Full textDid the pre-absolutist monarchs of the first half of the 17th century have the diplomatic apparatus corresponding to their policy and aligned with their ambitions – in other words, did they have the means to their ends? Or did they rather determine their policy based on their diplomatic apparatus? The main objective of this thesis is to examine and deepen our knowledge of the relations between France and England from the death of Henry IV in 1610 until the year 1642, marked by the death of Richelieu and the outbreak of revolution and civil war in Britain. The study of this period – a period which may both seem familiar while also remaining little studied and generally perceived through the prism of the novels of Alexandre Dumas – is not intended to be a simple chronological and event-based account of French-English political-diplomatic interactions, but ambitions to analyze both the state of the administrative structures of the diplomatic apparatus of these two pre-absolutist states and the sociology of its diplomatic actors, aiming to understand how they influenced the course of political events between the two crowns. Thus, this study aims to highlight the major feature of diplomacy in early modernity as it emerges from the study of Franco-English relations: with diplomacy still poorly structured on the administrative level and therefore lagging behind in the “modernization” of the modern pre-absolutist State instruments, it is the tool of an already intense but protean foreign policy, which builds on several channels not yet exclusive of one another, but nevertheless follows codes and very precise protocols, for which every detail is invested with political undertones. From this perspective, diplomacy can thus be seen as a set of rituals, a political “choreography” but in which paradoxically, the gestures were imposed with great precision without however being entrusted to a structured administrative apparatus. In the absence of the latter, the role of the ambassador is even more central in Franco-English Baroque diplomacy, performing the acts like the artists in a ballet or a theatrical play. In this regard, this thesis also aims to propose a socio-professional study of leading official diplomatic personnel in order to identify the composition of the diplomatic pool from which the monarchies drew in order to find candidates, to understand how future ambassadors prepared for a possible exercise of functions abroad, and to shed light on the reasons for the recruitment and choice of a particular person. What is more, this study – comparative by its inherent nature – will allow us to raise the question of the professionalization of diplomatic activity, which was at unequal levels in France and England but unfinished everywhere. Furthermore – and corresponding to an additional feature that this work aims to highlight – ambassadors did not have a monopoly on diplomatic relations. We will rather show that these relations were also the work of a multitude of other actors – not very articulated – of all ranks and kind, who flourished on both sides of the Channel, carrying out both official and unofficial missions and playing, in increasing numbers, a game in the interactions between the two crowns. Finally, in line with the elements outlined above, we will propose a renewed understanding of certain major political and strategic movements of the years 1610-1642 in light of our study of the political-diplomatic apparatus structure, based in particular on the analysis of diplomatic correspondence and private writings of the actors. Drawing on these sources, from both English and French archives as well as from powerful outside actors such as Venice, allows us to go beyond national prisms in our analysis and understanding of events, prisms whose influence nevertheless remains significant throughout the period that interests us

Full textThis book analyzes the way French statesmen, diplomats, jurists and historians thought about the Holy Roman Empire during the period that extends from the peace congress of Westphalia to the Renversement des alliances (1643–1756). The main subject of the study is their knowledge of German public law. It pays particular attention to translations as a source of historical knowledge, given that the French versions of German fundamental laws and of the international treaties signed in Latin by France and the Emperor can be used like a seismograph showing the translators’ interpretation of the German constitution. The study also analyzes French books and memorandums on German law and history, demonstrating that the French foreign policy towards Germany was an application of an already acquired constitutional knowledge as well as a source of new knowledge. Furthermore, it pays attention to the role of Alsace in the process of the transfer of knowledge and, from the point of view of an entangled history, to the way in which Germans themselves judged French knowledge of German public law. In the course of the study, it becomes clear that the French notion of the Empire, for all its heterogeneity and complexity (which historiography has neglected so far), appropriately referred to the Empire as a federal state combining monarchical and aristocratic elements. Thus the French authors developed a terminology which could properly describe the institutions and functions of the Empire’s constitution, thereby contributing to the rise of French as a diplomatic language. In this process the Alsatians and the Germans living in France played a leading role as cultural mediators

Full textThe purpose of this study is to focus on one of the major roles of a King in the 17th century : to restore the peace. The main idea is that peace, in the foreign affairs, was as major part of King's duty as was war. To illustrate this, a close analysis was performed of the various attempts of peace negotiation between France and Spain, that lasted all along the war, up to the Treaty of the Pyrenees (November 7, 1659). The first part of the document, which is basically a detailed chronology, aims to give a continuous and unified view of the of the negotiation events, in the prospective of the final peace. A large use of the French and Spanish sources allows to emphasize several previously lessened aspects of this long efforts toward peace. The second part consists of special studies on selected topics : the complexity of the antagonism between France and Spain; the reluctance in Spain to make peace in spite of the perception of a deep crisis of the monarchy; the practice of negotiation as seen from the various attempts of peace, the peace in the reality and in the mentalities of the first half of the 17th century. Each of these studies contributes to enlighten an aspect of the role of the King as a peace maker

Full textIn 1631, Mary de’ Médici (1573-1642), queen mother of the French king, opposed to Richelieu’s government, precipitately leaves the kingdom to find shelter at the court of Brussels. Until her death in 1642, she never succeeds, in spite of many attempts, to be allowed to come back to France. She lives in the Spanish Netherlands from 1631 to 1639. Then, after a short passage through the United Provinces, she stays in London until 1641, to move out again to Cologne, where she finally dies. Whereas the Thirty Years War tears Europe to pieces, Mary de’ Médici weaves bonds not only with foreign princes, but also with other French banned emigrants, such as Gaston of Orleans or the duchess of Chevreuse. The study of this outstanding situation reveals official or secret networks, which are built up and undone around those emigrants. The making and good working of those networks are ensured by a pool of ambassadors, courtiers, servants, who have various profiles and follow different purposes. By rebuilding the individual stories of these men, we can disclose the organic logic of this complex and moving party, in which the news arise and flow. We try to provide an analysis from the point of view of the material support and routing of information, but also according to its content, which may vary following the peculiar circumstances and political issues. The circulation and changes of the news affect the diplomatic deeds in a way that must be investigated and explained. Moreover, information, as a mirror of political thoughts, is reflecting codes, symbols, representations and behaviors. Therefore, the setting and showing of information can be seen as a significant matter for political studies

Full textAt the beginning of the 18th century, Hungary and the Southern Netherlands are coveted by the French diplomacy. Those peripheral provinces of The Habsburg Empire oppose the centralization policy lead by Madrid and Vienna. In order to realize his dynastic ambitions, Louis XIV uses this context to destabilize these territories during the War of the Spanish Succession triggered by the death of the last Habsburg King of Spain, Charles II, the first November 1700. Louis XIV mobilizes his army and his ambassadors in the continuity of the foreign alliances « Alliance de revers » that have been conducted during centuries. The marquis des Alleurs and the president Pierre Rouillé de Marbeuf, agents of Louis XIV, half spy, half ambassadors, are respectively send in Hungary nearby the rebel prince François Rakoczi and in the Southern Netherlands nearby the general governor of the province and Elector of Bavaria, Maximilien-Emmanuel de Wittelsbach. Far from the din of the battlefield of the Spanish Succession, another war hardens. The battle for information’s became the first preoccupation of European courts. The confidentiality of the epistolary correspondences is a crucial object of attention. The purpose of this study is to define the framework of the French ambitions in Hungary and the Southern Netherlands at the beginning of the 18th century. The « alliance de revers » and military moves during the War of the Spanish Succession replace those two European countries at the heart of dynastic, diplomatic and military conflicts opposing the Bourbon’s and the Habsburg’s for European hegemony
