Treaty,
Signed at Madrid, 4 March, 1801, by the Prince of Peace and Lucian Bonaparte

The First Consul of the French republic and his Catholic Majesty, desirous of permanently determining the terms which the son of the Infant of Parma shall receive, as an equivalent for the Duchy of Parma, have agreed to the following articles, and have named as plenipotentiaries, by the First Consul Lucian Bonaparte, Ambassador from the French republic, and by his Catholic Majesty, the Prince of Peace, who have determined on the following articles:

Art. I. The reigning Duke of Parma forever renounces both for himself and heirs, the Duchy of Parma, with all its dependencies, in favor of the French republic; the renunciation of which shall be guaranteed by his Catholic Majesty. The Grand Duchy of Tuscany, which the Grand Duke also renounces the cession of which is guaranteed by the Emperor of Germany, shall be given to the son of the Duke of Parma, as an indemnification for the countries ceded by the Infant, his father, and in consequence of a treaty which had been previously concluded between his Catholic Majesty and the French republic.

II. The Prince of Parma shall repair to Florence, where he shall be acknowledged as sovereign of all the possessions appertaining to the Grand Duchy, and shall receive from the hands of the constituted authorities, the keys of the forts and the oath of fidelity which they owe him in his character of sovereign. The authority of the First Consul will contribute to the peaceable execution of these acts.

III. The Prince shall be acknowledged King of Tuscany, with all the honors appertaining to his rank; the First Consul will acknowledge and will have him treated as such by the other powers. The arrangements necessary for this purpose shall be made previous to his taking possession.

IV. That part of the Isle of Elba which belongs to Tuscany, and is dependent on that state, shall remain in the power of the French Republic and the First Consul shall give as an indemnity for it, to the King of Tuscany, the country of Pombino, which appertains to the King of Naples.

V. As this treaty derives its origin from that which has been concluded by the First Consul with his Catholic Majesty, by which the King cedes to France the possession of Louisiana, the contracting parties agree to execute the articles of the anterior treaty; and to employ their respective power in the adjustment of the differences therein mentioned.

VI. As the new house, which is thus established in Tuscany is of the family of Spain, these states shall be forever the property of Spain, and there shall be called to the throne an Infant of that family. If the reigning King or his children shall not have heirs, the sons of the reigning King of Spain shall succeed to these states.

VII. The First Consul, and his Catholic Majesty, agree to obtain for the reigning Duke of Parma, in consideration of the renunciation he has made in favor of his son, just indemnities, either in possessions or revenues.

VIII. The present treaty shall be ratified and exchanged in three weeks.

(Signed)
LUCIAN BONAPARTE.
PRINCE OF PEACE.
