The unfortunate King George the Fifth of Hanover also took refuge in the castle after being defeated by the Prussions in 1866, and it was here that the so-called Guelph Legion was organised and station led in France, which led to the con- fiscation of the property of the Cuelph family by Bismark.
The ex-Duke Saxe Altenburg has devoted himself, since the Revolu tien tu geientific research work, but he no longer has the means with which to live in his castle, although it was currently reported that he could do so and keep up the castle on £300 per annum.
The castle is to be sold to the highest bidder for the satisfaction of the ex-Duke's creditors.
