Q

Treaty of Etaples

A

Context - Henry’s invasion of France + Charles harbouring Perkin Warbeck

Charles VIII had to withdraw support for Perkin Warbeck, pay a pension to Henry (£159,000/£12,500 p.a for 15 years) and pay the cost of the invasion.

Henry had to withdraw troops from France (apart from Calais) and allow France to annex Brittany

Very advantageous treaty for England

Majority of English trade went through ports in Burgundy (Antwerp, Bruges) - very important for Henry to maintain peaceful relations.

1493 - trade embargo over its support for Warbeck (hurt both sides - shows Henry prioritising his dynastic aims over his economic aims)

1496 - intercursus magnus re-established trade

1506 - intercursus malus/treaty of Windsor - never ratified
