The delegation of the Bohemian King-Elector to the election of the new Roman King in Frankfurt am Main, 1745
Original language description
We know quite a lot about the elections and coronations of Roman kings and emperors in the 17th and 18th centuries, but this does not apply to the electoral delegations of individual electors. The author has analysed the rich sources from the National Archives in Prague from 1745 and used them to examine the proceedings of the Bohemian delegation in Frankfurt am Main. He then compared everything with the delegations of 1657-58 (Leopold I), 1711 (Charles VI) and 1742 (Charles VII). The author shows who made up the Bohemian delegation and how some of the tasks of these diplomats changed over time. Although the delegation of the three nobles - Counts Wurmbrand and Khevehüller and Baron Hilleprand - had mainly ceremonial tasks, their role was also crucial in the actual negotiations, both on the day of the election itself and afterwards, when they represented the Queen in the cathedral and finally in the voting in the conclave, and when they were entrusted with other tasks (e.g. organizing the ceremonial banquet, lighting the houses, etc.). It is clear that the delegation helped Queen Maria Theresa and her family regain the imperial title.
