Duchy of Mantua

The Gonzaga state of Mantua: a lordship (capitanato) from Luigi Gonzaga's coup of 1328, a marquisate from 1433 and a duchy from 1530. After the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628–1631) it passed to the Gonzaga-Nevers; Austria annexed it in 1708 when Ferdinando Carlo sided with France.
