By the terms of the peace preliminaries at Vienna, Holy Roman
Emperor Charles VI receives Parma and Piacenza. Don Carlos is to
succeed (as Charles III) to Naples and Sicily, which are, however,
not to be united under one crown with Spain. Charles Emannuel III
of Savoy is to hold Novara and Tortona. France guarantees the
Pragmatic Sanction. Stanislaus renounces his claims to Poland and
is recompensed by a promise of Lorraine when the Grand Duke of
Tuscany dies. The Duke of Lorraine is to receive Tuscany and Bar
when the Grand Duke dies. These myriad agreements are confirmed by
the definitive Treaty of Vienna, which is signed in November 1738.
