Treaty of Fontainebleau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Fontainebleau refers to a number of agreements signed at Fontainebleau, France, often at the Château de Fontainebleau:
- October 24, 1745 creating a military alliance between Louis XV of France and Charles Edward Stuart.
- The Treaty of Fontainebleau (1762) is the secret agreement in which France ceded Louisiana Territory to Spain prior to the Treaty of Paris (1763) but which was implemented in 1764.
- October 27, 1807 signed between Spain and France, defined the occupation of Portugal and proposed the division of the country into three kingdoms as a result of the Peninsular War - the Kingdom of Northern Lusitania, Portugal (reduced in size) and the Algarve (expanded to include Alentejo).
- April 11, 1814 exiling Napoleon Bonaparte as the Emperor of Elba, with an income of 2,000,000 francs a year from France.
It should not be confused with the Edict of Fontainebleau (October 1685), an edict issued by Louis XIV of France, best known as the "Revocation of the Edict of Nantes" of 1598 (which had granted to the Huguenots the right to worship their religion without persecution from the state).
