Treaty of Vincennes (1661)
The Treaty of Vincennes, signed in February 1661 between Louis XIV of France and Duke Charles IV of Lorraine, returned to Charles the duchy that France had occupied for most of the period since 1633. Its terms were harsh: the fortifications of Nancy were to be demolished and France received a corridor across the duchy for its troops to Alsace. France occupied Lorraine again in 1670.
