BARRIER TREATY

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 436 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARRIER TREATY , the name given first to the treaty signed on 29th of October 1709 between
Great
  Britain and the states-general of the United Netherlands, by which the latter engaged to guarantee the
Protestant
  succession in England in favour of the
house
  of Hanover; while
Great
  Britain undertook to procure for the Dutch an adequate barrier on the side of the Netherlands, consisting of the towns of Furnes,
Nieuport
 , Ypres, Menin, Lille, Tournai,
Conde
 , Valenciennes, Maubeuge, Charleroi, Namur,
Halle
 , Damme, Dendermond and the citadel of
Ghent
 . The treaty was based on the same principle of securing Holland against French aggression that had inspired that of Ryswick in 1698, by the terms of which the
chief
  frontier fortresses of the Netherlands were to be garrisoned by Dutch troops. A second Barrier Treaty was signed between Great Britain and Holland on 29th of January 1713, by which the strong places designed for the barrier were reduced to Furnes, the fort of Knocke, Ypres, Menin, Tournai, Mons, Charleroi and the citadel of
Ghent
 , and certain fortresses in the neighbourhood of that city and of Bruges; Great Britain undertaking to obtain the right for the Dutch to garrison them from the future sovereign of the Spanish Netherlands. Itsterns were included in the treaty of
Rastatt
 , between the emperor and France, signed on the 7th of March 1714. A third Barrier Treaty was signed in November 1715.
