Treaty of Boulogne

The Treaty of Boulogne, signed in 1550, was an agreement between England and France, primarily aimed at ending hostilities following the Italian Wars. England, under King Edward VI, agreed to give up claims to certain French territories, including Boulogne, in exchange for financial compensation and the removal of French troops from Scotland. This treaty marked a temporary peace between the two nations, but tensions remained, as territorial disputes continued to shape their relations in subsequent years. It illustrated the complexities of European politics during the Renaissance, highlighting alliances, conflicts, and the struggle for control over land.
