- Abstract
"The Palatine Family and the Thirty Years' War, Experiences of Exile in Early Modern Europe, 1632–1648" is a book that explores the experiences of the Palatine family during their period of exile in the seventeenth century. The book focuses on the years between 1632 and 1648, examining how political exiles formulated strategies for their restoration and the extent of their autonomy in doing so. The author, Thomas Pert, also explores broader themes such as dynasticism in early modern Europe and the transnational approach to studying ruling elites. The book highlights the challenges faced by exiled families, including financial difficulties and the need to rely on the agency of more powerful states. The Palatine family's fortunes were tied to the interests of Sweden and England, but their influence remained limited. Despite some limitations, the book provides a comprehensive and insightful study of early modern exile and the unique experiences of the Palatine family.
