Elisabeth Farnese, the Termagant of Spain e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The marriage of Elisabeth Farnese to the King of Spain caused the renewal of the struggle between Bour bon and Hapsburg which the Treaties of Utrecht and Baden were meant to close. But the conflict takes a less majestic, less national, and more personal form. To win a heritage by war for the son of Elisabeth, to preserve a heritage by treaty for the daughter of Charles Vl., or to combine the interests of the two children by marriage - such were the main problems of European politics.
