Excerpt from summary of Peder Vibe's letter to Christoffer Urne, the Grand Chancellor of Denmark, and the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated November 24/December 4 (Old Style), 1649

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 1, page 88, published by Anders Fryxell, 1836
The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] 24 Nov. 1649. ... M. G. De la Gardie har fått ordres resa till Liffland. — ... Hertig Karl Gustaf arbetar genom M. G. De la Gardie på giftermål med Kristina.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 24 november 1649. ... Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie har fått ordres resa till Livland. — ... Hertig Karl Gustav arbetar genom Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie på giftermål med Kristina.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, November 24, 1649. ... Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie has received orders to travel to Livonia. — ... Duke Karl Gustav is working through Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie on a marriage with Kristina.


Above: Kristina.

Above: Christoffer Urne.
