelige Højhed. Rigsrådet arbejder stærkt derimod, og vil hende derfra råde; men hun bliver hart ved sin mening.

English translation (my own):

The Queen is now thought to want to resigned the reign to His Royal Highness. The Council of the Realm is working hard against this, and wants to advise her against it; but she remains hard in her opinion.
