Abstract (en)

With the aid of correspondence from Sir William Hamilton to Sir Joseph Banks, reveals the fate of the diamond-studded ceremonial sword consigned by Charles V Bourbon, king of Naples, to his son Ferdinand IV in 1759, when Charles abdicated the throne of Naples in order to become king of Spain: in 1799, it was given by Ferdinand to Lord Nelson, in gratitude for the English defense of his throne. Cites other precious objects (goldwork and jewelry) given to the English forces at the same time. Publishes documents (1764-1773) attesting to Ferdinand's custom of presenting such gifts to departing foreign ambassadors.
