Henry, defeated at Saint-Quentin and Gravelines, preoccupied with the developing religious struggle between the Roman Catholics and the Huguenots in France, and plagued by financial difficulties, makes peace with a similarly drained Spain and its brief ally, England.
The Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis, signed between Elizabeth I of England and Henry II of France on April 2 and between Henry II and Philip II of Spain on April 3, 1559, at Le Cateau-Cambrésis, around twenty kilometers south-east of Cambrai, ends the sixty-five years of intermittent warfare between France and Spain, known to historians as the Italian Wars.
The peace is to be cemented by the marriages of Henry's daughter Elizabeth and his sister Marguerite to Philip II of Spain and to Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy, respectively.
