Treaty of Arras (1435)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Arras in 1435 was an important diplomatic achievement for the French in the closing years of the Hundred Years' War. It reconciled a longstanding feud between King Charles VII of France and Philip, Duke of Burgundy. By breaking the alliance between Burgundy and England, Charles VII consolidated his position as monarch of France against a rival claim by Henry VI of England.
The political distinction between Armagnacs and Burgundians ceased to be significant from this time onward. France already had Scotland as an ally. England was left isolated. From 1435 onward English occupation in France underwent steady decline.
