Margaret Theresa of Spain and her arrival to the Apennine Peninsula in 1666 viewed by a contemporary eyewitness
 KŘÍŽ, Ondřej
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the cross-country journey of Margaret Theresa of Spain from Madrid to Vienna in 1666. The work primarily focuses on the reflection of the daily life of Emperor Leopold I's wife during her travel. Together with the baroque performance practice, long-distance journeys represent the integral part of travels of King Philip IV´s younger daughter. The essential of the thesis is built on the archival records of Joseph de Villarroell´s Relacion diaria de la iornada de la Senora Emperatriz: desde que desembarcó en el Final, hastaque salió de Lombardia published in 1667 in Milan. This Margaret Theresa's detailed diary, written in Spanish, had been compiled by one of the independent eyewitnesses and active participants of the above mentioned expedition. The thesis also attempts to conjure a vivid image of Margaret Theresa and Luis de Guzmán Ponce de León, Spanish governor of the Duchy of Milan, in the figurative speech of the above mentioned performances.
