Despite the rain, the 4th Splendid Encounters conference in Budapest was a great success. We had a wide range of papers from both experienced and new academics. It was good to hear from our postgraduate members. The plenary paper by Arno Strohmeyer, on
Trends and Perspectives in Early Modern Diplomatic History: The Case of Habsburg-Ottoman Relations, was, due to illness, presented for us by Gabor - so well done him!
We were pleased to be able to announce the imminent launch of our new on-line journal, Legatio. Journal of Renaissance and Early-modern Diplomatic Practice - watch for details soon. The editorial team will be Anna, Bobby, Laura Mesotten and Sam Gallacher., with Charlotte Backerra as our technical adviser.
