Silvia Z. Mitchell studies early modern European history, focusing on the Spanish Habsburg monarchy, royal courts, and the political roles of queens and elite women, especially Mariana of Austria's regency for Carlos II of Spain. Her work also examines diplomacy, dynastic marriage networks, and relations between the Spanish and Dutch monarchies from roughly the 16th to 18th centuries. This research draws on archival sources like letters and court records to explore how royal women exercised political power and influence.
