At Klosterzeven in Lower Saxony, the British forces under the
Duke of Cumberland surrender to Richelieu, the new French
commander, and give up Hanover and Brunswick to French occupation.
When Cumberland returns to Britain, he is disgraced by his father
George II, who replaces him with Ferdinand of Brunswick and refuses
to ratify the Convention of Klosterzeven.
