Pragmatic Sanction Proclaimed
April 19, 1713
Emperor Charles VI, lacking a male heir, promulgated a decree allowing his eldest daughter to inherit the Habsburg lands. He would spend the next twenty-seven years bribing and badgering the courts of Europe to accept it. At his death they would mostly tear the paper up, and Maria Theresa would fight.
