Charles III (Emperor Charles VI) was crowned in Pressburg in 1712. In 1723 the Hungarian Diet meeting in Pressburg accepted the Pragmatic Sanction, allowing female succession and binding Hungary to the Habsburg lands. His reign brought peace and the resettlement of depopulated southern Hungary, with Slovak colonists moving south to the Lowlands.
