What is House of Bourbon-Parma?
The '''Bourbons of Parma''' are a royal family who ruled the [[Duchy of Parma]] from 1748 till 1860 when [[Italy]] was created. The family was founded by the [[Philip, Duke of Parma|Infante Philip of Spain]], third son of [[Philip V of Spain]] and [[Elisabetta Farnese]]. The [[Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748)]] ended the [[War of the Austrian Succession]], and gave the land to Philip. Philip married [[Louise Élisabeth of France]] and the present pretending duke of Parma (Carlos/Carlo of Parma) is a direct descendant. The duchy was taken by the [[House of Savoy]] when the state of [[Italy]] was created. {{Europe-stub}} [[Category:Bourbons of Parma| ]] [[Category:Dukes and Duchesses of Parma]]
