Hello cparti! First of all, thank you for your blog! I'm following you for a while now and I really enjoy your 17th century content. There can never be enough of that for my taste. Your knowledge about Felipe IV. leads me to my question and my reason to message you: Do you by chance have any information what the king and his politicians were up to in the year 1658 specifically? I'm doing some research for a story and a spanish perspective would really help me to connect the information I already gathered. Thank you so much in advance! Love, la mélancholie

thank you for your message!!! and for your kind words <333 i can maybe give an overview? let me know if you're looking for something specific!

1658 is a terrible, no good year for the spanish monarchy lmao: there's several ongoing wars — vs. france and vs. portugal (supported by, shocker, france and england) — and finances are going impressively bad overall (an inefficient, overextended system, the war... and the massive amounts of money invested in leopold i's campaing for holy roman emperor lol).

internationally, for the war with france, both parties are exhausted in terms of men and money, but england's last minute entry with france + big defeats (like don juan of austria at dunkirk/battle of the dunes - which even cost him the governorship of low countries lol) tip the balance decisively in france's favor and kinda force the treaty of the pyrennees. the attempt to stop the independence of portugal is doing somewhat better (ie it doesn't look hopeless yet) — i believe the siege of badajoz, which spanish troops win, is ongoing that year — but it's all syphoning resources like crazy, resources which the monarchy doesn't have after almost 30 years of uninterrupted war against basically everyone.

domestically, the court is not going through a particularly tough time (apart from financing problems... eg. no credit for food anymore lol. parties are still on though) and the government is stable. 1658 is the tail end of luis de haro's tenure as prime minister (he died in 1661), and he never lost the king's support... ever after delivering a staggering loss on the portuguese front the very next year lol, at the battle of evora. the birth of infante fernando tomás makes felipe's succession look very secure (2 daughters + 2 sons), which allows him to start seriously planning to marry off maria teresa to louis xiv (instead of the safe bet/ally leopold i as they were already preparing) without it being as much of a gamble (hah!!).

i think this is the general summary... if there's anything in particular which would be useful to you don't hesitate to hit me up and i'll help as best as i can 🙏

[whats-wild-to-you]

hi and hello, hope you're doing fantastic!! i was wondering if you'd write something for jay, if you want to? maybe it's super late, she's reading in bed but wakes him up, he gets grumpy so she reads to him and he falls back asleep (just sickenly cute - sorry). thank you, have a super good day! 😘💕✨

hi 🤗 thank you for the request !!!

I hope you like it 😘

————————————————————————

It was 3am when Jay stirred in his sleep. Slowly you scooted away from him, lowering the brightness on your iPad even more.

“You gotta be kidding me! You’re still reading?”

“This book is just too good to put down! Very soothing. Should I read you something?”

“No! Put the iPad away and go to sleep!”

“Soon.”

“Babe. Now!”

“ ...  ‘EVERYTHING’S CHANGING so fast,’ she said. ‘Isn’t it stunning to wake up every morning and feel that the whole world’s brand-new again, a present waiting for you to unwrap it?’ For emphasis she stabbed her foot-long cigarette holder towards the Pyrennees, to declare them part of the present, with the snow-glitter along the peaks a little tinsel to add glamour to the gift. ‘It’s all yours,’ he said, generously including in his gesture not only the mountains but the nearer landscape, and the cubist spillage of roofs down the slope below the terrace and the two crones in black creaking up a cobbled alley, and nearer still the elderly three-piece band nobly attempting a Charleston while their souls still pined for the Vienna Woods, and even the braying group of young French rich, already into their third cocktail at half past three. ... ”

You looked over to Jay, watching him as he slowly drifted off to sleep. You lowered your voice as you read the passage, until you were merely whispering. 

“The End.” You whispered softly, closing your iPad and pressing your body up against his. Instinctively, Jay wrapped his strong arms around you, placing a dainty kiss on your forehead.
