As a result, the Prussian army occupied Hanover and the Hanoverian army surrendered on 29 June 1866, the King and royal family having fled to Austria.The Prussian government formally annexed Hanover on 20 September, but the deposed King never renounced his rights to the throne or acknowledged Prussia's actions. From exile in Gmunden, Austria, George V appealed in vain for the European great powers to intervene on behalf of Hanover.
