i j j The Duke of Savoy inclined to the side of the French and Spaniards , and, for a subsidy, agreed to furnish troops . for the defence of Milan: a proposition if or the marriage of his second daughter to the King of Spain, doubtless, much influenced his action ; and, toward the close of the year, he took the chief command of the French and Span- ish troops, in Italy. The future action of the powerful Elector of Branden- burg, son of the great Elector, was looked forward to with much interest.... He had recently proclaimed himself as King of Prussia. In his proclamation he states, " Since Providence has willed that the Duchy of Prussia be raised into a kingdom, and that her sovereign, the most serene and most powerful Prince Frederic, become its king, this is now made known to all, by this Proclamation." This proclamation was publicly made throughout Prus- sia in January, 1701 : and the promise of the Emperor to recognize the new king was a controlling argument deter- mining the latter to take sides against France.
