Abstract
This work examines the experience of exiled royal and noble dynasties during the early modern period through a study of the rulers of the Electorate of the Palatinate during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). By drawing on a wide range of archival source materials, ranging from financial records, printed manifestos, and considerable quantities of diplomatic and personal correspondence, the book investigates the resources available to the exiled ‘Palatine Family’ as well as their attempts to recover the lands and titles lost by Elector Frederick V—the son-in-law of King James VI and I of Scotland and England—in the opening stages of the Thirty Years’ War. This work focuses on the years between Frederick’s death in 1632 and the partial restoration of his son Charles Louis under the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Although the ‘Palatine Question’ remained one of the most divisive and important issues throughout the entire Thirty Years’ War, the years 1632–1648 have been greatly overlooked in previous examinations of the Palatine Family’s exile. By studying the experiences of exiled elites in early modern Europe—such as the relationship between the Palatine Family and the Stuart Dynasty—this work will reveal the influence of dynastic and familial obligations on the high politics of the period, as well as the importance of conspicuous display and diplomatic recognition for exiled regimes in seventeenth-century Europe. The work will demonstrate that dispossessed rulers and houses were not automatically rendered politically insignificant after losing their lands and titles, and could actually remain an important player on the geopolitical stage of early modern Europe.
