Foreign Ministers bargain as Europe braces for war
In Salvaterra the king contemplates neutrality amid French offers to engage this Court. An English vessel sailed from Falmouth with a royal letter, sent on to Salvaterra, where the king plans to stay through Whit weekend. Reports vary on whether Spain will respond, while fortifications and fleet preparations hint at a vigorous defense. Madrid signals tensions as Catalonia’s governance and loyalty to laws provoke dissatisfaction, and finances limit levies. Across Europe, ambassadors press claims on succession, with the Emperor urging unity against France and Spain. Meanwhile, Venice and Holland weigh up proffered alliances, and Mantua’s seizure stirs Italian politics as war looms.
