Treaty of Pontoise (1312)
The Treaty of Pontoise was signed on July 11, 1312 between Philip IV , King of France, and Robert III. , Count of Flanders .
The Treaty of Athis-sur-Orge (1305) also promised an annual contribution of £ 20,000, and the bailiffs of Lille , Douai and Béthune had to be handed over to the Crown, while the Flemish citizens were also subject to oppressive compensation payments and the demolition of their city fortifications . The citizens, who had become politically self-confident in recent years, rejected this treaty, which is why the crown did not in fact gain control over the cities of Flanders. The royal chamberlain Enguerrand de Marigny negotiated the "Flemish cessions" in Pontoise in July 1312 , after which the crown remained in the possession of the three bailiffs and at the same time waived half of the financial compensation.
