About this book
The Electress Sophia and the Hanoverian succession is presented as a revised and enlarged edition. The Count of Cartignano arrives in England to negotiate a double marriage, but James refuses that scheme while seeming willing to approve his daughter's marriage to the Prince of Piedmont.
The account of hospitality describes everyone being welcomed at Hanover and Herrenhausen and a tact that put visitors at ease. The discussion of Sophia Charlotte's marriage says that her public profession of the Reformed faith shortly before her marriage presented no religious difficulty, since her mother had always favoured that faith without actually professing it.
