Synopsis
This book recounts the intricate diplomatic negotiations undertaken by King George V of Hanover and his advisors during the aftermath of Prussia's annexation of Hanover in 1866. As Prussia sought to absorb the kingdom, the negotiations centered on securing a financial settlement for the deposed king and his family while safeguarding the substantial dynastic wealth of the House of Guelph. The author provides a detailed examination of the complex legal and political issues involved in the negotiations, which were further complicated by King George's continued claims to the Hanoverian throne and his support for resistance against Prussian rule. Through extensive use of primary sources, including diplomatic correspondence and private letters, the book sheds light on the strategies employed by both sides and the personal dynamics that shaped the outcome. The negotiations ultimately resulted in a compromise that established a financial settlement for King George while preserving the bulk of the Guelph family fortune under a trust arrangement. However, the settlement fell short of securing King George's political ambitions, and he remained an outspoken critic of Prussian rule until his death. This book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of the political and legal challenges faced by deposed monarchs and the intricate web of diplomatic negotiations that shaped the course of European history in the 19th century.
