Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis

Peace treaties of 2 and 3 April 1559, signed in a small town to the south of Cambrai, which put an end to the conflict between France on the one hand, and Spain and England on the other. As France was obliged to abandon its policy of interfering in Italy, they marked the end to the Italian Wars, once and for all, and the beginning of Spanish predominance in Europe.
