Conference: Emigrants and exiles from the Three Kingdoms in Europe, 1603-1688
The aim of this conference will be to provide an opportunity for speakers and audience to analyse expatriate groups from the three Stuart kingdoms within the continental and Scandinavian settings during the seventeenth century. The presentations will, it is anticipated, help to extend the focus of current research beyond the sons and daughters of Scotland and Ireland, by shedding brighter light on English and Welsh emigrants and exiles, thus illuminating the connections that could link anglophone expatriate groups at the widest level within early modern Europe. Papers relating to all such ties (political/diplomatic, military, religious, intellectual and cultural) between 1603 and 1688, will be integral to the schedule.
