Treaty of Sablé

The Treaty of Sablé was signed on 20 August 1488 in Sablé, between Duke Francis II of Brittany and King Charles VIII of France. A year after the signing of Sablé, the treaty was reneged upon in favour of a tripartite alliance at Amiens with Burgundy and England. The town of Sablé was therefore chosen for a summit in 1488 when the duchy was forced to do homage to the King of France for the last time. The duchy was later merged into the kingdom. Francis, who, under the terms of the treaty, was integrated a member of the French nobility, died on 9 September 1488.
