Treaty of Montmirail

Montmirail Castle, where people met

The Treaty of Montmirail was an agreement signed in Montmirail on January 6, 1169 between King Henry II and Louis VII.

Heinrich decided to formally share his power in order to take into account the different circumstances in his lands and to relax the relationship with King Ludwig VII. Thomas Becket also went there to be reconciled with the king. But his demeanor made the king angry.

To this end, he met with his sons on January 6, 1169 in Montmirail for a personal encounter with the French king. There Heinrich put his eldest son, Heinrich the Younger , in Anjou , Normandy and Brittany and the second oldest, Richard , in Aquitaine . All three then paid homage to the French King Louis VII : Henry for the entire property and his sons for the areas assigned to them. In Montmirail, a marriage between Princess Margaret of France and Henry the Younger was agreed, who was also crowned (co) King of England the following year. The marriage between Princess Alix of France and Richard was also agreed there.
