Description

Upon the death of Duke Charles in 1431, his Duchy became a target of struggle between the French King Charles VII and duke Philippe III of Burgundy.

This was disputed, however, by the male line heir Antoine, count of Vaudémont and nephew of Duke Charles. King Charles supported René d'Anjou with an army, but on the 2. July 1431 René lost to Antoine in the battle of Bugnéville and was imprisoned. His wife Isabella finally managed to negotiate for his ransom, and René was finally released after five years of capture.

Description

In June 1584 the King's younger brother and heir appararent the duke of Anjou died, and with him died the hope many Frenchman had placed on his succession to the throne. Henry III had no son and was unlikely ever to have one. This left Henry of Navarre as heir, thereby raising the spectre that the next King of France might be a heretic. In September 1584 Henry duke of Guise and his brothers the duke of Mayenne and the Cardinal of Guise met at Nancy and founded league to keep Navarre off the throne. Philip II signed a treaty with the new League, and military operations began at once. By the end of the year, much of north and central France was under Guise control, and France was once again at war. Dynastically tied to the house of Lorraine, the Guise family held considerably sway with the Duke.

Description

On the death (1733) of Augustus II, Stanislaw 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. Stanislaw, 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. Stanislaw 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. Stanislaw' daughter, Maria Leszczynska, was married to Louis XV of France, but because of his many amorous escapades she appeals to the Pope to annul her marriage and he does. She immediately leaves France for Poland. When Stanislaw 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...
