Treaty of Arras
1435
Philip the Good of Burgundy switched sides, abandoned the English alliance, and reconciled with Charles VII of France. The Hundred Years' War's geopolitical center of gravity lurched. Within eighteen years, English France would be reduced to Calais. Burgundy's price was autonomy, which it would enjoy for forty more years. Philip exacted a humiliating apology from Charles VII for the murder of his father at Montereau, satisfying Burgundian honor.
