For #silentsunday a rather dark and moody photo from a hike through the Taunus (Hesse, Germany) in autumn 2020.
The Taunus is a medium mountain range in the heart of Germany in the state of Hesse north of Frankfurt.

Continued thread

After the Charles XII’s death in 1719, as many as 159 Swedish soldiers and sailors were transferred to Hesse-Kassel. They were quartered and supplied at the expenses of the landgrave, but resident Brunell had to communicate between the two parts. Moreover, he had to figure out a plan how to bring these soldiers and sailors back to #Sweden as soon as possible. And, last but not least, he had to negotiate with the landgrave on support for his daughter-in-law, the new queen of Sweden.

This example sheds light not only on the very poorly researched connection between military issues and #emdiplomacy as well as how #emdiplomats sometimes were forced to solve exceptional situations. (4/5)

Continued thread

Brunell’s stationing in Hesse-Kassel coincided with the last years of the #GreatNorthernWar. After the Swedish territories in the north of the #HRE had been occupied by #Sweden’s enemies in 1715, a huge number of Swedish soldiers and sailors who either lost contact with their units or were escaped prisoners of war, came to Hessen-Kassel to seek help from the Swedish #resident there and the landgrave, the father-in-law to the Swedish king’s sister, to find a way back to #Sweden or at least Swedish territory. During a five years’ time, the Swedish residents in Hesse-Kassel and especially Brunell were occupied with organising how these people should be handled. Brunell negotiated with the landgrave about passports, money, and provisions. (3/5)
