th<\/sup> centuries. Through eight sessions and three round tables, it will examine how the Habsburgs turned marriage into a tool of governance, replacing military conquest with family alliances.<\/p>\nThe course will address the construction of a transnational dynastic network that united the crowns of Castile, Aragon, Burgundy, Austria and Portugal, thereby consolidating Catholic hegemony in the face of the Reformation and rival powers. It will analyse the decisions of Maximilian I, Charles V and Philip II, the emblematic marriages that shaped the European political map, and the biological and symbolic limits of dynastic inbreeding.<\/p>\n
It will also study female agency in court diplomacy, queens, infantas<\/em> and regents who acted as political mediators, as well as the global projection of the Habsburg imperial model in the American viceregal sphere, where the monarchy\u2019s familial and religious order translated into new colonial hierarchies and a process of social mestizaje<\/em>, generating alliances between Creole and peninsular elites.<\/p>\nThe programme concludes with an analysis of the literary representation of Habsburg power during the Spanish Golden Age, where imperial marriage was exalted as a symbol of divine legitimacy and authority, but also subjected to critique within Baroque culture.<\/p>\n
Overall, this course offers a comprehensive view of the diplomacy and political culture of a dynasty that aspired to embody the ideal of universal monarchy.<\/p>\n
