The treaties, which were signed at the castle of Rouillé but became known under the name of Versailles, marked what historians call the ‘renversement des alliances’ or the diplomatic revolution.Īlthough rumours about negotiations between the courts of Versailles and Vienna had been going around for some time, the news of the Austro-French understanding sent a shockwave through much of Europe. The second treaty ( 40 CTS 335) inaugurated a defensive alliance between the two great continental powers, with the exclusion of participation in this upcoming war. The first treaty ( 40 CTS 331) ensured the neutrality of Austria in France’s war with Britain, which was about to be formally declared. The agreement consisted of two treaties and seven separate articles, five of which were to be kept secret. On, the French Foreign Minister, Antoine-Louis Rouillé (1689–1761) and the chief negotiator on the French side, François-Joachim de Pierre de Bernis (1715–1794), signed a set of treaties with the Austrian ambassador at the Court of Versailles, Johann Georg Adam Count Starhemberg (1724–1807).
