Know your #emdiplomat!
As we argue in the introduction to our #earlyModern #diplomacy handbook, a #diplomat is not a diplomat is not diplomat.
However, there was a broad variety of #emdiplomats. In the past, research was exclusively concentrating on official diplomats while ignoring informal actors. Since the renewal of diplomatic #history with its actor-centred approach this has changed, bringing to our attention more and more differing groups of actors who could act diplomatically.
This year’s #adventcalendar therefore introduces you to the many #emdiplomacyFaces one can meet when working on early modern diplomacy. Each day until 24 December we will present short #biographies on early modern diplomats.
This is only possible thanks to the work of Marcus Gründlinger, our student assistent, who supported us in preparing the posts of the #emdiplomacyAdventcaldendar!
