Refugees, religion and diplomacy in early modern Europe

这个项目调查了在亨利·与罗马决裂后的一个半世纪里，天主教流亡者和难民在盎格鲁-罗马外交中的作用。它在早期现代外交和天主教反抗者的文献之间架起了桥梁，利用了罗马图书馆在Pro 31/9和31/10中未编目的163卷文字记录的非凡资源，其中包括教皇官员的广泛信件，罗马和杜艾英国学院的文件，以及许多流亡者的信件。该项目探讨了个人、机构和调解人在外交中的作用，评估了他们在16世纪和17世纪关键转折点的活动。

This project investigates the agency of Catholic exiles and refugees in Anglo-Roman diplomacy in the strained century-and-a-half following Henry VIII's break with Rome. It bridges the literatures on early modern diplomacy and Catholic recusants, drawing on the extraordinary resource of the 163 volumes of uncatalogued transcripts from Roman libraries in PRO 31/9 and 31/10, which include extensive correspondence from papal officials, documentation from the English Colleges in Rome and Douai, and many letters from exiles. Exploring the roles of individuals, institutions and mediators in diplomacy, the project assesses their activities at key turning points in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
