TheTreaty of Conflans (or thePeace of Conflans) was signed on 5 October 1465 between KingLouis XI of France andCount Charles of Charolais.[1] This treaty was signed months after theBattle of Montlhéry (13 July 1465), where the French dukes ofAlençon,Burgundy,Berry,Bourbon andLorraine fought King Louis to a standstill.[2]
The dukes forced King Louis to sign the agreement,[3] which officially ended theLeague of the Public Weal. Based on the terms of the treaty,Normandy was restored to theDuke of Berry[3] and Burgundy reclaimed theSomme towns, Boulogne and Ponthieu.[1] The treaty confirmed female inheritance for Macon, Auxerre, Bar-sur-Seine, Boulogne, and the Somme.[3]
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]
