    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • What Distinguished France in the Seventeenth Century?
    What distinguished France in the seventeenth century? • France had a population of 19 million – Double that of Spain and triple that of England • French art, architecture, and fashion were widely copied throughout Europe – Louis XIV was a strong patron of the arts and sciences, establishing royal academies for arts and sciences • He favored classicism and its order, harmony and hierarchy • Salons organized by upper-class women – Meeting grounds for the artistes, writers, philosophers, and social critics – Became enduring features of Parisian life. How absolute was French absolutism? Why did the French people accept it? • Absolutism was limited at first – Localism in economic and political life and traditions – Institutions like the parlements, which were courts of law with the right to decree royal decrees unconstitutional • Feudal liberties became associated with disorder – Aristocratic rebellions like the Fronde created instability in the sixteenth century • In practice, absolutism meant that the king, although not legally bound by other institutions or persons, was dependent on a host of advisors and had to compromise with local traditions and vested interests. • The Fronde was a rebellion in 1648 against the monarchy (regent Cardinal Mazarin) – Led by the parlements and the nobility (who will do the same in 1789) – Asked for the calling of the Estates General – Accompanied by a great deal of violence both in Paris and in the countryside – Ultimately, the bourgeoisie and the parlements withdrew their support from the raucous nobles who had invited in Spanish troops, and the populace as a whole welcomed a strong monarchy. • In 1661, Louis XIV,age 23, announced he would rule on his own – Without a chief advisor or dependency on the nobility.

  • The Dutch Republic and Spain in the First
    DIECIOCHO 32.2 (Fall 2009) 1 MERCHANTS AND OBSERVERS. THE DUTCH REPUBLIC’S COMMERCIAL INTERESTS IN SPAIN AND THE MERCHANT COMMUNITY IN CADIZ IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.1 ANA CRESPO SOLANA CSIC (Madrid) Introduction Around 1720, the Dutch merchant colony in Cadiz succeeded in restoring trade with Amsterdam after several crisis periods. At the end of the 17th century and during the Spanish War of Succession, Dutch-Spanish trade went into a period of recession, although only in relative terms. Trade in general, just like everything else as far as the United Provinces were concerned, was affected by this ‘decline’ (Achteruitgang), as once described by Jonathan Israel or even by Jan de Vries himself. Holland stepped off the aggressive international scenario but continued its fruitful growth in the cultural and economic fields (Israel 378-395). The signs of such decline vary depending on the different sectors of Dutch foreign trade. To the minds of the merchants in the Maritime Provinces trading with vast overseas regions and for those that received their consignments at various European port-towns, Dutch trade and shipping was the mainstay of the economy of the countries where they had spread their commercial networks. One of those countries was Spain, especially the areas of influence of various ports in Andalusia, the Mediterranean and the northern coast. With regard to trade with France and even with England, the Dutch lost ground in financial terms, although their role as capital and financial marine services (freights, insurance), exporters as well as manufacture providers and re-exporters of colonial produce and certain raw materials, did not diminish.

Taylor Professor Ignacio Navarrete Fall 2013 Abstract The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain by Michael Andrew Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Previous studies on politics and history writing in early modern Europe have focused on how early modern monarchs commissioned official royal histories that served to glorify the crown and its achievements. These works discuss the careers of royal historians and their importance at court, and examine how the early modern crown controlled history writing. In the case of Spain, scholars have argued that Spanish monarchs, particularly Philip II, strictly controlled the production of history writing by censoring texts, destroying and seizing manuscripts, and at times restricting history writing to authorized historians. Modern scholars have largely avoided analyzing the historical studies themselves, and have ignored histories written by non-royal historians. My dissertation broadens the discussion by examining a variety of histories written by royal historians and authors from outside of the court, including clerics, bureaucrats, and military officers, motivated to write histories by their concern over Spain’s recent imperial policies and campaigns.

The Historical Journal, page of © Cambridge University Press doi:./SX FRANÇOIS-PAUL DE LISOLA AND ENGLISH OPPOSITION TO LOUIS XIV* MARK GOLDIE Churchill College, University of Cambridge AND CHARLES-ÉDOUARD LEVILLAIN University of Paris ABSTRACT. Between the Restoration in and the Revolution in the English public abandoned its century-long animus against Spain and began to identify France as its chief enemy. Historians often hold that the most significant intervention in shifting the balance of public opinion was the Dutch-inspired pamphlet, England’s appeal from the private cabal at Whitehall (), written by the Huguenot Pierre du Moulin. It is argued here that an immensely influential earlier intervention was made by François-Paul de Lisola, in his Buckler of state and justice (), which, at a critical juncture, presented a rhetorically powerful body of arguments about the nature of the European state system.
