Our second paper from @Isacsson_Alex was formally titled ‘The Gift-Giving of a Sidestepped Royal Heir: The gifts and court of Duke Johan of Sweden, 1600-1618’—but he has changed it & I couldn’t type fast enough! However, we are still hearing about Duke Johan ‘a royal spare’ #KQ13

Great paper from @katkosior illuminating Anna Jagiellon’s unusual case as a quasi-regnant queen in an elective monarchy—now we move northward to @Isacsson_Alex “Opening the window to female succession: Revising the Swedish succession pact in 1590 and 1604” #FemaleSuccession

Hello! Today I @Isacsson_Alex will give some examples of how Duke Karl used his court and patronage to express dynastic identification and position himself as the head a house in the 1590s when he was in open conflict with his nephew King Sigismund #earlymodern #courtstudies 1/7

Hello #twitterstorians! On this 2nd day of my #courtstudies #takeover I will show you how I approach the subject of dukeship and dynasty in my research. My project deals with 5 dukes, but we will focus on the most imposing spare, Duke Karl, who was later crowned Karl IX 1/5

After @AlbertKozik, the next ECR to #takeover our Twitter channel was @NLidewij who works on Nassau wives in the 17th C. Next week, @Isacsson_Alex will tell us more about "the problem of the spare" in Sweden. Would you like to feature in this series? DM or email! Sharing=caring!
Hello #twitterstorians! My name is Lidewij Nissen @NLidewij and for the next 5 days I’ll be taking over this channel to tell you a bit about my research. How do dynasties survive in a non-monarchical setting? In any case, they need princesses! 1/5
