Elizabeth's father had been dabbling with the idea of a French match for one of his daughters for some time. Life in Wiener Neustadt Castle continued as it had for Elizabeth and the other women of the court. Confident in his prospects, her father Maximilian spent some of the time reorganizing the court staffs, composing new instructions for officials such as the Lord High Steward, the Grand Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, and so on. One of the primary locations for Habsburg hunting in the period was Castle Ebersdorf, not far from Vienna. The Mantuan match was the first of three key marriage alliances between the Habsburgs and various influential northern Italian families which would be celebrated in the next four years.Keywords: Archduchess Elizabeth; Habsburg; marriage alliances; Vienna

It places these two women into the context of the burgeoning field of Court Studies (with its subfield of Queenship Studies), as well as into the context of the analysis of the creation of the central European Habsburgs' jointly-ruled territories and these territories' shifting and complicated relations with the larger Holy Roman Empire of which many of the territories were part. It is shown how the women's court of the central European Habsburgs and its members' ties to men and women's courts elsewhere played important roles in the meshing of the various cultures, political units, and expectations which the Habsburgs brought together.Keywords: Archduchess Elizabeth; Habsburg family; Holy Roman Empress Maria; women's court

Elizabeth's first years were spent in the old and crowded castle. The conglomeration of Hungarian and Iberian cultures at Queen Maria’s court is also evident in the material culture of the women who served there. The religious situation at the court in which Elizabeth was growing up was confused and likely confusing to the young archduchess. In Vienna, the Moravian war preacher and crusader Bishop Antonin was being firmly instructed by Ferdinand to improve the moral conditions in the city and the diocese, particularly among the clergy. The halls and chapels of the Habsburg castles, whether in Vienna or in Wiener Neustadt, resounded in the latest vocal and instrumental styles. Queen Maria’s and Queen Elisabeth's courts had similar establishments in 1560.Keywords: Archduchess Elizabeth; Hofburg; Queen Maria’s; Vienna castle; Wiener Neustadt

The ways by which the women's court in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt functioned as a site of amalgamation for the Habsburgs in central Europe and the ways by which the women's familiar and political connections helped shape the dynasty's relations with the wider Holy Roman Empire as well as the rest of Europe have also been discussed. The book also highlights a number of themes associated with the experiences of a young noblewoman destined to become a queen, touching along the way issues relating to the education of her siblings.Keywords: Archduchess Elizabeth; Empress Maria; Habsburgs; Holy Roman empire; Vienna

Elizabeth's organ teacher Guillaume Formellis was busy doing his part in supporting the war effort and developing an image of the warrior emperor. For the next three years Empress Maria and her court lived most of the time in Vienna. By this time, her sister-in-law Queen Katherina of Poland had finally been allowed to return, so for almost exactly a year, Vienna was home to both an empress and a queen, the first now 38, the second 33 years old. Empress Maria's Christianity in which Elizabeth was being trained was deeply marked by the veneration of saints, particularly Saint Mary. The last twist in the story of the marriage negotiations surrounding Archduchess Elizabeth and her sister Anna occurred in November, 1568 when news arrived in Vienna of the death of Queen Elisabeth of Spain.Keywords: Archduchess Elizabeth; civil war; Empress Maria’s; Maximilian's marriage strategy

Elizabeth left the familiar confines of the castle at Wiener Neustadt and discovered anew her birthplace on the Danube. Maria was the first Holy Roman Empress in a quarter of a century. For Elizabeth, the rather confused time following the death of her grandfather, marked as it was by the change in residence, funeral and mourning, war rumors, and personnel shifts, was undoubtedly an anxious one. Elizabeth's grandfather Ferdinand, who had a major influence in the upbringing of his grandchildren, had known the Spanish writer Juan Luis Vives while the two of them had lived at Ferdinand's aunt Margarete's court in the Low Countries. Elizabeth grew up in a world where the threat of the Ottomans was often present.Keywords: Danube; Elizabeth; Empress; Empress Maria; Ferdinand; Imperial Daughter; Juan Luis Vives; Margarete; Ottomans; Wiener Neustadt

These "comedies," which reprised how the virtuous Joseph had triumphed over the wicked wiles of his jealous brothers, centered on the theme of fraternal hatred. From 1672, they were followed by a ballet of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. On each of these evenings of entertainment, Johann Georg II required his three younger brothers, their wives and their families to attend. Johann Georg II seems to have resented his father's decision to provide his (Johann Georg Us) younger brothers with territories in the west of Saxony, with the result that the size of his patrimony had decreased. Admonishing his siblings (and perhaps also himself),Johann Georg II put on these plays to drive home to his brothers his own virtuous position. Just in case they did not fully comprehend the message of the play, they were given a printed plot summary and interpretative text to take away with them. With great skill, Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly reveals in this book the sometimes unlikely combination of Lutheranism and Italianate court culture that pervaded one of the wealthiest and most important courts in the Holy Roman Empire. Relying upon a rich array of primary documents, many of them illustrated and most of them unexamined by previous researchers, she shows the way in which the Saxon electors employed art in the service of governing their territory from 1553 to 1733. This excellent overview will be useful to scholars beginning research in the Saxon libraries and archives and it will be enlightening to the informed traveler visiting Dresden. Many important points emerge from the wealth of detail in this book, among them the slow course of evolution of Saxon court culture from the founding of Dresden as his capital by Moritz (1521-1553) and the expansion of the court in Dresden under his brother August's thirty-three-year reign (r. 1553-1586) to that of August the Strong (1670-1733), who converted to the Catholic faith in order to be elected King of Poland (as August II). This cumulative development of Saxon culture, especially in the fabrication and dissemination of the persona of the elector, moved into high gear under Johann Georg II (1613-1680) and
