The paper offers an interesting view of the everyday life on the imperial court in the mid-1750s and a scale of values of the Master of the Court of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm – Duke John Adolf of Schwarzenberg (1615-1683). It mingles two narrative lines. The first line mirrors the position of a high court officer in the hierarchically arranged society on the Viennese court and events that coincided with the death of Ferdinand III and accession of Leopold I to the throne. The other line captures the conduct of John Adolf of Schwarzenberg in the secret council – the emperor’s advisory organ for internal and foreign policy of the Danube monarchy – at the start of the deceased emperor’s son’s rule. The study includes a complete critical edition of the diary written by John Adolf of Schwarzenberg dated 28th March to 15th May 1657.
