Excerpt from Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated November 29/December 9 (Old Style), 1651

Source:

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 315, published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844


The letter excerpt:

Dronningen haver lovet Hertugen af Croye 40,000 Rdlr. for sin Afsnit (?) af Pommern, efterdi hans Fru Moder er den sidste af den Pommerske Linie.

With modernised spelling:

Dronningen haver lovet hertugen af Croÿ 40.000 rigsdaler for sin afsnit af Pommern, efterdi hans frue moder er den sidste af den pommerske linje.

English translation (my own):

The Queen has promised the Duke of Croÿ 40,000 riksdalers for his section of Pomerania, since his Lady Mother is the last of the Pomeranian line.
