Description

This letter, sent from Vienna in 1840, reflects the diplomatic negotiations to obtain funding from European powers, in a context of political rearrangement after the Napoleonic Wars and the First Carline War. The correspondence between the Count of Alcúdia and Joan de Rocabertí-Dameto shows the involvement of the Catalan aristocracy in international affairs and its connection with the European courts. It is a key source for understanding funding strategies, political alliances and the role of Catalonia in 19th century diplomacy.
