For such a reunion with Schleswig a favorable opportunity appeared, when Gerhard was killed in an expedition against the Ditmarshers, leaving behind three sons in minority. Elizabeth, Gerhard's widow, fled to Margaret for succor against her violent brother-in-law, Bishop Henry of Osnabrueck.

Well, the invasion of Schleswig is impending, and then an identic note is sent to Vienna and Berlin in these terms: Her Majesty's Government having been informed that the Governments of
