The Small German Courts in the Eighteenth Century

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 W�rttemberg and the County of Montb�liard. It builds up a world of eccentricity, documenting little-known facts about palaces and princes.
