GODOI, PRINCE DE LA PAIX.

17671851.


AFTER forming a part of the treasure of Charles IV., the Sancy was given to Godoi, Prince de la Paix, whose son offered it for sale to Louis XVIII. in 1822, but the King declined the purchase, and he afterwards, in 1828, sold it to Prince Demidoff for 600,000 francs.
