Small German Courts in the Eighteenth Century

<p>First published in English in 1958 this book charts the history of the small states which emerged in Germany from the chaos of the Thirty Years War. A period which has been neglected by English historians this book covers both the German principalities generally and specifically a study of The Duchy of Württemberg and the County of Montbéliard. It builds up a world of eccentricity documenting little-known facts about palaces and princes. </p>
