On August 5, 1529, the then 49-year-old Margaret of Austria and the then 52-year-old Luise von Savoyen negotiated the Peace of Cambrai , thus ending the war of the League of Cognac between Emperor Charles V and King Francis I of France .

Both rulers did not want to negotiate directly with each other, which is why Luise von Savoyen, the mother of the French king Franz I, and Margarete von Austria, the aunt of Charles V, agreed on a balance of interests and signed the contract.

With this peace the rule of the House of Habsburg over Italy was established. The French crown renounced all claims in Italy ( Genoa , Duchy of Milan and Kingdom of Naples ) and to rule over Flanders , the Artois and Tournai . Milan and Naples came under the direct influence of Charles V. Philibert de Chalon was again recognized as "Prince d'Orange" (Prince of Orange). Part of the contract was also the release of the two sons Franz I, François and Henri (who later became Henry II ), who were in Madrid , for a ransom of two million soleils . In return, France saw its claims to the Duchy of Burgundy , which had been in its hands since 1477, confirmed.
