Historical background
DUCHY OF LORRAINE - LEOPOLD I
(1690/7-1729)
Leopold I (1679-1729) was the son of Charles V (1642-1690) and Eleanor of Austria (1653-1697). He recovers the duchy of Lorraine after the congress of Ryswick on October 30, 1697 and marries Charlotte d'Orléans (1676-1744), the daughter of Philippe, the brother of Louis XIV, in 1698. François Ier (1708-1765) succeeds his father in 1729, but abdicated the duchy of Lorraine in 1737, married Marie-Thérèse and became emperor of the Holy Empire from 1745.
