Trade and mobility in the Iberian Atlantic have produced a growing body of scholarship. Only recently has the integration of other European regions into the emerging Atlantic world become a prominent topic. At the time when Spain and Portugal founded their Atlantic empires, Europe was divided by political and religious conflicts. However, Iberian ports like Lisbon and Seville attracted merchants from across Europe, including those from rivalling powers and religious others. Spanish and Portuguese merchants, adventurers, diplomats, and soldiers not only advanced into remote areas of America and Asia, but also frequented trading centres, princely courts, and battlefields in central and northern Europe. Against this backdrop, this workshop aims to explore the connections and entanglements between two regions traditionally viewed separately: the North and Baltic Seas and the Iberian Atlantic.
