This article analyses diplomatic activities of one of the foremost Hapsburg noblemen, the Count Antonín Jan of Nostitz in Sweden between the years 1685–1690. This mission differed in many aspects from other diplomatic legations in the second half of the 17th century and it largely influenced the consequent career development of the young ambassador. A large range of problems and varied issues, which had greater or lesser impacts, which Count Nostitz had to address in his post, indicate the incredible dynamics of international relationships in the period following the Thirty Years’ War.
