Note 186 — V THE HEIRESS OF GREAT BRITAIN (HERRENHAUSEN, 1701-1714) (continued 2)

This appears to have been the Countess Johanna von der Lippe-Bückeburg, who, on being divorced from her husband, was besieged by him in her residence at Stadthagen near Bückeburg, from which he thought himself entitled to expel her. She appears to have been a welcome visitor at Herrenhausen, where she told the story of this siege ‘fort joliment.’
