The Treaty of Boulogne
A Peace treaty between France, England and Scotland.
Northumberland's motives for the treaty were broadly financial but the treaty was also a tactical move because France was less anti-protestant than the Holy Roman Empire.
Boulogne was returned to the French, Englad removed the garrisons from Scotland, the Anglo-Scottish border was restored to pre Henry VIII's campaigns and a marriage alliance was set up between England and France.
