From the #HRE we turn to another quite special actor: #earlymodern #Switzerland. We are very happy to have found none other than Sarah Rindlisbacher Thomi from the university of Bern as an author.

Rindlisbacher wrote her PhD on “Ambassadors of Protestantism. Foreign policy activities of Zurich's town clergy in the 17th century” (in German). So who could be better suited to tell us about the characteristics of Swiss #emdiplomacy?! (2/5)
