Treaty of Fontainebleau (1814)

Peace Treaties and Territorial Settlements

The Treaty of Fontainebleau was concluded on 11 April 1814 between Napoleon and representatives of Austria, Russia and Prussia, the allied powers that had just defeated him, and was ratified by Napoleon on 13 April. It stripped Napoleon of his authority over France and Italy, though he kept the title of emperor, and it exiled him to the island of Elba, which became a small sovereign principality under his rule, with an allowance of four hundred personal guards and a pension of two million francs. His wife Marie Louise was granted the duchies of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, while the rest of his family was permanently barred from holding power in France. The treaty marked Napoleon's first abdication and ended his domination of Europe, and it set the stage for the territorial settlement that the allied powers would formalize the following year at the Congress of Vienna.
