“…At least five imperial dynastic ladies, eight princesses, and ten imperial countesses took part in the coronation of 1612, while only six imperial countesses could be drummed up in 1742. 57 What did remain, however, was a second form of ceremonial, displaying the connection between the empress and the dynastic ladies, a component of a comprehensive ceremonial performance of the relationship between the imperial house and the empire or between the imperial territories: the ceremonial of the female audience in the Holy Roman Empire.…”

Hidden Figures: The Holy Roman Empire as a “Realm of Ladies”

The aim of this article is to make clear that, although men largely dominated the institutions of the Holy Roman Empire, beyond these constitutional institutions we can find many examples of women's agency. In particular, women of noble and princely families assumed political roles, both in relation to territories and to the empire as a whole. While it would not be correct to reinterpret the Holy Roman Empire as a “realm of ladies,” it seems clear that the empire, as a communicative context and dynastic network, was constituted with the participation of elite women, and that women were important for the ritual perpetuation of the constitution of the empire. In short, it was not only law and the constitution and the actions of men that held the empire together, but also the actions of women, who helped shape networks and politics just as they influenced the transfer of knowledge and culture.

Este artículo examina las relaciones entre los protagonistas de la corte vienesa a partir de los importantes acontecimientos políticos que se produjeron en el periodo comprendido entre 1713 y 1740. La fuente principal para ello son las notas personales del propio emperador, los diarios de Carlos VI. Sus anotaciones y la mención de encuentros con consejeros cercanos ponen de manifiesto las posibilidades de influencia. Debido a las experiencias del archiduque Carlos en España, que marcaron el rumbo del futuro, estos años también se incluyen en las consideraciones. Carlos VI ostentó el título de Rey de España hasta su muerte. En el proceso, España pasó de ser su propio dominio a ser un oponente político y, finalmente, un aliado, que volvió a cambiar en 1729. Esta relación ilustra por sí sola la animada actividad diplomática (y militar) de los años estudiados, que también puede rastrearse por la cambiante influencia de individuos y grupos en la corte imperial de Viena

As indicated by the current research on the wives and daughters of the Habsburg emperors on the threshold of the modern age, individual authors no longer devote themselves in their contributions to a mere outline of their basic biographical data and possible political influence Under the influence of new political history, in recent years they have begun to view the role of queens through the lens of dynastic history, in the context of their male counterparts In addition to anchoring the position of the empress in early modern power constitutions and contemporary legal discourse, they also often follow the symbolic depictions of these rulers on the basis of various communication situations connected with the exercise of power, such as coronation ceremonies and other rituals of transition between life and death -marriage, childbirth, death Nor is the importance of the communication networks of the empresses and their cultural patronage disregarded 1 The present study, which will be devoted to the first wife of Leopold I (1640-1705), Margaret Theresa of Spain (1651-1673), will follow the direction indicated The personality of the aforementioned empress, whom Leopold I married in 1666, has previously 1
