TheTruce of Ratisbon, orTruce of Regensburg, concluded theWar of the Reunions, fought by France against Spain and theHoly Roman Empire. The Truce was signed on 15 August 1684 at the Dominican convent inRatisbon (now inBavaria) betweenLouis XIV, the Holy Roman Emperor,Leopold I, and the Spanish King,Charles II. The Spanish crown was involved because of its sovereignty over theSpanish Netherlands, once part of the Holy Roman Empire. The final agreements allowed Louis to retainStrasbourg,Luxembourg, and most other Reunion gains, but he had to hand backCourtrai andDixmude. Luxembourg, Courtrai, and Dixmude were in the Spanish Netherlands, whereas Strasbourg had been afree imperial city. The truce was supposed to last twenty years, but Louis terminated it after four years by declaring war on theDutch Republic on 16 November and byinvading Philippsburg on 27 September 1688, thereby starting theNine Years' War.
