Excerpt summary of Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated June 11/21 (Old Style), 1653

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, pages 350 to 351, published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844
The letter summary excerpt:

Den 11te Jun. ... [Pimentelli er tilbagekaldt af sin Konge, "hvorover Courtisanerne her til Hove ere glade." Man frygtede, at han vilde have givet sig i Dronningens Tieneste.] ...

With modernised spelling:

Den 11. juni. ... [Pimentelli er tilbagekaldt af sin konge, "hvorover kurtisanerne her til hove ere glade." Man frygtede, at han ville have givet sig i dronningens tjeneste.] ...

English translation (my own):

June 11. ... [Pimentel is recalled by his King, "about which the courtesans here at court are glad." It was feared that he would have given himself into the Queen's service.] ...
