Dynasty and Diplomacy in the Court of Savoy: Political Culture and the Thirty Years' WarCambridge University Press, 19 jul 2007 - 320 pagina's History has been unkind to Savoy during the Thirty Years' War, viewing it typically as a powerless puppet of Richelieu and Olivares. By contrast, this book examines the varied and powerful dynastic aspirations of the House of Savoy through the career of its leading ambassador, Alessandro Scaglia (1592 1641), raising wider questions about diplomatic service and court culture. Scaglia was a court clan member who used diplomatic service, his expertise in the high arts, and his cosmopolitan network of friends to further Savoy's interests together with those of his family. |
