I was under the impression that his body had been found and was under the floor boards in Sophias reception room at the house where she was imprisoned.

Sophia von Celle

Tried to correct the spelling from "Zelle" to "Celle", but being unable to correct the link, too, changed it back again. Someone knowing better what to do should perhaps take care of that. KapHorn (talk) 12:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read that he was buried under the great hall in the Leine Palace. Apparently, he was murdered by four guards and the Countess of Platen, the elector of Hanover's mistress. Realizing the severity of what they had done, the elector ordered his body to be buried under the floorboards and to fake ignorance of the count's whereabouts. On her deathbed, the Countess of Platen confessed her complicity in this matter. Decades later, workers in the great hall uncovered a skeleton covered in quicklime wearing a ring bearing the the Konigsmarck coat of arms.

Love letters

The article on Sophia reads "Today the authenticity of the letters has been established beyond any doubt." But the article on Philip states "It is not absolutely certain that Sophia Dorothea was guilty of a criminal intrigue with Königsmarck, as it is probable that the letters which purport to have passed between the pair are forgeries."

So, which is it? I don't have access to the sources, but the two articles should agree one way or the other. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks. History Lunatic (talk) 18:03, 9 October 2021 (UTC)History Lunatic[reply]
