Description

On the death (1733) of Augustus II, Stanislaus returned to Poland from France and was again elected king. Under Russian pressure, a minority of the Polish diet chose instead Augustus III, precipitating the War of the Polish Succession. Stanislaus, besieged at Danzig, received only moral support from France, while his rival was backed by Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI and had full military aid from Russia. Stanislaus was obliged to flee from Danzig in 1734, and in 1735 he accepted the terms of the preliminary Treaty of Vienna. He kept the royal title but renounced his actual rights in favor of Augustus III. In exchange, he received Lorraine and Bar, with the provision that they were to pass directly to the French crown upon his death. The former duke of Lorraine (later Holy Roman Emperor Francis I) was compensated with the promise of Tuscany. Stanislaus' daughter, Maria Leszczynska, was married to Louis XV of France, but because of his many amorous escapades she appeals to the Pop to annul her marriage and he does. She immediately leaves France for Poland. When Stanislaus dies a couple of months later the petty noble of Lorraine declare the agreement of 1733 dissolved and they split the territory between them. But of course France will not look the other way...

Description

In 1733 there had been great conflict in Europe centered on the election of King Stanislaus Leszczynski. Russia and Austria had supported Friedrich Augustus II:s son, but he lost the election. War had been close and several plans had been discussed to secure peace for all. One was that Friedrich Augustus II:s son got the throne and Stanislaus would have been compensated with Lorraine. However that situation never materialized and when François III Stephan of Lorraine married Maria-Theresia of Austria the lands of Lorraine would be inherited by their eldest son, Josef.
