FOOTNOTES
[Footnote 1]: By some authors it is stated that Craven was not at this time at the electoral court; but of course the chronicle which we copy is the better authority.
[Footnote 2]: By some historians he is called Baron de Dohna.
[Footnote 3]: Some letters, from a person who pretended to be an eyewitness, state that Frederic accompanied the Queen and the rest of the court from Heidelberg to Amberg, in a train of eighteen carriages; but it is beyond all doubt that he, and the gentlemen who accompanied him, rode the whole way. The King himself performed the journey to Altdorf, near two hundred miles, on one horse; there the poor beast fell dead, and the stuffed skin was to be seen for many years in the library of that place.
[Footnote 4]: This last secret visit of Frederic to Heidelberg is now I fancy placed beyond doubt.
[Footnote 5]: This is fact, not romance.
