REPORT ABOUT THE SIEGE OF BELGRADE IN 1717 FROM THE HISTORICAL ARCHIVE OF THE NOBILITY IN SPAIN

Summary/Abstract: During the Siege of Belgrade in August 1717, a report was written by an anonymous Spanish officer about the events which had happened during the conquest of the city by the Austrian army. The report was written in Spanish and has been preserved in the Historical Archive of the Nobility in Toledo. The report told about military order, battle operations, and also about names of dead and wounded in the battle. This report presented an important piece of information for Spanish Empire in that moment, because Spain was in hostile relations with the Empire of Charles VI, with which it would go in war the following year. By this report, the Spanish court was informed about the Austrian victory, because the Duke of Osuna, whose family archive this report belonged to, was a well positioned person in the court of Spanish king Philip V.
