"Your Protegee, Sacrificed to the Dispositions of Your Majesty and Those of Her Majesty the Queen of Spain." The Spanish Monarchy and the Negotiations for the Marriage Between Archduchess Claudia Felicitas of Austria-Tyrol and James, Duke of York (1671–1673).

Between 1671 and 1673, the possible marriage between the then Duke of York, James, heir of the English throne, and Archduchess Claudia Felicitas of Tyrol, was subjected to important and complex negotiations between the members of the Stuart and Habsburg dynasties. Queen Regent Mariana of Austria and the Spanish Monarchy played a central role in them as the most interested party in the Habsburg dynasty to see this alliance come to fruition. The development of these marriage negotiations, focusing especially on two considerations, is analysed in this article. First, the central role that Queen Regent Mariana of Austria and the interests of the Spanish Monarchy had in the negotiation of this marriage, which they hoped would help to break the alliance between France and England, and bring back Charles II of England to the former Triple Alliance with the threatened United Provinces. This article will also highlight the political role that women were expected to play after their wedding, this being one of the bases of the system of dynastic marriage alliances in the Ancien Régime.
