Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vagabond Courtier, Vol. 2: From the Memoirs and Letters of Baron Charles Louis Von Pollnitz Colonel Maurice von Pöllnitz joined Charles at The Hague, and then the brothers left together for Zell, where the younger stayed till the summer. "Then I decided to do the cure at Carlsbad for a second time, not so much for the waters, as to see the society, which is always large and select. This time there was a surprising crowd, and very high-born nobility. I had the honour of paying my respects to the Elector of Treves, and the widowed Margravine of Anspach" (sister-in-law to the Princess of Wales, an artistic, cultured lady, nursing the little principality for her young son, to be known as "The Wild Margrave"), "who were drinking the waters." The renewal of the acquaintanceship of the Margravine, who, with her husband, had been a visitor to her kinsfolk of Prussia, probably inspired Pollnitz to pay a visit to the other little margravate of the Brandenburg-Hohenzollerns, that of Bayreuth. George William was reigning there with his notorious wife, Sophia, a Princess of Weissenfels. Of all the little Courts in Germany, that of Bayreuth was then the most voluptuous, and visitors from all parts flocked to its pleasures. In his youth the Margrave had soldiered with some distinction in the Emperor´s service against the French, fighting at Blenheim. On succeeding his father, some ten years before, he had become bitten with the prevalent mania for building royal residences, and embarked on a career of pomp and circumstance.
