Peace of Tournai

Peace of Tournai

The peace of Tournai ("Vrede van Doornik" in Dutch) was an agreement between the Burgundian Duke Philip II and the rebellious city of Ghent signed on December 18th 1385.

The treaty said that Ghent kept its privileges and that the rebels would be given amnesty. However Ghent needed to give up its treaty with England and recognise the king of France.
