List of British envoys in Bavaria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the British envoys , plenipotentiary ministers and ministerial resident in Bavaria (1692-1914). The official title of the highest diplomatic representative of the British Crown in Bavaria was until 1871: "Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to His British Majesty"; After the establishment of the German Empire , the United Kingdom only appointed chargé d'affaires (until 1890) or ministerial resident (until 1914) as head of the embassy in Munich .

history

As early as the 17th century, British and later British ambassadors were accredited to the permanent Reichstag in Regensburg (from 1662) also to the electoral court in Munich .

On August 11, 1750, the Hanoverian Elector and British King George II , the Bavarian Elector Maximilian III. Joseph and the States General of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces (also "the Netherlands") signed the Hanover Treaty . The contract regulated on the one hand an extension of a leasing contract for hired Bavarian auxiliaries , which had already been concluded in 1746 , on the other hand, the voting vote of Maximilian III. Joseph ceded (against subsidies ) until July 1756 .

During the Napoleonic Wars there was a break in diplomatic relations from 1804 to 1814.
