Which treaty prevented Charles III from holding all three crowns?

  • Treaty of Utrecht

  • Treaty of Versailles

  • Treaty Provisions

  • Treaty of Paris

Answer

The Treaty of Madrid, signed in 1750, effectively prevented Charles III from simultaneously ruling over the Spanish, Neapolitan, and Sicilian thrones. This agreement designated his younger brother, Philip, as the future Duke of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla, and the eventual heir to the thrones of Naples and Sicily upon Charles's accession to the Spanish throne.
