This study gives a detailed analysis of the correspondence of Jana of Pernštejn stored in the family archive of the Dukes of Alba. Using this source, the author attempts to look in detail at the important position which the daughter of Vratislav of Pernštejn and his Spanish wife, Marie Manrique de Lara took on at the court of the widowed Empress Maria. Following her arrival in Spain at the latest, where she followed her Habsburg patron in 1581, Jana of Pernštejn became an important mediator between Empress Maria and her Central European clients. In this way, she managed to maintain Maria of Habsburg’s influence at Prague’s imperial court. Due to the trust the Empress placed in her, she was also given the opportunity to intervene in events at the Royal court in Madrid.
