Treaty of Valençay

1813 · 19th century · Part of the Peninsular War

The Treaty of Valençay was signed on 11 December 1813 at the château of Valençay in France, where Napoleon held the deposed Ferdinand VII. Facing defeat in the Peninsular War, Napoleon recognised Ferdinand as King of Spain in return for peace and the departure of British forces. The Spanish regency refused to ratify it, but Ferdinand was released and returned to Spain in March 1814.
