Note 25 — AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF LEONORA CHRISTINA 1673.
F. E. (Fanny Elizabeth) Bunnett translation
In order to understand how she could wait for ten days at Apenrade, it must be borne in mind that the duchy of Slesvig was at that time divided into several parts, of which some belonged to the King, others to the Duke of Gottorp. Haderslev and Flensborg belonged to the King, but Apenrade to the Duke; in this town, therefore, she was safe from the pursuit of the Danish authorities.
