Treaty of Valençay

Treaty of Valençay

The Treaty of Valençay (December 11, 1813), after the château of the same name belonging to French foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, was drafted by Antoine René Mathurin and José Miguel de Carvajal y Manrique on behalf of the French Empire and the Cádiz Cortes respectively. Intended as the preliminary to a full peace treaty between France and Spain, the agreement provided for the restoration of Ferdinand VII of Spain, imprisoned at Valençay since 1808, to the Spanish throne.

Included in the terms was an armistice which neither side, mistrusting the other's intentions, fully respected. The Peninsular War would drag on until Napoleon's final defeat in France by the powers of the Sixth Coalition.
