April 2018, Toledo. In the enormous Renaissance Palace of the Hospital de Tavera, the Ducal Archives of Medinaceli. The archivist left me alone in a small reading room with huge piles of #earlymodern documents, reports, and letters from The 9th Duke of Medinaceli, Spanish ambassador to Rome.

Gravestone of Renata Baldauf
An unlikely place to find my late grandfather’s second cousine, Renata Baldauf’s grave, and also meet her wonderful family, incl. my fourth cousins. A complex Eastern European family history from the small Hungarian town of Békéscsaba through Transylvania to Schöneiche bei Berlin. #familyhistory

A precious addition to my private archive: a kind note of appreciation from Arturo Sosa, Superior General of the Jesuits, regarding my book on the Hungarian Jesuits. I was genuinely touched — it really meant a lot to me.

My new book“The Court of Chameleons” has been published this summer. It explores the transformation of Holy See–Habsburg diplomatic relations during the papacy of Innocent XII (1691–1700) and the liberation of Hungary from the Ottoman rule – for now, only in Hungarian.

Today is a tragic day for #Hungary: we have reached the level of Putin’s Russia. We are now witnessing the death of a dream — the betrayal of a democratic legacy born in 1956 and fulfilled in 1990.
