Treaty of Vienna (1738)
The Treaty of Vienna of 1738 ended the War of the Polish Succession. Augustus III was recognised as king of Poland, while his rival Stanisław Leszczyński received the Duchy of Lorraine, to pass to France after his death. Lorraine's duke, Francis Stephen, husband of Maria Theresa, was compensated with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany on the extinction of the Medici, and Naples and Sicily went to the Spanish Bourbon prince Charles.
