Excerpt from Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated December 23, 1654/January 2, 1655 (Old Style)

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 394, published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844


The letter excerpt:

Den 23. Decbr. "Landgreve Fritz lod i disse Dage dandse et Balet hos Feltmarskalk Wrangel, som var kaldt les inclinations de la Reyne Christina; dog blev Titelen ikke trykt. ..."

With modernised spelling:

Den 23. december. "Landgreve Fritz lod i disse dage danse et ballet hos feldtmarskalk Wrangel, som var kaldt Les inclinations de la reine Christine; dog blev titelen ikke trykt. ..."

English translation (my own):

December 23. "Landgrave Fritz had a ballet danced these days at Field Marshal Wrangel's house, which was called Les inclinations de la reine Christine; however, the title was not printed. ..."
