Early Modern Diplomacy

@histodons @historikerinnen @earlymodern

The TravArt project did not only focus on gift-giving between #emdiplomats, but took a much wider approach discussing different processes of exchange between the different lines of the Habsburg dynasty. What objects were asked for and sent, e.g. from Madrid to Vienna? How did they define taste in the discussions of these objects?
To give you an example: Christopher Laferl from Salzburg University asked what kinds of gifts were exchanged between the brothers Emperor Charles V, the later Ferdinand I and their sister Mary of Hungary? Their letters are full of references to special foods, furs, jewelry, paintings or horses, that obtained for each other. (4/7)

Secondly, luxury good and food played an important part as gifts in #emdiplomacy. Gift-giving was an essential part of symbolic communication that helped establish and maintain relationships, but also express status and hierarchies. Giving and receiving gifts was expected, although there could be a fine line between gift-giving and supposed bribery.
If you want to know more about it, we can recommend the #handbook article by Mark Häberlein (for its introduction on this channel you have to be patient a bit longer).

Of course #emdiplomats and #emdiplomacysSources played an important part in these discussions. Firstly, they often acted as cultural brokers, as they collected and obtained special objects, delicacies and other luxury goods for their rulers. For our #handbook Elisabeth Natour talked about the relationship between art and diplomacy and the role of #emdiplomats as cultural brokers. (2/7)
