Excerpt from Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated September 27/October 7 (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 synes endnu stærkt at være udi den Mening at ville resignere; og lader det Huus, som hun kiøbte af Feltherren til sin Fru Moder, meublere, ligesom til at boe der; dog holdes det endnu hemmeligt, og er ingen communiceret uden Rigens Raad.

With modernised spelling:

Dronningen synes endnu stærkt at være udi den mening at ville resignere, og lader det hus, som hun købte af feltherren til sin fru moder, møblere, ligesom til at bo der; dog holdes det endnu hemmeligt, og er ingen kommuniceret uden Rigens Råd.

English translation (my own):

The Queen still seems strongly in the opinion of wanting to resign; and she lets the house, which she bought from the Field Marshal to her Lady Mother, be furnished, as if to live there; however, it is still kept secret, and is not communicated to anyone outside the Council of the Realm.


Above: Kristina.

Note: The Field Marshal = Jakob de la Gardie.
