#emdiplomat of the day: Anton Meuting (ca. 1524-1591)
With the evolvement of #NewDiplomaticHistory more (social) and professional groups were considered as diplomatic actors than just nobles and councillors, among these “new” groups were merchants like Anton Meuting. (1/6)

Throughout his life, Meuting was not restricted to one profession. He was merchant, cultural mediator and #emdiplomat. His several roles existed simultaneously, overlapped and sometimes competed with each other.
