Routledge Anglo-German Relations and the Protestant Cause Vol 2

Explore a new perspective on Elizabethan foreign policy in this scholarly work by Gehring. This volume examines the relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and the Protestant Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, offering a fresh look at historical diplomatic ties. Based on extensive archival research, the text argues that the connection between the English Church and State and their counterparts in Germany and Denmark was more successful than previous historians have suggested. By looking at the continuous correspondence and diplomatic engagement between these allies, the book provides a detailed account of pan-Protestantism in the early modern world. This research provides a complete study of the relations between Queen Elizabeth I and her allies, making it an essential resource for those studying European history, religious cultures, and the political landscape of the Elizabethan era. It challenges long-held notions and provides a deep understanding of how religious identity shaped international relations during this period.
