This book is the first to explore the rich festival culture of late
sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century France as a tool for
diplomacy. Bram van Leuveren examines how the late Valois and early
Bourbon rulers of the kingdom made conscious use of festivals to
advance their diplomatic interests in a war-torn Europe and how
diplomatic stakeholders from across the continent participated in
and responded to the theatrical and ceremonial events that featured
at these festivals. Analysing a large body of multilingual
eyewitness and commemorative accounts, as well as visual and
material objects, Van Leuveren argues that French festival culture
operated as a contested site where the diplomatic concerns of
stakeholders from various national, religious, and social
backgrounds fought for recognition.
