Edict of July 1717 revokes prior Edicts on royal succession
A long proclamation from Paris outlines the revocation of the July 1714 Edict and the May 1715 declaration, restoring honors for the Duke du Maine and Count de Toulouse, and clarifying who may claim princes of blood. It orders publication and registration in Paris and asserts sovereignty over succession while ensuring the Crown’s safety. Reports from Belgrade describe siege operations, bridge construction over the Danube, and Turkish forces reinforcing nearby positions as Allied forces prepare further action.
