His cavalcade numbered four thousand.

William of Orange had arrived, accompanied by one thousand mounted men.

The whole troop now entered the city together, escorting the Prince to the town-house.

Here he dismounted, and was received on the staircase by the Princess Anna, attended by her ladies.

She immediately afterwards withdrew to her apartments.
It was at this point, between 4 and 5 P.M., that the Elector and Electress, with the bride and bridegroom, accompanied also by the Dame Sophia von Miltitz and the Councillors Hans von Ponika and Ubrich Woltersdorff upon one side, and by Count John of Nassau and Heinrich von Wiltberg upon the other, as witnesses, appeared before Wolf Seidel, notary, in a corner room of the upper story of the town-house.
