Summary of Peder Vibe's letter to Christoffer Urne, the Grand Chancellor of Denmark, and the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated August 12/22 (Old Style), 1653

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 1, pages 97 to 98, published by Anders Fryxell, 1836



The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] 12 Aug. 1653. Om riddareorden här är stiftad. — Pimentellis afresa. — Bön: (Beuningen?) har intet hopp om den allmänna alliansen. — Drottningen vill resignera; hennes miner öfver Tromps seger mot England.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 12 augusti 1653. Om riddareorden här är stiftad. — Pimentellis avresa. — Bøn: (Beuningen?) har intet hopp om den allmänna alliansen. — Drottningen vill resignera; hennes miner över Tromps seger mot England.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, August 12, 1653. If the order of knighthood is established here. — Pimentel's departure. — Bøn: (Beuningen?) has no hope of the general alliance. — The Queen wants to resign; her expression on Tromp's victory against England.
