History

Establishment
The Grand Duchy of Tuscany was founded in 1569, when the Pope Pius V declared Duke Cosimo I de' Medici,the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Thus, the House of Medici had been raised to the rank of sovereigns, and Cosimo and his successors would now be addressed as Highness. The grand duchy succeeded the Duchy of Florence, which had been established by Cosimo's predecessor, Alessandro de' Medici (proclaimed Duke by his alleged father, Pope Clement VII). Alessandro was succeeded, by his distant relative Cosimo when he was assassinated in 1537.

Recent History
After Leopold's death in 1792, he was succeeded by Ferdinand III. Ferdinand was the son of the incumbent Grand Duke, and Grand Duchess Maria Louisa Ferdinand was forced out by the French after the Treaty of Aranjuez (1801), becoming instead Elector of Salzburg, ruling the territory of the former Archbishopric.

The Grand Duchy was then dissolved, and replaced by the Kingdom of Etruria under the house of Bourbon-Parma, in compensation for their loss of Duchy of Parma. Etruria was, in its turn, annexed by the French in 1807, becoming the départements of Arno, Méditerranée, and Ombrone.

With the fall of the Napoleonic system in 1814, Ferdinand was restored to the Grand Duchy.
