listen to the pronunciation of pragmatic sanction
الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية
An edict or decree issued by a sovereign that becomes part of the fundamental law of the land. (1713) Decree by Emperor Charles VI requiring the undivided descent of his Habsburg domains. It stipulated that his heritage go to his eldest son or, in the absence of a son, to his eldest daughter. It became law in 1720 within the Habsburg states, and much of Charles's later reign was directed toward securing acceptance of the sanction from the other European powers. Since his son died soon after birth (1716), his daughter Maria Theresa became his heir. On Charles's death (1740), the sanction was contested by Prussia and Bavaria, which led to the War of the Austrian Succession

Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges
(July 7, 1438) Decree issued by King Charles VII of France after the Council of Basel, confirming the supremacy of a council over the pope. The decree also confirmed the Council's assertion of the "liberties" of the Gallican Church, restricting the rights of the pope and in many cases making his jurisdiction subject to the king's. Revoked by Louis XI in 1461, the Pragmatic Sanction was reasserted periodically until the 16th century
