Peace of Étaples

Charles agreed to end his support for the Yorkist Pretender Perkin Warbeck, in return for being recognised as ruler of the Duchy of Brittany.

[1] The agreement ended an English invasion of France that was launched in response to French support for the Yorkist Pretender and Flemish native Perkin Warbeck.

[2] Signed on 2 November, Charles VIII of France agreed to end support for Warbeck and pay an indemnity of £159,000, while Henry VII of England accepted French rights to the Duchy of Brittany.

Henry presented the treaty as a demonstration of English strength, in which he forced Charles to sue for peace, and the expulsion of Warbeck from France removed a key enemy.

In July 1498, Louis XII renewed the treaty prior to his invasion of Italy in 1499.
