Treaty of Paris (1303)

Summary

The Treaty of Paris ended the Anglo-French War of 1294–1303, and was signed on 20 May 1303 between Philip IV of France and Edward I of England. Based on the terms of the treaty, Gascony was restored to England from France following its occupation during the war, thus setting the stage for the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453). Moreover, it was confirmed that Philip's daughter would marry Edward's son (the later Edward II of England), as already agreed in the Treaty of Montreuil (1299).

Negotiations for the treaty were made on behalf of Edward I of England by Amadeus V, Count of Savoy, Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Otto de Grandson and Amanieu VII d'Albret.[1]
