Early Modern DiplomacyHis project on Swedish <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/consuls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consuls</a> points to something that seems to be a characteristic of Scandinavian <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a>: the very close connection between <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomatic</a> activities and (maritime) <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trade</a> interests, commercial <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> in other words. Permanent <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/embassies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embassies</a> in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Scandinavia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scandinavia</a> developed relatively slowly. It was not before the 1600s that <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/resident" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resident</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomats</a> became a feature of Scandinavian <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a>. We know much more about the foreign <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/envoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#envoys</a> in the North than about Scandinavian diplomats at foreign places. Writing about <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlymodern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlymodern</a> Danish and Swedish <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> is not easy, as Scandinavia seems to be a blind spot in the historiography on <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlymodern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlymodern</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> and for <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NewDiplomaticHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewDiplomaticHistory</a>. But Martin manages to cover a wide time span from the end of the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MiddleAges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiddleAges</a> to the 18th century.

Early Modern DiplomacyAs Almbjär is an expert on 18th century Swedish <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/consuls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consuls</a> in Spanish port towns, it does not come as a surprise that he contributes with his expertise on the development of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/earlymodern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlymodern</a> Scandinavian <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diplomacy</a> for the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a> handbook. He thus presents the first ever comprehensive summary of the development of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a> in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Scandinavia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scandinavia</a> (4/5) <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07075332.2024.2345241" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07075332.2024.2345241</a><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histodon</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NewDiplomaticHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewDiplomaticHistory</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/historikerinnen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@historikerinnen</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/earlymodern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@earlymodern</a>

Infrapink (he/his/him)See, declaring a <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LeapYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LeapYear</a> was actually the decision of the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/PontifexMaximus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PontifexMaximus</a>, which was an elected political position. If Pontifices Maximi would routinely declare a leap year if they liked the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/consuls" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#consuls</a>, and refuse to declare one if they disapproved, in order to prolong or contract the administrations of various consuls according to their own preferences and ambitions.Plus, since a <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LeapYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LeapYear</a> wasn't declared until late, outlying parts of the empire wouldn't know until months later.
