eng Beatriz de Cardona y Amaro Méndez ¿Como parte de la red de agentes de Franz von Dietrichstein en la corte de Madrid? Cardinal Franz of Dietrichstein and his sister Beatriz de Cardona came from a mixed marriage, her father was Adam of Dietrichstein, the imperial ambassador to Spain, and her mother was Margarita de Cardona. Francisco and Beatriz grew up in Central Europe, but in the Spanish spirit, so Spanish became their main language. After the death of Adam of Dietrichstein, Margarita decided to return to the monarchy of Spain with her daughter Beatriz, who married Luis Hurtago de Mendoza, IV Marquis of Mondejar. The siblings certainly kept in touch during their separation, but only letters from 1614 to 1631 have survived. Francis considered himself a subject of the Emperor and the King of Spain. The correspondence between brother and sister is not purely familial, but also contains aspects of contact between patrons and clients. Beatriz's role in Dietrichstein's network of agents in the Spanish monarchy was crucial. She decided on important moves, recommended proven individuals to the cardinal, and, together with her assistant Amaro Mendez, prepared letters of intercession for the Spanish king. She also very often sought the intercession of members and other high officials of the kingdom. She worked closely with Baltasar de Zúñiga, Cardinal Antonio Zapata, Duke of Benavente and others. Mendez very quickly became another agent in Dietrichstein's network. He informed not only about news from the Iberian Peninsula but also from the overseas colonies and took care of the account of the Encomienda of the Order of Calatrava, which was located near Córdoba on the river Guadalquivir. agentes; Beatriz de Cardona; Franz von Dietrichstein; Amaro Mendez
