The 'Treaty of Paris' (also known as the 'Treaty of Albeville') was a
treaty between
Louis IX of
France and
Henry III of
England, agreed to on
December 4,
1259.
Henry agreed to renounce control of
Normandy (except for the
Channel Islands),
Maine,
Anjou and
Poitou, which had been lost under the reign of King
John. Henry was able to keep the lands of
Gascony and parts of
Aquitaine but only as a
vassal to Louis. In exchange, Louis withdrew his support for English rebels.
The agreement resulted in the fact that the English kings had to pay homage liege to the French monarchs and therefore they became French vassals. The situation did not help the friendly relationship between the two states, as it made two sovereigns of equal powers in their countries in fact unequal. According to professor Malcolm Vale, the treaty of Paris was one of the indirect causes of
Hundred Years War.
