Home > Treaty of Blois


The Treaty of Blois of September 22, 1504 concerned the marriage between Charles of Luxembourg, the future Charles V, and Claude of France, daughter of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany.

If the King Louis XII were to die without producing a male heir, Charles of Luxembourg would receive as dowry the Duchy of Milan, Genoa and its dependencies, the Duchy of Brittany, the counties of Asti and Blois, the duchy of Burgundy, the Viceroyalty of Auxonne, AuxerroisAuxerrois is a historical province of France, part of Burgundy. Auxerrois is also the local French name for the Malbec (or Cot) red wine grape variety grown in the Cahors region of France and also, confusingly, an important white wine grape in the Alsace, Māconnais and Bar-sur-Seine.

This truly would have cut up France, so the marriage was cancelled.
