Foreign Diplomatic Representatives to the Stuart Court, 1603-1625

This project arose from an appendix to the principal investigator's PhD, <i>Foreign Diplomatic Representatives to the Court of James VI and I</i>. Over past years historians have provided numerous partial lists, some more comprehensive than others, which relate to specific countries and which demonstrate a certain fascination with the question of diplomacy in the early modern period. However, very little work has been undertaken on the ambassadorial group as whole who came to the Stuart court. This project, therefore, aims to provide information on the diplomatic representatives who were sent by their sovereigns or governing aristocracies to the court of St James in the seventeenth century.<br> <br>
