Peace of Etaples
1492Nov, 3

Peace of Etaples between Henry VII of England and Charles VIII of France.

The Peace of Étaples was signed on 3 November 1492 in Étaples between Charles VIII of France and Henry VII of England. Charles agreed to end his support for the Yorkist Pretender Perkin Warbeck, in return for being recognised as ruler of the Duchy of Brittany.

The agreement ended an English invasion of France, launched in response to French support for the Yorkist Pretender and Flemish native, Perkin Warbeck. An English army of 12,000 landed at Calais in October and besieged Boulogne. Signed on 2 November, Charles VIII of France agreed to end support for Warbeck and pay an indemnity of £159,000, while Henry VII of England accepted French rights to the Duchy of Brittany. The agreement was ratified in December.

Henry presented the treaty as a demonstration of English strength, in which he forced Charles to sue for peace, while the expulsion of Warbeck from France removed a key enemy. Although his abandonment of the Bretons was a reversal of the 1489 Treaty of Redon, in reality Brittany had already recognised French Suzerainty through the marriage of Anne of Brittany to Charles in December 1491.

In July 1498, Louis XII renewed the treaty prior to his invasion of Italy in 1499.In 1510 the councillors of Henry VIII renewed the treaty, seeking a continuation of peace.
