&gt; But I didn't study pre 20th century diplomacy anywhere near enough to have a serious opinion on 'best'

Anybody that has a serious opinion on "best" diplomat (or really, best anything) in history probably isn't a student of history. Favourite diplomat, leader, general etc. makes sense, but how on earth are you supposed to compare people doing different things in different times? This isn't Civilization, you don't get a high score after you die.
