#emdiplomat of day: Esaias Pufendorf (1628-1689)

You may know the famous #philosopher Samuel #Pufendorf, but have you ever heard of his older brother?

The German born Esaias Pufendorf served the rivalling kings of #Denmark and #Sweden as a #diplomat. His case illustrates that a post as #emdiplomat did not depend on nationality but loyalty. (1/5)

@emdiplomacy@hcommons.social @histodons@a.gup.pe @earlymodern@a.gup.pe @historikerinnen@a.gup.pe Excellent! It is a shame that Pufendorg is not taught in schools! But we'll get there, eventually!
