Treaty of Pavia

The Treaty of Pavia, signed in 1529, was an agreement that aimed to resolve conflicts between the Spanish and French crowns over control of various territories in Italy, particularly Milan. It marked the end of hostilities in the War of the League of Cognac. Under the treaty, Francis I of France renounced his claims to the duchy of Milan, while Charles V of Spain confirmed his control over the region. This treaty helped establish relative peace in Italy for a time and influenced the balance of power in Europe during the Renaissance.
