Early Modern Diplomacy

@historikerinnen @histodons

Our 2024 #emdiplomacy #AdventCalendar offered some glimpses into different #emdiplomats careers by introducing different diplomatic actors.
The #handbook takes a different approach by offering some generalizations. Our authors Sven Externbrink and Magnus Ferber take a closer look on the career paths of #emdiplomats as well as their social, national and educational backgrounds which suggest that the group of offical diplomatic actors in this age appears to be quite homogeneous.

hcommons.socialEarly Modern Diplomacy (@emdiplomacy@hcommons.social)Attached: 1 image #emdiplomat of the day: Carl Gyllenborg (1679-1746) You think #emdiplomacy is boring? Then you don’t know Carl Gyllenborg’s life; it reads like a spy novel, although it began quite ordinary for a Swedish diplomat. Gyllenborg was born as the son of the Swedish politician Count Jacob Gyllenborg. He studied law, latin and history at the university of Uppsala, before he joined the army and fought in the Great Northern War. This is already interesting, as the connection between military experience and expertise and #emdiplomacy is an aspect that needs more attention from research.

Day 23, so close to the end! I shall miss my tea surprises. Today is Pumping Pomegranate.

Apple, hibiscus, rosehip, elderberry, "flavouring", pomegranate seeds.

Bag smells sweetly of apple, with some berry undertones. Strongly scented, and a tempting aroma.

Tea smells of apple mostly, but with berry in there.

Flavour is delicious! Lots of apple, but hibiscus, elderberry and pomegranate are there too, working hard. It's sweet, fragrant, light, refreshing. Big fan of this one.

Proper strong too, none of your feeble tisanes here.

An individually wrapped tea bag in a square packet sitting in a square hole in an advent calendar. The packet is a rich red, with painterly stripes of light red and pink at the edges. Text reads T 2 Pumping Pomegranate. Flavoured fruit tisane in a bag.
