This document, which was formally presented to the King before the adjournment of the assembly, represented the infamous "pillaging, insults, and disorders" daily exercised by the foreign soldiery; stating that the burthen had become intolerable, and that the inhabitants of Marienburg, and of many other large towns and villages had absolutely abandoned their homes rather than remain any longer exposed to such insolence and oppression.
A feeling which he had never known seemed to rise up in his heart, and, bending his head, he wept bitterly. The cloister, Marienburg, lay in a valley at some distance from the castles, and there Angela found peace. A wall was soon built up between the two forts Sternberg and Liebenstein, a silent witness of the enmity between the two brothers.
After his triumph at Azof, he sent orders that the Tsaritsa must not be at the palace upon his return, and soon thereafter she was separated from her child Alexis, placed in a monastery, and finally divorced. At the surrender of Marienburg in Livonia there was among the captives the family of a Lutheran pastor named Glück.
The character of this lady, the wonderful and romantic incidents of her life, and the great fame of her exploits, have made her one of the most celebrated personages of history. We can, however, here only give a brief account of that portion of her life which was connected with the history of Peter. Catharine was born in a little village near the town of Marienburg, in Livonia.
Having heard this, Zbyszko turned and motioned to the stranger to come nearer to him. "Did you come from Marienburg?" said he "Yes, sir." "But are you a German? You speak our language very well. What is your name?"

Here, Cambray and Antwerp cry for redress; there, Thionville and Marienburg lie waste; and, surely, thou hast not bestowed upon us peace that our cities should become deserts, as they necessarily must if thou freest them not from these destroyers? Perhaps then art anxious to guard against surprise from our neighbors?
Now it happened that these occurrences took place not very long after the war broke out between Sweden and Russia, and almost immediately after Catharine's marriage some writers say on the very same day of the wedding, and others on the day following a Russian army came suddenly up to Marienburg, took possession of the town, and made a great many of the inhabitants prisoners.
March realized, more and more passionately, that they were in the very most central and convenient point, for the history of Wurzburg might be said to have begun with her prince-bishops, whose rule had begun in the twelfth century, and who had built, on a forgotten Roman work, the fortress of the Marienburg on that vineyarded hill over against the Swan Inn.
Their first interview was a scene of violent altercation; it occurred at Marienburg, where the emperor had just arrived, and in his presence. Davoust expressed himself harshly, and even went so far as to accuse Berthier of incapacity or treachery.
