The Arrest of the false King Sebastian by Ferdinando I de' Medici in 1601: A Political Gift to Spain as Compensation for the French Alliance
This presentation highlights the richness of the Archivio Mediceo del Principato (the Medici Gran Ducal Archive), showing how its materials can shed light on the political and diplomatic dimensions of the case of the false Dom Sebastian, the man who announced himself in 1598 as the lost king of Portugal of the battle of the Three Kings (1578).
After his liberation from the jails of the Republic of Venice in December of 1600, the false Sebastian headed to Livorno, but he was arrested upon his arrival in Florence. Grand Duke Ferdinand I of Tuscany seized the occasion to deliver the man to Philip III, as a means of mending the deteriorated relationship with Spain.
