Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Monaco : History Founded in 1215 as a colony of Genoa, Monaco has been governed by the House of Grimaldi since 1297, except when under French control from 1789 to 1814. Designated as a protectorate of Sardinia from 1815 until 1860 by the Treaty of Vienna, Monaco's sovereignty was recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861. The Prince of Monaco was an absolute ruler until a constitution was published in 1911. In July 1918, a treaty was signed providing for limited French protection over Monaco. The treaty, formally famous in the Treaty of Versailles, accomplished that Monegasque policy would be aligned with French political, military, and economic interests. Prince Rainier III, the ruler of Monaco, acceded to the throne following the death of his grandfather, Prince Louis II, in 1949. The heir apparent, Prince Albert, was born in 1958. A new constitution, proclaimed in 1962, abolished capital punishment, provided for female vote, and accomplished a Supreme Court to guarantee fundamental liberties. In 1993, Monaco became an official member of the United Nations with full voting rights. Albania Maps Andorra Maps Armenia Maps Austria Maps ... AskBabyNames @ 2008 MapZones

A.D. In the 7th cent. it was part of the kingdom of the Lombards , and in the 8th cent. of the kingdom of Arles . It was under Muslim domination (8th cent.) after the Saracens invaded France. Monaco was ruled by the Genovese Grimaldi family from the 13th cent. In 1731 the male line died out, but the French Goyon-Matignon family, which succeeded by marriage, assumed the name Grimaldi. Monaco was under Spanish protection from 1542 to 1641, under French protection from 1641 to 1793, annexed to France in 1793, and under Sardinian protection from 1815 to 1861. The districts of Menton and Roquebrune (long part of Monaco) were incorporated (1848) into Sardinia, which in turn ceded them to France in 1860. Monaco again came under French protection in 1861. In the late 1800s income from gambling by very wealthy visitors became Monaco's primary source of revenue. Until 1911, when the first constitution was promulgated, the prince was an absolute ruler.

About Monaco Weather How to get there Le Club ... Home About Monaco History History Monaco has a colorful and fascinating history filled with barbarians, kings and even a movie star. It is a story of castles, epic battles and untold riches. The Grimaldi ascent began one night in 1297, when Francois Grimaldi seized the fortress of Monaco from a rival Italian faction. Disguised as a monk, he successfully led a small army into the fortress reclaiming it in the name of the Pope. The legacy of his daring victory is recorded on Monaco's coat of arms, which bears two monks brandishing swords. Over the next few centuries, Monaco prospered as an important port in major maritime trading routes and as a strategic naval base for European military powers that were constantly vying for control of The Rock. In 1604, Lord Honore II came to the throne and launched Monaco into its "Great Century". Reflecting upon his accomplishments, he deigned himself worthy of a new title, Prince Honore II. Grimaldi rules have proudly held the title of Prince ever since. The French revolution took a heavy toll on European royalty, including the Grimaldis. Monaco was annexed by France and members of the Monegasque royal family were imprisoned. The annexation was cut short with the abdication of Napoleon in 1814, however, and all rights of the Grimadis were restored.

Monaco/History - Definition Monoikos was a Greek colony founded the 6th century B.C. by Phocaeans of Massilia in today's area of Monaco. Previously a tribe of the native Ligurians, settled in the interior, were called the Monoikos Hercules , venerated in this location alone as Hercules Monoecus. According to the "travels of Hercules" mytheme that was noted by Diodorus Siculus and by Strabo the geographer, both Greeks and native Ligurian people asserted that Hercules passed through the area. Virgil called it "that castled cliff, Monoecus by the sea" ( Aeneid , VI.830). The commentator Servius' use of the passage (in R. Maltby, Lexicon of Ancient Latin Etymologies, Leeds) asserts, under the entry portus, that the epithet was derived: dictus autem Monoecus vel quod pulsis omnibus illic solus habitavit ("either because Hercules drove off everyone else and lived there alone"), vel quod in eius templo numquam aliquis deorum simul colitur ("or because in his temple no other of the gods is worshipped at the same time"). (No actual temple to Hercules has been located at Monaco; see also Lucan The port is mentioned in Pliny 's Natural History (III.v) and in
