Treaty of Chambord

Treaty of Chambord

The Treaty of Chambord was signed on January 15, 1552 between Henry II of France and three German princes including Maurice of Saxony. Based on the terms of the treaty, Maurice ceded Toul, Verdun, and Metz to France. In return, Maurice was promised military and economic aid from Henry II in order to fight against Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Another tenet of the treaty entailed the incorporation of Baugnies from the realm of Ath to that of Tournaisis.
