Treaty of Tordesillas (1524)

The Treaty of Tordesillas was signed in Burgos in 1524. The treaty placed Monaco under the protection of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, as an imperial fief. As a consequence, the Lord of Monaco became subservient to Charles as his vassal.

For the treaty of 1494 dividing the unclaimed world between Portugal and Spain, see Treaty of Tordesillas.

Thus, the Lord of Monaco was required to give feudal homage, but Lucien I of Monaco requested that requirement be removed from the treaty and obtained for the final proclamation of November 1524 to recognise the autonomy of Monaco.
