“Knowing that he [Leopold I, King of the Belgians] was dying, he asked that his body be taken to England and buried in Windsor with his first wife [Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales] and their son... His ministers, however, would not allow it.  He was King of the Belgians.  He must be buried among his people.  But they could only control his earthly remains.  Gathered around the bed in accordance with tradition to witness the last moments of their king, they must have known that his heart and mind were in England, when they heard him whisper as life left him, "Charlotte... Charlotte.”

- from Charlotte and Leopold: The True Story of the Original People’s Princess by James Chambers.

🇩🇪 Leibniz House (Leibnizhaus) in Hannover, Germany - a vintage photochrom print from the 1890s. Digitally enhanced.

The original Leibniz House was built in 1499. It was later named after the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who had lived there until his death in 1716. That house was destroyed during WWII, but a replica was built at another location in 1983.

"Ferguson" Breech-Loading Rifle from Aberdeen, Scotland dated to 1776 on display at the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

These rifles were invented by Lieut-Colonel Patrick Ferguson of Pitfour, Aberdeenshire. Ferguson's improved quick thread breech-loading rifle was an improvement on an earlier invention. He served as a subaltern in the Royal North British Dargoons (Scots Greys) from 1759 to 1762. Ferguson was killed in South Carolina at the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War.
