Summary of Peder Vibe's letter to Christoffer Urne, the Grand Chancellor of Denmark, and the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated April 16/26 (Old Style), 1653

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 1, pages 95 to 96, published by Anders Fryxell, 1836



The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] 16 April 1653. Stor discussion vid hofvet. — Moderation mot Danmark. — Italiensk comedi på Jakobsdal långfredagsafton. — Ulfeld vill åter till Danmark. — Alla bref böra härefter på begge sidor brännas.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 16 april 1653. Stor diskussion vid hovet. — Moderation mot Danmark. — Italiensk komedi på Jakobsdal långfredagsafton. — Ulfeldt vill åter till Danmark. — Alla brev böra härefter på bägge sidor brännas.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, April 16, 1653. Great discussion at court. — Moderation toward Denmark. — Italian comedy at Jakobsdal on Good Friday evening. — Ulfeldt wants to return to Denmark. — All letters should hereafter be burned on both sides.

Note: Jakobsdal is the old name for Ulriksdal Castle.
