1771 map of Lorraine and Alsace byRigobert BonneArmorial of the members of the Sovereign Court of Lorraine and BarroisKingLouis XV (r. 1715–1774) had negotiated at the preliminaries of Vienna in 1735 "an arrangement by whichFrancis [III, Duke of Lorraine] received theduchy of Tuscany [...] in exchange for Lorraine, and Stanislaus Leszczynski, the dethroned king of Poland and father-in-law of Louis XV., obtained Lorraine, which after his death would pass to his daughter—in other words, to France."[2] The following year (1736), "by a secret agreement," Stanisław had "abandoned the financial administration of his estates to Louis XV. for a yearly subsidy."[2] Both treaties, however, guaranteed the legislation of Lorraine and Barrois, "the privileges enjoyed by the three orders, and their common law and customs tariffs, which they retained until the French Revolution."[2]
Meanwhile, theThree Bishoprics formed a little government.[2]
Barroismouvant (composed of the bailiwicks of Bar and Bassigny) was under the jurisdiction of theParlement of Paris whereas Barroisnon-mouvant (i.e. the Bailiwick of Saint-Mihiel) and Lorraine were subject to the Sovereign Court of Lorraine and Barrois,[3] which became theParliament of Nancy in 1776. There was also achambre des comptes atBar-le-Duc.[2]
