Here is a Christmas gift idea that should delight scholars and culture enthusiasts. The Annales Monégasques “Historical Review of Monaco”  have unveiled the contents of their 45^th issue. Military history features strongly in this publication from the precious archives of the Prince’s Palace.

In this issue, you’ll find a focus on the military career of Prince Honoré III at the head of the Monaco regiment during the Austrian War of Succession. There is also a study of the lifestyle of soldiers in the Spanish garrison in Monaco. An unpublished testimony recounts their expulsion from the Principality on November 17, 1641.

The magazine also reviews the portrait of Jeanne Grimaldi Trivulce, sister to Honoré II, the two medals struck at the Prince’s Palace at the end of the reign of Prince Honoré V and the library in Lichtenstein castle, part of Princess Florestine of Monaco’s estate.
