This paper focuses on the role of clientelism and patronage in the political and cultural communication process between the court of Brussels and the Kingdom of Bohemia at the time of the Thirty Years' War. Based on the correspondence of Cardinal Franz von Dietrichstein preserved in the Regional Archive of Moravia in Brno, we will analyse the activities carried out by his informants from the Flanders area: Guillermo Verdugo and Martin Somogyi. While the former, a colonel in the Spanish army and governor of the Rhenish Palatinate, reported to Dietrichstein on matters of war, Baron Somogyi was a member of Archduke Albert's household and served Dietrichstein as a defender of his private interests at the archducal court. The study therefore belongs to the recent lines of historiographical research on the court, the phenomenon of agents, patronage, and clientelism. ; El objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar el papel de las relaciones clientelares en el proceso de la comunicación política y cultural entre la corte de Bruselas y el Reino de Bohemia en la época de la guerra de los Treinta Años. A través del epistolario del cardenal Francisco de Dietrichstein, conservado en el Archivo Regional de Moravia en Brno, analizaremos las actividades desarrolladas por sus informadores de la zona de Flandes: Guillermo Verdugo y Martin Somogyi. Mientras que el primer mencionado, coronel del ejército español y gobernador del Palatinado Renano, informaba a Dietrichstein sobre los asuntos de guerra, el barón Somogyi era miembro de la casa del archiduque Alberto y servía a Dietrichstein como defensor de sus intereses particulares en la corte archiducal. De este modo, se inscribe dentro de una reciente línea de investigación historiográfica sobre la corte, el fenómeno de los agentes y las redes clientelares.
