The Letters of Elizabeth of Bohemia 1 The Letters of Elizabeth of Bohemia: How One Woman Changed the Course of 17th Century European Politics To fulfill the requirements of HIS 4970 Senior Thesis History Honors Program Advisor: Dr. Howard Louthan Completed by: Laurel Marzek April 2012 2 Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………..3 Chapter One: From Child to Bride……………………………………….....9 Chapter Two: From Queen to Fugitive…………………………………….21 Chapter Three: From Widow Onward……………………………………..38 Conclusion………………………………………………………………....50 Appendix.………………………………………………………………....52 Bibliography……………………………………………………………....58 3 Introduction The massive stone spires of St. Vitus Cathedral dominated the skyline of Prague as she moved towards the structure, treading over the rich carpets that had been spread on the cobbles of the square. From inside the beautiful Chapel of St. Wenceslas, she listened to the choir sing as her attendants dressed her in coronation robes. She moved to the high altar of the cathedral and her husband Frederick joined her, wearing the crown of his coronation three days prior. The crown of St. Elizabeth was placed on her head and she took the orb and scepter in hand. As she emerged into the sunlight, a cannon salute announced the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia.1 This woman, who improbably rose to become queen of a German kingdom and who many historians simply refer to as Elizabeth of Bohemia, was actually born a Scottish princess by the name of Elizabeth Stuart. As the daughter of James VI of Scotland and James I of England, and later the wife of Frederick V of the Palatinate, Elizabeth spent her life surrounded by powerful men. Elizabeth’s brother, Charles I, succeeded his father on the English throne and her grandson, George I, became the first Hanoverian king, the dynasty that still rules the island kingdom. She was courted by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and Phillip III of Spain and lived for many years at the court of the Prince of Orange in Holland. Due to the strong male personalities in Elizabeth’s life, many historians have simply ignored Elizabeth as a figure worthy of scholarly research and deny that she had a measurable impact on history. For those scholars who do acknowledge Elizabeth, one common interpretation of her life is to present Elizabeth as a victim of events and as an individual who deferentially 1 For a full description of the coronation of Elizabeth see Mercurius Gallo-Belgicus, 1619, 97-104 as cited in M.A. Everett Green, Elizabeth: Electress Palatine and Queen of Bohemia (London: Methuen and Co., 1909), 141; Rosalind K. Marshall, The Winter Queen: The Life of Elizabeth of Bohemia 1596-1662 (Scotland: Trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland, 1998) 51-52. 4 accepted the decisions made by the men in her life. Mary Green puts forth a version of Elizabeth who was fiscally irresponsible and therefore largely reliant on her father, and later her brother, to keep her from financial ruin.2 Rosalind Marshall echoes this image of Elizabeth stating, “With her mild, affectionate nature she allowed the men in her life to take the lead.”3 Josephine Ross presents an Elizabeth who was always less important than her brothers and who was only influential as long as her interests did not conflict with those of her male relations.4 Even the most forgiving sketches of this version of Elizabeth see her as a well-intended wife who unnecessarily concerns herself with the business of her husband rather than as an actual actor in political events.5 Other scholars take a radically different view. Some compare Elizabeth’s role in the Thirty Years’ War to that of Helen of Troy in ancient times.6 The popular historical tradition of some European countries sees Elizabeth as domineering, arrogant, and meddlesome and deserving of the misfortune she encountered in her life.7 My interpretation of Elizabeth differs from the competing historiographies on Elizabeth that currently exist. Elizabeth was neither the powerless damsel nor the domineering tyrant that historians have described. Rather, she was a woman of great power and influence in a period where the majority of prominent historical figures were male. Due to Elizabeth’s strong intellect and connections, her husband, Frederick, often looked to his wife for advice. During one such 2 M.A. Everett Green, Elizabeth: Electress Palatine and Queen of Bohemia (London: Methuen and Co., 1909), chapter 1. 3 Rosalind K.

Ltd., 1902), 80. 6 Marshall, 71. 7 See Appendix, Figure 1 and 2 for “The Temptation of the Elector” print, one of many similar popular prints of the time depicting Frederick and Elizabeth, re-produced in Jana Hubková, Fridrich Falcký v zrcadle letákové publicistiky (Prague: Carolinum, 2010), 665. 5 occasion, Elizabeth played a pivotal role in convincing her husband to accept the Bohemian crown, an action that became a landmark decision for the continent and led to the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. Elizabeth continued to counsel Frederick throughout the war and used her sway with her father, James I, to improve the position of her family. Even in her later life, much of which was spent in exile, Elizabeth succeeded in placing her children in various positions of power and social prominence. Throughout her life, Elizabeth influenced the opinions and actions of those around her and used her abilities to control events. Elizabeth was truly a significant historical figure of the period. The body of secondary source work that has been written on the life of Elizabeth is relatively thin. This is surprising given her commanding personality and the integral role she played at the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. Additionally, most of the secondary scholarship that does exist is dated, published in the first half of the twentieth century or earlier. I hope to add to the historiographical record a more modern perspective on Elizabeth. My interpretation of Elizabeth falls somewhere in between the disparate historical portraits that have been painted of her in the past. There is also a geographic and cultural element to my work. Nearly all of the authors who have written studies on Elizabeth’s life share a national heritage with Elizabeth and come from a similar cultural and geographic context. The fact that I do not share this similarity with these authors gives me greater distance from the subject matter and allows me to view the life of Elizabeth through a different cultural lens to bring new perspective to the events. Elizabeth played an important role in shaping the policies and actions of the individuals around her and exercised influence through her patronage and relationships with others. Elizabeth was able to utilize her family connections, control events, and consolidate power through the means available to her, chiefly letters. There is significant source material available 6 on Elizabeth, much of which has not been utilized to its full potential. Previously, the most important collection of Elizabeth’s letters available was published in the early 1950’s.8 The source material on Elizabeth has just increased dramatically with a new publication by Nadine Akkerman of recently edited letters.9 To date, only one volume in the series has been published. However, as the two remaining volumes are released, the ability and opportunity to study Elizabeth will continue to increase as new primary source material becomes available. Likewise, the importance of Elizabeth’s life and her character will become even more apparent as these new sources become accessible to historians. This paper will study the correspondence of Elizabeth and use those letters to consider her power over her family and events in Europe throughout her life. Elizabeth’s influence will be considered in three parts. The first part will evaluate Elizabeth’s role from birth up until her marriage to Frederick at age sixteen. Even as a youth, Elizabeth’s forceful character foreshadowed the powerful and influential woman she would become. As a child, Elizabeth’s exceptional beauty and intelligence led her to play a role of political importance through the numerous marriage proposals she received from many prominent suitors across Europe. Also at a young age, Elizabeth began to exert influence on matters of the court and her retinue, often 8 The Letters of Elizabeth of Bohemia, ed. L.M. Baker (London: The Bodley Head, 1953). This source includes only letters written by Elizabeth, not any returned correspondence. Letter recipients include various diplomats, foreign ministers, her father James I, her brother Charles I, and her children, particularly her eldest son Charles Louis. The collection contains only one letter to Frederick and that is from 1612 before she ever met him in person. The letters span the years 1603 to Elizabeth’s death in 1662 and provide letters from throughout Elizabeth’s life. 9The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia: Volume II, 1632-1642, ed. Nadine Akkerman, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011). Akkerman, working with a team from the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, combined the letters in Baker’s publications with newly discovered correspondence of Elizabeth from the Royal Archive at Windsor Castle. The collection is an improvement in that it contains both letters written by Elizabeth and the answering correspondence written by others. Another improvement is that the collection does contain letters between Elizabeth and Frederick, although the collection starts in 1632, the same year Frederick died, so it contains very few of them.

  • The Catholic Challenge During the Thirty Years'
    4 ‘When will the burning start here?’: the Catholic challenge during the Thirty Years’ War The authorities in Rothenburg were spared another problematic encounter with a self-confessed child-witch until 1627, when thirteen-year-old Margaretha Hörber from the hinterland village of Gebsattel began claiming that she had been seduced into witchcraft and taken to witches’ dances by older women. As befitted a teenager, her story was more detailed than that told by six-year-old Hans Gackstatt in 1587, particularly in terms of her descrip- tions of the witches’ dance and her encounters with the devil. However, the questions of whether the experiences of a self-confessed child-witch had been real or illusory and of whether his or her testimony against others was to be trusted, which had perplexed the councillors and their advisers in 1587, also helped shape their dealings with Margaretha in 1627. What was different about the case in 1627 was the political context within which it took place. The Thirty Years’ War had started in 1618, and the late 1620s were years of ascen- dancy for the Catholic Habsburg Emperor, Ferdinand, and the Catholic League, the coalition of Catholic allies under the leadership of Duke Maximil- ian of Bavaria. This ascendancy culminated in the promulgation by Ferdinand of the Edict of Restitution in March 1629 which, among other provisions, ordered the return to the Catholic church of all ecclesiastical properties seized by Protestants since 1552 and constituted ‘a staggering blow to German Protestantism, before which all earlier setbacks paled in comparison’.1 Mar- garetha Hörber’s narrative of witchcraft and the manner in which the Rothen- burg council handled it proved to be firmly embedded in, and expressive of, this wider context of religious conflict, in which a beleaguered Lutheranism appeared to be fighting for its survival against the resurgent forces of counter- reformation Catholicism.

  • Archivio Gonzaga
    Archivio Gonzaga buste A-Z e 1-3720 (762, in copia del sec. XI-1866) cfr.: Pietro Torelli, L’Archivio Gonzaga di Mantova, Arnaldo Forni Editore, Ostiglia (MN) 1920, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1988, vol. I; Alessandro Luzio, La corrispondenza familiare, amministrativa e diplomatica dei Gonzaga, Verona 1922, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1993, vol. II. Archivio Gonzaga Nota introduttiva L’Archivio Gonzaga si può definire in sostanza come l’antico archivio «segreto» marchionale poi ducale, abbondantemente integrato con altra documentazione di data molto posteriore alla caduta della dinastia; esso è stato inserito, durante i lavori di ordinamento iniziati nel 1760, entro le ventidue classi A-Z fissate col piano di sistemazione variato il 13 agosto 1775. Come tale è poi rimasto, intatto nella sua struttura, a costituire il nucleo più prestigioso e il centro d’attrazione di sempre nuove carte di particolare importanza, sia dell’archivio governativo istituito nel 1786, sia soprattutto dell’archivio storico patrio pervenuto, come si è detto, all’Archivio di Stato di Mantova nel 1899. Un tipico archivio di corte e di cancelleria, insomma, con richiami di atti dalle più svariate magistrature sia comunali che principesche, ma ordinato per materia a posteriori, e quindi in modo tale da non rispecchiare né l’organizzazione della cancelleria, né tanto meno quella degli organi di governo nel loro complesso. Naturalmente esso comprende anche carte di data anteriore all’avvento dei Gonzaga al potere: in particolare quelle che i Gonzaga stessi avevano concentrato nella magna domus dopo la battaglia di piazza San Pietro del 16 agosto 1328, data comunemente accolta come termine della signoria bonacolsiana, e che l’incendio dell’archivio del comune nel 1413 ha reso poi particolarmente preziose.

  • The Sophies of Hanover and Royal Prussian Music Abstract
    Kulturgeschichte Preuûens - Colloquien 6 (2018) Ellen Exner The Sophies of Hanover and Royal Prussian Music Abstract: The history of royal Prussian music was shaped not only by its kings, but also by its queens. Although there were famously patterns of crisis and prosperity in the kingdom©s eighteenth-century history, strands of continuity provided by Prussia©s early Hanoverian queens often go unobserved and therefore undescribed. The first Prussian queen, Sophie Charlotte of Hanover, set a precedent for sophisticated music cultivation, which is apparent in Corelli©s dedication to her of the Op. 5 violin sonatasÐa collection of chamber pieces. Her legacyÐand that of her homeland, HanoverÐlived on through the private efforts of her daughter-in-law and successor, Sophie Dorothea, whose own legacy is evident in the musical activities of her children. <1> Kings are unquestionably important in the histories of kingdoms but queens also had roles to play in creating a reign©s culture. Early in Prussia©s royal history, two of its queens were the real forces behind music cultivation within the ruling family. Queens Sophie Charlotte (r. 1701 to 1705) and Sophie Dorothea (r. 1713 to 1740) both came originally to Prussia from Hanover and shared more than just their bloodline with the Prussian royal family: they also infused it with a discerning passion for music. Prussia©s first queen, Sophie Charlotte, achieved a very high standard of elite music making, setting an impressive precedent for the royal family. Memory of her musicianship remained alive in her descendants, female as well as male. When Sophie Charlotte©s own son, King Friedrich Wilhelm I (r.

    “Singing by Course” and the Politics of Worship in the Church of England, c1560–1640 By James Campbell Nelson Apgar A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor James Davies Professor Diego Pirillo Spring 2018 Abstract “Singing by Course” and the Politics of Worship in the Church of England, c1560–1640 by James Campbell Nelson Apgar Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair “Singing by course” was both a product of and a rhetorical tool within the religious discourses of post-Reformation England. Attached to a variety of ostensibly distinct practices, from choirs singing alternatim to congregations praying responsively, it was used to advance a variety of partisan agendas regarding performance and sound within the services of the English Church. This dissertation examines discourses of public worship that were conducted around and through “singing by course,” treating it as a linguistic and conceptual node within broader networks of contemporary religious debate. I thus attend less to the history of the vocal practices to which “by course” and similar descriptions were applied than to the polemical dynamics of these applications. Discussions of these terms and practices slipped both horizontally, to other matters of ritual practice, and vertically, to larger topics or frameworks such as the nature of the Christian Church, the production of piety, and the roles of sound and performance in corporate prayer. Through consideration of these issues, “singing by course” emerges as a rhetorical, political, and theological construction, one that circulated according to changing historical conditions and to the interests of various ecclesiastical constituencies.

Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.
