Aquitaine Treaty

The Aquitaine Treaty, signed in 1259, was an important agreement between England and France that helped resolve longstanding territorial disputes. It primarily established the boundaries of the duchy of Aquitaine, granting the English king control over parts of southwestern France while acknowledging the French king’s authority over the region. This treaty aimed to reduce conflict between the two kingdoms and created a framework for their future relationships. While it provided temporary peace, it ultimately laid the groundwork for further tensions leading to the Hundred Years' War later on.
