Treaty of Athis-sur-Orge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Athis-sur-Orge was a peace treaty between France and Flanders signed on June 23, 1305 in Athis-sur-Orge (now part of Athis-Mons ) after the battle of Mons-en-Pévèle . Contract partners were King Philip the Handsome and Count Robert III. of Flanders .

content

The treaty imposed severe penalties on Bruges . The most important content was that the cities of Lille , Douai and Béthune went to the French crown and in return Flanders was guaranteed its autonomy as a French fief . The treaty ended the wars between France and Flanders, but did not solve the problems that existed between the two parties, especially since (in addition to the usual amnesty and release of prisoners) the treaty also resulted in high compensation payments to the Flemish population.

King Philip was also promised an annual fee of 20,000 pounds, which should be exchanged for an assignment of land.
