Abstract

The French and Spanish courts were two of the most powerful cultural and political institutions in seventeenth-century Europe. Both rivals and allies, the French and Spanish crowns were bound by disputes and diplomacy. This anthology examines the Gallic and Iberian court systems from a comparative approach, filling an important lacuna in early modern political studies and diplomatic history. It is based on the proceedings of a seminar held at the Casa de Velazquez, Madrid in June 2010. Edited by Daniel Aznar, Guillaume Hanotin and Niels F. May, A la place du roi. Vice-rois, gouverneurs et ambassadeurs dans les monarchies francaise et espanole (XVIe-XVIIIe siecles) unites ten essays by leading scholars of seventeenth-century French and Spanish history.
