Source Notes
Sy Scholfield forwarded news report from "Amsterdamse courant," 14 September 1677, p. 2: "Koppenhage den 7 September. Defen namiddagh omtrent 3 uuren is haer Majefteits de Koninginne gelucklijck van een jonge Princes in de kraem gekomen , Waer over men al de Klocken 2 uuren heeft geluyt , en het canon op de wallen 3 mael geloft. De Herpaucken en Trompetten laeten haer op het Slot noch luftigh hooren."
(Copenhagen, 7 September: This afternoon at about 3 o'clock, Her Majesty the Queen happily gave birth to a young princess).
Amsterdam was then on the Julian calendar, so 7 September (NS) would be 28 August (OS) on the Gregorian calendar then operating in Denmark.
