Input: It’s a classic 17th century love story: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy goes missing and is presumed murdered by girl’s royal spouse, who then divorces girl and imprisons her for the rest of her life. So it went with the Swedish count Philip Christoph Königsmarck and German princess Sophia Dorothea of Celle, whose star-crossed romance is widely believed to have been snuffed out by Sophia’s husband, a mean dude who later became King George I of Britain. 
  
 Now, over 322 years after he disappeared from Leineschloss Castle in Hanover, Königsmarck’s body may have finally been recovered. 
  
 The princess’s 29-year-old lover was last seen in July 1694, visiting his mistress at the castle during nocturnal hours; they were plotting to escape her oppressively unhappy marriage and elope later that summer. The details of this scheme, along with the arc of the illicit relationship more broadly, survive on in the 300 love letters that Sophia and Philip exchanged over the course of two years, which are now preserved at Lund University in Sweden. 
  
 A featurette on Sophia and Philip’s letters and the potential discovery of his body. 
  
 Multiple hired hands admitted to killing Philip for this open cuckolding of the future British king, so there’s little doubt about the count’s sad fate. However, some reports suggested his body had been thrown in a river or otherwise disposed of outside the castle grounds. 
  
 This theory was thrown into question on August 11, 2016, when construction workers who were renovating an area of the castle uncovered a human skeleton that many believe to be Sophia’s ill-fated lover. Initial examination has confirmed that the remains are likely centuries old, while researchers from the University of Göttingen are currently working to see if DNA extracted from the bones matches samples from Königsmarck’s living relatives. 
  
 "If it really is the bones of Königsmarck, [it] would be a sensation," Thomas Schwark, director of the Historical Museum of Hanover, told the German newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung.

 Indeed, Philip and Sophia’s love story has been the inspiration for books and films, in large part because so much of it lives on through their passionate letters to each other. Sophia has come off as sympathetic despite her infidelities because George was such a preposterously terrible husband. 
  
 For starters, George was unfaithful to Sophia long before she strayed, and he enjoyed openly spurning her in favor of his main mistress Melusine von der Schulenburg. But beyond his hypocrisy, George had a reputation for being an intolerable and relentless jerk to pretty much everyone he came across, especially his wife, who he frequently physically and verbally assaulted. 
  
 In fact, to get a true measure of George’s scumbaggery, it’s worth noting that his own mother called him “the most pigheaded, stubborn boy who ever lived, who has round his brains such a thick crust that I defy any man or woman ever to discover what is in them,” according to Eleanor Herman’s 2005 history Sex With the Queen. 
  
 Yes, that’s the woman who gave him life summing up his qualities. It should give you a sense of the torment experienced by Sophia in their marriage and some insight into her desperation to bolt for greener romantic pastures. 
  
 But George had other plans. After the hit on Königsmarck was ordered, George had Sophia locked up at Castle Ahlden in Saxony for the remaining 32 years of her life. She was buried first at her place of imprisonment, and then transferred to rest with her parents in Celle where her remains are still located. 
  
 Perhaps if the body recovered from the site of the lovers’ last meeting is determined to be Philip, he will be interred with her for posterity. It would be a satisfying end to this cold case of adultery, deception, and murder that has remained unsolved for over three centuries.

But for centuries, intrigue among blue bloods carried much deadlier consequences. Now, as Alison Smale reports for The New York Times, a skeleton recently unearthed in a German castle could shed light on a 17th-century cold case linked to a then-future monarch. 
  
 Before the rise of United Kingdom's current royal family line, the House of Windsor, and before the House of Hanover, the House of Stuart ruled from 1603 until the line ended in 1714 with the death of its last reigning monarch, Anne Stuart. As she left no living heirs (and much of her family was barred from taking the English throne because they were Catholic), the throne then went to the nearest Protestant relative of the Stuart line: Georg Ludwig, making him King George I of Great Britain. 
  
 Georg was married to his first cousin, Sophia Dorothea of Celle, but Sophia's life was far from a fairytale. Her marriage to George was one of politics, and there was little love lost between the two of them. George humiliated his wife by openly taking mistresses and parading his lover, Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg, about the court. For her part, Sophia fell in love with a Swedish count by the name of Philip Christoph Königsmarck, whom she devised plans to flee her unhappy life and elope with, Becky Ferreira reports for Motherboard. 
  
 Then, in July 1694, Königsmarck vanished without a trace after paying Sophia one last visit. 
  
 The question wasn’t what happened to Sophia’s would-be savior—most people assumed that Georg had caught wind of the affair and had Königsmarck killed for cuckolding him. More curious was what happened to his body afterward. At the time, some reported that Königsmarck’s corpse was tossed into a river, or buried somewhere outside of Leine castle in Niedersachsen, Germany, where that he had visited Sophia in that fateful evening, Ferreira reports. But a recent find by a construction crew renovating that very castle suggests that Königsmarck may have never left at all. 
  
 Back in August, crews working on part of Leine castle uncovered a long-dead skeleton. Early analysis of the remains by researchers at Lund University indicates that the bones are centuries old, which could put them in the running to be Königsmarck’s long-lost body. However, there could be an answer soon—scientists at the university are working on ways to extract DNA samples from the bones in hopes of comparing it with samples from Königsmarck’s living relatives to see if they can make a match, according to a statement. 
  
 "If it really is the bones of Königsmarck, [it] would be a sensation," Thomas Schwark, director of the Historical Museum of Hanover, tells Isabel Christian and Simon Benne in German for the newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung. 
  
 While Königsmarck’s end may have remained a mystery for centuries, Sophia’s is no secret: George I had her essentially imprisoned in Castle Ahlden in Saxony when she was 34 to live out the rest of her life, Ferreira reports. If the recently discovered remains turn out to be Königsmarck's, it would put his story to rest. But the tale of Sophia and Königsmarck will live on—via the hundred of love letters that they wrote each other that have been preserved and can be found today at Lund University. ||||| More than 300 love letters are kept at Lund University. 
  
 “The letters were donated by Pontus de la Gardie, a diligent collector of archive material from Swedish noble families. This is not an extraordinary number of letters as in the 17th century people wrote letters all the time, often several times a day. Also, mail was delivered several times a day”, says Håkan Håkansson, Associate Professor of the History of Ideas and Sciences.

 The 29-year-old count disappeared after a nocturnal visit to Princess Sophia Dorothea, his childhood friend and lover. Unfortunately, she was already married to Georg Ludwig, Prince Elector of Hannover who later became George I, King of England. Sophia Dorotea married Georg Ludwig for political reasons at age 16. This was an unhappy marriage and Georg Ludwig and his parents were cold to Sophia Dorothea. In the summer of 1694, Sophia Dorothea and Philip Königsmarck planned to elope. But their love affair was exposed, probably by a friend of theirs, countess Clara Elisabeth von Platen. The scandal was a fact and Philip Königsmarck disappeared. People suspected that Georg Ludwig had the count murdered, but the body was never found. 
  
 Their letters to each other were sometimes written in cipher. 
  
 “I suppose they needed a secret language to hide all sensitive information. They must have had someone they trusted to deliver the letters. After all, it was an illicit love affair and it ended very badly”, says Håkan Håkansson. 
  
 Sophia Dorothea was sent away and had to spend the rest of her life in exile at the castle of Ahlden in Lüneburg. 
  
 The bones and tissue that were found have been examined by physicians, but the cause of death could not be determined. However, the DNA from the bones can now be compared to DNA of living relatives of Philip Königsmarck. A 300-year old murder mystery may finally be solved. 
  
 The love story between Sophia Dorothea and Philip Königsmarck has been documented in books and films. |||||

Construction workers fixing up a German castle may have stumbled across the remains of a Swedish count murdered more than 322 years ago for romancing the wife of the man who would become King George I of Britain, Motherboard reports. According to Smithsonian Magazine, German prince Georg Ludwig married his first cousin, princess Sophia Dorothea, for political reasons. By all accounts, Georg was a massive jerk, openly sleeping with other women and rubbing his favorite mistress in Sophia's face. Enter Philip Christoph Königsmarck. Philip and Sophia would exchange 300 love letters over the course of their two-year illicit love affair. Until, it is suspected, a friend of theirs ratted them out to Georg, according to a press release. Philip disappeared after a final nighttime visit to Sophia at Georg's castle in 1694. It's assumed Georg had Philip killed—and some of Georg's men admitted to the murder—but the final resting place of Philip's body has been a centuries-long mystery. There were reports it was thrown in a river or buried outside Germany's Leine castle, but it seems it may have been inside all along. A team repairing a section of the castle found a centuries-old skeleton in August. And while the skeleton didn't give any evidence as to a cause of death, researchers are working on extracting DNA from it to compare to Philip's living descendants. A positive match would mean a final chapter in one of history's great doomed love stories. (Another recently discovered skeleton may belong to a teen sacrificed to Zeus.)
