Rare Dutch account of the reception of the English prince Charles by the Spanish king Philip IV in 1623 in order to conclude the Spanish Match: “The climax of the ensuing decade of high-level negotiation to secure a marriage between the leading Protestant and Catholic royal families of Europe occurred in 1623 in Madrid, with the embassy of the Prince Charles and James’s favourite, George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. The wedding never took place despite the signing of a marriage contract by King James; criticism instead led to the dissolution of Parliament.” (Wikipedia). Gothic type.
