Abstracts

EN

The article is dedicated to the diary of Franz Ulrich Kinsky from 1663–1672, which is deposited in Österreichisches Staatsarchiv, Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv in Vienna, among his manuscript collection. The author characterizes its exploitability and uses it as groundwork for reconstruction of Kinsky’s correspondence relations, diplomatic tours, his career on the Viennese court and his private life. His reflection on the court milieu and the circumstances on the court are also interesting. Between 1663 and 1665, Franz Ulrich Kinsky undertook two diplomatic missions to the Kingdom of Poland where he held talks with the Polish queen Marie Louise Gonzaga de Nevers and her opponent Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski on collaboration in stopping the Ottoman expansion. Kinsky’s reflection on the court milieu and sessions of the Bohemian land council, which he chaired several times as the royal commissioner, is also interesting.
