This treaty, signed on 14 April 1629 ended
a war between
England and
France that had broken out in 1627. Ratified by
Charles I of England and Scotland on 11 June and
Louis XIII of France on 4 July, it reconfirmed the terms of a marriage contract between Charles and Louis' sister
Henriette Marie. Each party was allowed to retain territories captured during the conflict, but was obliged to return territories taken after the peace was agreed. This latter clause affected a number of territories taken in
New France, including
Quebec, which was surrendered by
Samuel de Champlain in July 1629 to
David Kirke and his brothers, three months after the peace was agreed, as well as other territories in
Acadia (present-day peninsular
Nova Scotia, then a
Scottish colony, and
Cape Breton Island). New France was not fully restored to French rule until the 1632
Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. ==References==
