The war for the mantuan succession

-

The war for the mantuan succession of 1628-1631 was a conflict of descent in the Duchy of Mantua after the death of the main line of the duke Gonzaga in 1627.

On December 22, 1612, at the age of 26, Prince Mantua and Monferrato Francis IV Gonzaga died. The ruler did not leave a male offspring, only a 3-year-old daughter Maria. His younger brothers Ferdinando Gonzaga (1587-1626) and Vincento Gonzaga (1594-1627), a member of the clerical state (Ferinando had been a cardinal since 1605, Vincento became a priest in 1615) followed Francesca by adopting a princely state and marrying. Their attempts to save the dynasty ended in failure.

Vincenzo II Gonzaga died on December 25, 1627, at the age of 33, on the day his 18-year-old niece Maria married distant relative Carlo II Gonzaga of the French duke Nevers and Rathel. This caused a dynastic problem, as Carlo represented only the side line of the Gonzaga family.

Emperor Ferdinand II, who had married the sister of three princes Eleonora Gonzaga five years ago, sought to win Mantua as a fiefdom and to merge the Gonzales and Guastalles from Spain. Carl's demands were supported by France, which threatened to increase the Habsburg dissatisfaction. The Emperor supported the Savoy, whose ruler Prince Emanuel I intended to win the Montferrat.

Misconceptions prompted France to send its troops under the command of Jean de Saint Bonnet de Toiras to Upper Italy. In 1630 the prince managed to capture Mantua. However, the conflict broke off Sweden's involvement in the Thirty Years War, which drew Ferdinand's attention to another war square. On April 6, 1631, Carlo Gonzaga entered into a peace agreement with the emperor in Cherasco. Savoy received part of the Montferrat, but was forced to give the French the Pinerolo fortress.
