Yielded to the Holy See
in 1512, Parma is set up in duchy independent by the pope Paul III with the
profit of his nephew Pier Luigi Farnese, whose dynasty lasts until 1731. In
1748, the city and the duchy pass to Philippe de Bourbon.
On March 21,1808, Spain yields the duchies of Parma and Piasanca to France
by the Aranjuez treaty. A senatus-consult of the May 24,1808 joins together
the duchies of Parma and Piasanca to form the French department of Taro. In
1815, the congress of Vienna gives the duchy of Parma on a purely basis for
life with the Mayor-Louise ex-empress.
In 1847, the duchy is given to the Bourbons after the death of Marie-Louise.
In 1860, Parma is attached to Piedmont.

Created
on March 10,1808, the duchy of Parma was constituted on March 24,1808 with
retroactive effect at the January 1,1808.
Cambaceres never come in his
duchy, which was composed of buildings and rural estates confiscated with
the female religious congregations in the Parmesan state. He delegates the
management of these multiple land goods : first of all with the general
Beauregard, director of the the Registry Office in Parma, then with Mr
Allard.
In accordance with the Cambaceres’s instructions, he optimizes the
management of the goods of the duchy, which pay often more than the 150.000
F envisaged by the majorat.
