Great Britain, France, and Spain on November…
November 1729 CE
Great Britain, France, and Spain on November 9, 1729, sign the Treaty of Seville, concluding the Anglo-Spanish War.
Preliminary discussions had already taken place between Britain and Spain at the Convention of Pardo and the Congress of Soissons.
Most of the clauses signed at Seville had been agreed at those conferences.
William Stanhope and Sir Robert Walpole participates in the negotiations.
Stanhope, for his services in this matter, will be created Baron Harrington in January 1730.
Moreover, Walpole will reward Stanhope by making him the Secretary of State for the Northern Department.
Based on the terms of the treaty, Britain maintains control of Port Mahon and Gibraltar.
In return, Britain supports the claim of Isabella Farnese, Queen of Spain, to the Duchy of Parma, after the death of Antonio Farnese, Duke of Parma.
King Philip V of Spain and his wife Elisabeth Farnese, while in Seville to oversee the contract, have a child Maria Antonietta of Spain, who is born a week after the signing of the treaty.
