The Treaty of Cambrai, also known as the Paz de las Damas or Paix des Dames ('Ladies' Peace'), was an agreement made on 5 August 1529 that ended the French involvement in the War of the League of Cognac between the French king Francis I and the emperor Charles V, who was also the King of Spain. The treaty confirmed effective Habsburg hegemony in the Duchy of Milan and in the Kingdom of Naples.[1]
The peace was negotiated and signed at Cambrai by two ladies: Margaret of Austria for the emperor, and Louise of Savoy for the king.
The treaty renewed the Treaty of Madrid (1526), but also introduced some new clauses, aimed to resolve several long-standing issues that remained unresolved by previous treaties, mainly those related to disputes over the Burgundian inheritance.
