NOTE

¹ Sophia has often, but erroneously, been asserted to have been mistress of King George I of Great Britain and Ireland: in fact, she was his half-sister. Court ‘observers’ were apparently unable to fathom that George I would have a woman among his intimates without being intimate with her. According to vol. 14 of the ''Complete Peerage'': “The stories that Sophia Charlotte was mistress of George I were demolished in Ragnild Hatton, ''George I, Elector and King'', 1879, pp. 23-4, 134-5.”
