NOTE: Because of his marriage to the daughter of the last Habsburg emperor, he became the Austrian candidate for the emperor's throne; he had already renounced the duchies of Lorraine and Bar in 1736 as part of an international treaty aimed at keeping the balance of power; in return, he succeeded in 1737 as Grand Duke of Tuscany; after the Austrian and Hungarian troops fended off the French and Bavarians [the Prussians were satisfied with taking Silesia], Francis was crowned as Emperor Franz I Stefan in 1745.
