Treaty of Conflans

1465 treaty between France and Count Charles of Charolais From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Conflans (or the Peace of Conflans) was signed on 5 October 1465 between King Louis XI of France and Count Charles of Charolais.[1] This treaty was signed months after the Battle of Montlhéry (13 July 1465), where the French dukes of Alençon, Burgundy, Berry, Bourbon and Lorraine fought King Louis to a standstill.[2]

Details

The dukes forced King Louis to sign the agreement,[3] which officially ended the League of the Public Weal. Based on the terms of the treaty, Normandy was restored to the Duke of Berry[3] and Burgundy reclaimed the Somme towns, Boulogne and Ponthieu.[1] The treaty confirmed female inheritance for Macon, Auxerre, Bar-sur-Seine, Boulogne, and the Somme.[3]

Aftermath

Months later, King Louis declared to the Parlement at Paris that the treaties of Conflans and Saint Maur were null and void, having been signed under duress.[4] Consequently, Louis would attempt to avoid the treaty, as well as to split the French dukes by diplomatic means.[5]
