The Heir, the Spare, and the Bishops
At the close of the sixteenth century, Archduke Charles of Inner Austria determined that only his eldest son was to succeed him. Barring his younger sons from rule was a break with the Habsburg tradition of partible inheritance and would prove to be an important step towards the introduction of primogeniture. How did the Austrian Habsburgs deal with this change in succession practice? This contribution focuses on the socialization of the three yo…

Monarchy Transformed
This volume is the result of two conferences held in Rotterdam in 2008 and 2011. Both were part of Robert von Friedeburg’s project ‘Reason of State or Reason of Princes—the New Monarchy and its Enemies’. The volume, edited by Robert von Friedeburg and John Morrill, presents a final reckoning with an outdated Rankean state formation narrative and has the ambition to present a new synthesis. The main bête noire is the so-called ‘New monarchy’ which…
Dynasty and State Building in the Spanish Habsburg Monarchy
The Spanish Habsburg Monarchy was a composite state that needed several individuals of royal blood other than the ruler to govern its constituent parts. Since the dynasty was one of few central institutions, the participation of relatives in rule can be seen as part of state building at an imperial level. This essay analyzes the increasing involvement of relatives and thus the “patrimonialization” of dynastic rule in the seventeenth century. We f…
The Miracles of Spain
This essay deals with rules and attitudes towards the Spanish succession crisis from 1580 to the extinction of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty in 1700. It argues that apart from succession laws, which were set down in the legal texts of the many different realms under Habsburg authority, attitudes and expectations created implicit rules for the succession. These attitudes and expectations have been distilled by analyzing testaments, representation o…
Safavid Cousins on the Verge of Extinction
The Bahrāmī Safavids, a relatively unknown collateral branch of the Safavid dynasty, active in Iran from 1517 to 1593, played a crucial role in dynastic developments in Safavid Iran. This essay examines the dynastic developments of the Safavid rulers and their contemporaries to argue that they embarked on a process of dynastic centralization, presenting themselves increasingly as the only holder of dynastic power, at the expense of their male rel…

The Conquistador and the Phoenix
The hierarchical ordering of diplomats, and of the princes they represented, was a hallmark of early-modern diplomacy and caused endless conflicts. France and Spain in particular argued continuously over precedence, both claiming to outrank the other. Rather than reconstructing specific squabbles over ceremonial or offering general explanations for precedence issues in early-modern diplomacy, this article focuses on the reasons why both the Frenc…

Being Nassau
William I of Nassau, Prince of Orange, and his sons Maurice and Frederick Henry were seen in their own time as the protectors of the new Dutch nation. As such, they play a significant role in the formation of a Dutch national identity. This essay addresses the question in what measure this sentiment was returned: did the Nassaus feel Dutch? An analysis of dynastic arguments used in the Apology (1581) will be compared with two genealogies dated 15…
Family Matters
The Habsburgs and the Nassaus, who collaborated during the reign of Charles V, clashed sharply during the reign of Philip II: William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, became the leader of the Dutch Revolt. Instead of focusing on religious and political matters in the Netherlands, this article examines the underlying development of both men's dynastic identity to explain this new hostility. I argue that Habsburg family affairs — the division of the dy…
