Abstracts

A paper concerns the history of early modern diplomacy. The study explores operation of the imperial legates’ chapels in Saxon Dresden between the 1660s and 1690s under the rule of the Electors John George II, John George II, John George IV and Frederick Augustus until his conversion to the Catholic confession in 1697. The author summarizes basic information on location of the chapels, the chaplains and their activities and closely analyses problems of local authorities with the legates’ chapels. He illustrates alternations of tolerance and tension in Dresden that coincided with persecutions of the Saxon subjects attending Catholic masses (following 1676), with assaults against members of the legate’s entourage (1683 and 1685) and even with a ban of masses during the legate’s absence (1695). The legates and their chaplains, however, refused to yield and, despite certain limitations, continued to run the chapels.
