This historical print captures a pivotal moment in European diplomacy as Louis XI of France and Edward IV of England meet at the bridge of Picquigny in August 1475. In this crucial diplomatic victory, Louis XI successfully negotiates a treaty with Edward IV, resulting in the withdrawal of English forces from French territory.
The meeting between these two powerful monarchs marked a significant turning point in history, as it not only brought an end to hostilities between their respective nations but also paved the way for future cooperation and peace. The events that unfolded on that fateful day would have far-reaching consequences for both countries and shape the course of European politics for years to come.
