305 years ago, on April 11, 1713, in the Dutch city of Utrecht, a peace treaty was signed following the War of Spanish Succession between France and Spain on the one hand and England, the Dutch Republic, the Holy Roman Empire (Austria), Portugal and Savoy - on the other. Philip V of the Bourbon dynasty renounced all rights to the French throne and was recognized as king of Spain and its colonies on the condition that the king of Spain would never be king of France at the same time.
