July 1542 CE

The new French ambassador had returned from Constantinople on March 8, 1542, with promises of Ottoman aid in a war against Charles.

Francis declares war against the Habsburgs on July 12, naming various injuries as the causes; among them is Rincon's murder, which he proclaims "an injury so great, so detestable and so strange to those who bear the title and quality of prince that it cannot be in any way forgiven, suffered or endured."

Francis astonishes many of his French subjects by concluding a treaty of alliance with Süleyman.
