The Peace of Arras
On September 21, 1435, a very important agreement was signed. It was called the Peace of Arras. This treaty was between two powerful leaders: Charles VII of France and Philip III, Duke of Burgundy.
Ending an Alliance
For many years, the Duke of Burgundy had been allied with England. This alliance was a big part of the Hundred Years' War, a long conflict between England and France. The Peace of Arras changed everything. It officially ended the alliance between England and Burgundy.
Impact on the War
By signing this treaty, Philip III of Burgundy switched sides. He decided to support Charles VII of France instead. This was a huge blow to England. It greatly weakened their position in the war against France. The treaty helped France gain strength and eventually win the Hundred Years' War.
The Order of the Minims
