France seeks to shape European ruler line to curb Austria
Reports from Paris and Amsterdam describe France pressing to back the Grand Duke of Tuscany as King of the Romans while curbing Austria. Proposals include marrying the Archduchess to Bavaria’s heir, redrawing limits with France, and balancing power with Britain’s naval moves. Intelligence hints at campaigns in the Mediterranean and potential actions in Cuba and St. Augustine, with Spain and Naples key in a broader plot.
