Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History, Vol. 33: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time; Compiled From Original Authors The Protestants of Bohemia, had offered their crown to the Elector Palatine, who was married to the daughter of James I. of Great Britain, whose grandmother, as we have seen, was a princess of the house of Mecklenburg. Frederic, the count Palatine, was rash enough to accept the proffered royalty, not doubting of being effectually supported by his father-in-law and the Protestant interest in Germany: how he was disappointed in both, may be seen in former parts of this history. It is sufficient here to say, that he was utterly defeated at Weissenburg by the imperialists, and forced to fly towards Silesia; and afterwards, with all his adherents, he was put to the ban of the empire. As to his dominions, they were partitioned out by the emperor to the two princes of the empire who had been the most instrumental in his defeat, the duke of Bavaria and the elector of Saxony. From Silesia the elector Palatine was obliged to fly to Denmark, where he met with a most affectionate reception from king Christiern IV. and a confederacy was entered into by the protestant princes, the duke of Mecklenburg, among others, to restore him to his electoral dominions. Before they proceeded to force, his Danish majesty, in imitation of what king James had done, tried the success of negotiation, and sent a most magnificent embassy to Vienna, remonstrating upon the irregularity of having put the elector Palatine to the ban of the empire, and exhorting the emperor to restore him to his dominions. This application proving ineffectual, though the elector Palatine offered to make all the submission and satisfaction that could reasonably be required of him, the confederate powers resolved to take the field, and Christiern was chosen for their captain-general. He had some pretence for taking upon him this title, because he was one of the principal members of the circle of Lower Saxony, which was, at this time, desolated by the imperial forces under count Tilly. About this time, Adolphus Frederic of Mecklenburg, married for his second wife Mary Catharine, daughter of Ernest, duke of Brunswick; and his brother John Albert took for his third wife Leonora Mary, daughter to Christiern, prince of Anhalt Dernburgh.
