The memoir offers a detailed portrayal of the courts of Spain, France, and other nations, detailing the intrigues and events that shaped Europe during this period. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to a rich tapestry of political maneuverings in Europe, particularly focusing on the tensions following the significant battles and diplomatic relationships established during the 1718-1719 period. Pöllnitz recounts events such as the successful campaigns against the Turks led by Prince Eugene, Spain's military ventures in Sicily, and the unrest at the court of France, including a conspiracy against the regent.
