Giuseppe Gonzaga (March 20, 1690 – August 16, 1746) was the last Duke of Guastalla. He was the second son of Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla and Maria Vittoria Gonzaga, and was mentally handicapped. When his elder brother Duke Antonio Ferrante died in an accident in 1729, Giuseppe was the only remaining male member of the Gonzaga family, so he became Duke. Giuseppe would probably never have married, but when he became Duke a marriage was arranged in 1731 with the sixteen-year-old Eleonore von Holstein (1715–1760), daughter of Duke Leopold of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg. The marriage remained childless. During the War of Polish Succession the Duchy was occupied by the French for four years, between 1734 and 1738. When Giuseppe Gonzaga died in 1746, Italy was again a theater of war in the War of Austrian Succession, and the Duchy was annexed by Austria. Two years later, in the Treaty of Aix-La-Chapelle, Guastalla was ceded to the Spanish, together with the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, with which it was merged. ==Ancestry== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giuseppe Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
