Traditionally, there had been a dual aspect to monarchy that merged dynastic and state interests.

This included foreign policy, which thenceforward pursued national interests that did not always agree with dynastic ones.

Firstly, I trace the breaking of the Bourbon alliance which had been dominant in the eighteenth century and its unsettled reconfiguration into the worldwide system created by the Congress of Vienna. I then discuss the complex imposition of the nation-state interest over the dynastic one in a time of deep ideological division – between constitutional and absolutist systems – and traumatic revolutions that overthrew Bourbon monarchs.
