The current study attempts to reconstruct the coronation of Joseph I as King of Hungary in Pressburg (Bratislava) on 9th December 1687 on the basis of a context analysis of written and iconographic primary sources. Yet, the author is not merely interested in outlining the political background of the coronation and the description of its progress. Using the methodological concept of symbolic communication he strives to decipher individual symbolic stages and gestures, which the very persons involved in the performance put into action. He does not overlook either the forms of personal representation of Joseph I, his parents – Leopold I and Eleonore Magdalene of Neuburg, the Hungarian Estates and the ways of visualising their social standing.

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.

In the 1650s, the wedding model of Bohemian, Moravian, Silesian and Austrian noble families was based on rational foundations, which did not yield to “harmful” emotions. Planning of a marriage alliance stemmed from predetermined policies, which promoted the family’s prestige and power. The nobleman was not allowed to marry whichever woman he desired, but had to adhere to certain strict selection criteria. This essay follows the mentioned course by penetrating into the intellectual world of Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg. It describes a gradual evolution and transformation of his attitudes towards finding a suitable bride for his only son Ferdinand. On Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg’s children, we can observe important facts, which strongly influenced marriage policies of the subsequent generations. For most of the 17th century, the Schwarzenbergs (unlike other significant families of the monarchy, e.g. the Dietrichsteins, Lichtensteins and Lambergs) lacked a great number of descendants and were unable to form a greatly branched system of relationships. In case of Adam of Schwarzenberg, only the younger son Jan Adolf reached adult age. The fortune only endowed him with two offspring who did not die during their childhood, i.e. Ferdinand and Marie Ernestine. This lack was reflected in the selection of spouses, who were able to promote splendour and prestige of the family. Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg was thus obliged to proceed with much greater care than Ferdinand of Dietrichstein, Jan Maxmilian of Lamberg or Gundakar of Lichtenstein and carefully consider benefits of the selected persons. In case of Jan Adolf and Ferdinand of Schwarzenberg, age, economical aspects and the Catholic Church played the decisive role; appearance and personal qualities came second. The bride’s social status and the family’s respect in the eyes of early modern noble society were far more important. The potential wife was required to be on equal or even higher social level. Although the Schwarzenbergs wished to consolidate their social authority and at last establish a relationship with a Roman Empire princely family in the 1670s, economical aspects prevailed and Ferdinand of Schwarzenberg finally married Countess Mary Anna of Sulz in spring 1674. Thanks to this prudent act, he acquired further independent imperial estates after the death of Jan Ludwig II of Sulz in May 1687 – the Kleggau county and the Sulz county in Schwaben.
