Years: 1526 - 1526
January
Charles is by the beginning of 1526 faced with demands from Venice and the Pope to restore Francesco II Sforza to the throne of the Duchy of Milan, and has become anxious to achieve a settlement with the French before another war began.
Francis, having argued to retain Burgundy without result, is prepared to surrender it to achieve his own release.
On January 14, 1526, Charles and Francis agree to the Treaty of Madrid, by which the French king renounces all his claims in Italy, Flanders, and Artois, surrenders Burgundy to Charles, agrees to send two of his sons to be hostages at the Spanish court, and promises to marry Charles' sister Eleanor and to restore to Bourbon the territories that had been seized from him.
Francis, who holds the title of "Most Christian King", also agrees to persuade Henry to relinquish the throne of Navarre in favor of Charles "in order to uproot the errors of the Lutheran sect and the rest of condemned sects".
