In 1696, Joachim Pritzbuer, who was replaced in 1705 by Martin Balthasar von Waldersee, was appointed Vilhelm's chamberlain. The latter was to accompany the prince on his great voyage abroad to Utrecht, the Spanish Netherlands, France, Italy and England. The instructions for Waldersee and the prince's secretary and teacher Johan Ernst Carlowitz are dated October 2, but soon after, Vilhelm fell ill and died on November 23 at Copenhagen Castle.[1]

gollark: I mean, "put in too much cooling" doesn't really make the problem of "how do I put in enough cooling" easier.
gollark: How do you actually design anything efficient for the stupidly hot fuels?
gollark: I've only been doing serious reactor design for a few hours, but I dislike this.
