The Treaty of Utrecht is the general name of a series of treaties which in 1713 and 1714 concluded the war of the Spanish succession. Philip of Spain renounced claim to the French throne. Louis XIV recognised the protestant succession in England and undertook to give no more help to the Stuarts. He also ceded Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, St Kitts and the Hudson Bay Territory. Spain ceded Gibraltar and Minorca and interests to the Slave Trade. The treaties were bitterly assailed by the whigs and after the accession of George I Bolingbroke, Oxford, Ormonde and Strafford were impeached for it.
