I am currently researching the problem of Charles II of Spain's succession and how it influenced the Spanish Monarchy's diplomatic relationship with Bavaria and the Empire. I am also studying the reigns of Charles II and Leopold I at large, the importance of Maximilian II Emanuel in the Europe of the second half of XVIIth century and women's right of succession in the different royal houses of Europe in the XVI and XVII centuries.
