Description (What the record is about)
-
Count Sinzendorff to Marlborough: Marlborough will have heard from the conference in Barcelona to discuss the abandonment of Catalonia. The marquis of Rofrano described the gravity of the situation to the emperor [Joseph I], who decided to send the 3,000 men in Naples to Catalonia immediately, and intends to send another 3,000 from Lombardy provided that the queen, or the queen and the Dutch, contribute to the costs of transport and subsistence. This would mean that the 20,000 men for Prince Eugene would be incomplete. It has been decided to send 5,000 or 6,000 men to attack the coast of Valencia. Unless all his conditions were met, the emperor [Joseph I] would not send the latter force, but leave a garrison in Madrid and withdraw the king [Charles III] and queen. The conquest of Sardinia and Mahon would not suffice to support the army. This is not intended to undervalue the importance of operations in Flanders. Dated in Vienna. PS. on the agreement between the pope [Clement XI] and the emperor [Joseph I] and the arrival of Prince Eugene. ff. 302, 303
