Corbeil Convention (1258)


the seal of Guillaume de Roquefeuil, Ambassador of Jacobus I of Aragon to the Corbeil treaty

The Corbeil treaty was agreed on May 11, 1258 in Corbeil, between France and Aragon over the ruling in the Spanish Market, Northern Catalonia and Barcelona. It was eventually signed by King Jacobus I of Aragón and Louis IX of France.

Jacobus saw his rights at Fenouillet-du-Razès, Peyrepertuse, Puilaurens, Fenouillet, Castel-Fizel, Quéribus. In addition, he resigned from the County of Toulouse and Saint-Gilles, Quercy, Narbonne, Albi, Carcassonne, Razès, Béziers, Lauragais, Termes, Agde, Nimes, Rouergue, Millau and Guéudan. He maintained the likelihood of the Carlat castle, the glory of Montpellier and the baronie of Aumelas.

Initially, Jacobus van Aragón also renounced his rights to the county of Foix, but in ratifying the treaty on July 16, 1258, he decided to refrain from this because it was not officially under the lionhood of France. / p>

According to the treaty, the daughter of Jacobus, Isabella married the son of Lodewijk, crown prince Filips. This happened in 1262.

On July 17, 1258, one day after ratification, Jacobus transferred his rights to the county of Provence to his descendant Margaretha of Provence, the wife of Louis. This eventually brought this county to the French crown.
