Louis I of Etruria

1773–1803 · 18th century · Also known as Louis of Parma

Louis I was the first king of Etruria, a son of Duke Ferdinand of Parma. Under the Franco-Spanish agreements of 1800–1801, Napoleon gave him the former Grand Duchy of Tuscany as the Kingdom of Etruria in exchange for his family's claim to Parma. He ruled from 1801 until his death in 1803, when his young son Charles Louis succeeded under his mother's regency.
