Abstract
Alexander (Maurus) Horn was a monk, book agent, secret agent and diplomat in a time of great
upheaval. Due to his activities at the Diet in Regensburg, he became persona non grata and had to
operate underground for many months. He had a key role in a British information-gathering network.
Looking at history through his lens, one leaves the negotiating tables of high diplomacy and dives
into the world of seemingly secondary actors in European diplomacy.
