Treaty of Senlis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Senlis was signed at Senlis in May of 1493 between representatives of the Holy Roman Empire (Maximilian I) and France (King Charles VIII). Based on the terms of the treaty, all hostilities between France and the Netherlands were officially over. Moreover, the Duchy of Burgundy, the County of Artois, Picardy, and the Low Countries were relinquished to the House of Habsburg in Austria. Franche-Comté were among the territories ceded to Austria. However, France was still able to retain powerful legal claims and outposts in both Artois and Flanders.[1]
