| Summary | "Life and Times of Her Majesty Caroline Matilda, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Sir C. F. Lascelles Wraxall is a historical account written in the mid-19th century.

It offers detailed insights into the personal and political challenges faced during her time, capturing the complex dynamics of royalty and governance in 18th-century Europe. The opening of the volume focuses on the trial of Count Brandt, detailing the serious charges against him, including assault on the king and complicity in Struensee's alleged treasonous acts. It emphasizes the gravity of Brandt’s crimes, including an attack on the king entwined with betrayal amid a backdrop of fraught relations within the royal court. The narrative captures the unfolding drama and escalating tensions, foreshadowing a tragic crescendo in the lives of both Brandt and Struensee, while also offering a glimpse into the broader historical context of their actions and the fateful consequences that followed.
