DESCRIPTION:Consorts of premodern Europe supported their husbands in rulin
 g the territory\, conducting dynastic politics\, and organising the family
  and household. Juliane of Nassau-Dillenburg (1587–1643)\, a grandniece 
 of William of Orange\, fulfilled this role since her marriage to Maurice\,
  Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel in the Holy Roman Empire in 1603. But in 1624\,
  she publicly challenged her husband of more than 20 years. Juliane wrote 
 an apologia – a memorandum or indictment – accusing Maurice of overspe
 nding\, acting against the advice of his wife and councillors in matters o
 f the Empire and Hesse\, threatening the security of their lands and their
  dynasty\, and opposing any agreement with the Hessian estates. She also r
 efused to accept her husband’s physical and mental abuse\, and made her 
 emotional state publicly known. The talk analyses this unusual early moder
 n text regarding its political and private dimensions.\nSpeakers:\nCharlot
 te Backerrra (University of Göttingen)
