Great Facts I Can't Use

I'm writing a game on 1771, but the following fact appears in The Annotated Table of Universal Chronology, a beautifully preserved book I got for cheap on eBay (the embossing of the Royal United Service Institution Library is perfectly preserved on the title page, for instance).

Anyway, here is the fact, presented without elaboration.  Next year, I'll do 1772 and we'll undoubtedly use this fact, so take note:

Caroline Matilda, Queen of Christian VII, of Denmark, arrested on a charge of incontinence, and afterward banished from the kingdom.
