List of Dukes of Parma
- List of Dukes of Parma
The
Duchy of Parma was a small Italian state between 1545 and 1802, and again from 1814 to 1860.The Duke of
Parma was also Duke ofPiacenza , except for the first years of the rule ofOttavio Farnese (1549–1556), and the time of theNapoleonic wars , when the two were established as separate positions held by two individuals. TheDuke of Parma also usually held the title of Duke ofGuastalla from 1735 (when Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor took it from Mantua) to 1847 (when the territory was ceded to Modena), again, except for the Napoleonic dukes, whenNapoleon 's sister Pauline was Duchess of Guastalla.The position is currently held by a member of the Bourbon family, which also holds the Spanish throne. Therefore, the Duke of Parma is a legitimate (though not prime) claimant to the Kingdom of
Spain ; indeed, the current Duke of Parma, Carlos-Hugo, was apretender to the Spanish throne in the 1970s (seeCarlism ).Reigning Dukes of Parma (1545-1802)
