Treaty of Bicêtre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Bicêtre was one of the peace treaties between the parties at the start of the Armagnacs and Bourguignons civil war . It was signed on November 2, 1410 in a house of Duke Johann von Berry in Bicêtre (now Le Kremlin-Bicêtre ).

After the conclusion of the Treaty of Chartres on March 9, 1409 , a league was formed on April 15, 1410 at the wedding of Charles, Duke of Orléans , with a daughter of Count Bernard VII of Armagnac , and Bernard VII took over the leadership who were soon named Armagnacs after him . Count Bernard recruited soldiers in the south of France who gave the war an unprecedented brutality. Under his leadership, they devastated the area around Paris and advanced to the Faubourg Saint-Marcel in the southeast of the city.

The treaty obliged both sides to withdraw to their territories. Entry to Paris was only possible with the consent of King Charles VI. allowed. The Duke of Berry was given guardianship over the Dauphin Ludwig .

The treaty was an attempt to replace the failed Chartres treaty with a more effective one. However, it was just as neglected as the subsequent Treaty of Auxerre from 1412 .
