The Constitution of the Kingdom of Holland of 1806 (Art. 23) assigned the regency to the Queen during the minority of the king. Accordingly, the royal proclamation and decree of 1 Jul 1810, announcing the abdication of Lodewijk Napoleon and accession of Napoleon Lodewijk, confirmed Queen Hortense (original name: Hortense-Eugénie-Cécile de Beauharnais) in her office, but she never took it being absent from the kingdom. The Provisional Council of Regency established by the same proclamation and decree was constituted in Amsterdam 3 Jul 1810 and governed in the absence of the Queen until the arrival of Lieutenant-General of the Emperor to Amsterdam on 14 Jul 1810. |
