Treaty of Seville (1729)

Treaty of Seville (1729)

The Treaty of Seville was signed on November 9 1729 between Great Britain, France, and Spain, concluding the Anglo-Spanish War (1727).

William Stanhope and Sir Robert Walpole participated in the negotiations. Stanhope was rewarded for his services and became Baron Harrington in January of 1730. Moreover, Walpole rewarded Stanhope by making him the Secretary of State for the Northern Department.

Based on the terms of the treaty, Britain maintained control of Port Mahon and Gibraltar. In return, Britain supported the claim of Isabella Farnese, Queen of Spain to the Duchy of Parma, after the death of Antonio Farnese, Duke of Parma.
