This collection brings to light three accounts on the Holy Roman Empire and Denmark during the second half of the sixteenth century. Written by two Englishmen and one Scot, these works demonstrate the depth of diplomacy as carried out by highly specialized representatives, the complexity of politics in the Empire, and the volatile but crucial role played by religion in international relations during a period of conflict.

«'Gehring's writing style is crisp and meticulous, and though he acknowledges existing scholarship in the field of diplomatic intelligence, he does not let this cloud his own analysis of the texts. This book is technically sound, and the author provides a fine historical study that poses and answers much-needed questions in the field of diplomatic intelligence studies … a critically astute study that is dense and methodical in its research, and clear in its argument.' Dannielle Shaw, European History Quarterly»
