| Summary: | Mary of Hungary was among the most important European political figures of the first half of the sixteenth century. She exercised political power as the regent of the Netherlands and as a trusted counselor and diplomat for her brother, Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The key to Mary's success was her skillful use of patronage. Through her influence over Habsburg patronage decisions Mary was able to reward faithful service, win over those skeptical or jealous of her power, and establish control over the networks of influence through which sixteenth-century government functioned. |
