In dealing with their activities, this book challenges the notion that France or the northern Low Countries invariably provided the country's strongest continental connections during the early modern period. The first part of the text relates to the Spanish Habsburg lands, while the second introduces several military entrepreneurs who rose to prominence in the service of the eastern, 'Austrian' branch of the dynasty. From the mid-1630s, most of this diverse group became allies, in promoting the cause of the Scottish-born, former 'Winter Queen' of Bohemia, Elizabeth Stuart, and her family.History of Warfare ;21.ScotsAustriaHistoryScotsScotsHistory.Scots.940.2/44Worthington David1500087NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910783202203321Scots in Habsburg Service, 1618-16483733373UNINA02965nam 2200757 a 450 991080900170332120240514074656.0978661340776497814443549731444354973978128340776212834077609781444354997144435499X97814443549661444354965(CKB)2550000000074324(EBL)822661(OCoLC)768732502(SSID)ssj0000564885(PQKBManifestationID)11359245(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000564885(PQKBWorkID)10516866(PQKB)11026312(MiAaPQ)EBC822661(Au-PeEL)EBL822661(CaPaEBR)ebr10518655(CaONFJC)MIL340776(Perlego)1011915(EXLCZ)99255000000007432420110825d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrReading Victorian poetry /Richard Cronin1st ed.Hoboken, N.J.
