Treaty of Paris (1515)

In the Treaty of Paris of March 24, 1515 , a future engagement between Charles V , then Count of Flanders , and Princess Renée of France was planned. Renée was a daughter of King Louis XII. and by Anne de Bretagne and at the time just four years old. With the declaration of intent, Charles secured the goodwill of Francis I , his royal contract partner.

Charles had been declared of legal age on January 5, 1515 at the request of the Dutch States General . Her good relations with the French (and also with the English) crown were to be strengthened by this prospective marriage of the young Count of Flanders. Karl, in turn, could be sure that he would not have to face any disruptive maneuvers from Paris with his future claims to the throne of Spain.

However, the marriage did not materialize later.
