Archaeologists uncover Schmalkaldic War burials for the first time, matching details in a 1551 painting. Archaeologists from the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation (BLfD) have discovered five burials east of Lauingen, Germany, providing evidence regarding the Danube campaign of the Schmalkaldic War (1546-1547). This is the first archaeological evidence of Emperor Charles V’s military activity in the area, which also correlates interestingly with details depicted in a 1551 painting.

Lena argued that the peace congress didn’t function as a special hub for the exchange of goods between the Austrian and the Spanish Habsburgs; they had their permanent ambassadors at the courts that dealt with this kind of exchange. But nonetheless the peace congress was a place of exchange, especially of food. For the Imperial estates the congress offered an unusual opportunity to get into contact to the greater European powers. Among others there did this by offering gifts, especially food. The count of Oldenburg e.g. gave away huge amounts of meat and fish and other delicacies in order to enhance his interests. (5/7)
