Everything about Treaty Of Corbeil 1258 totally explained
The
Treaty of Corbeil was an agreement signed on
May 11,
1258, in
Corbeil (today
Corbeil-Essonnes, in the region of
Île-de-France) between
Louis IX of France and
James I of Aragon.
The French king, as the heir of
Charlemagne, renounced feudal overlordship over the counties of the
Marca Hispanica.
James I renounced claims to
Fenouillet-du-Razès and
Peyrepertuse, with the
castle of
Puilaurens, the castle of
Fenouillet, the
Castellfisel, the castle of
Peyrepertuse and the castle of
Quéribus; moreover he renounced his feudal overlordship over
Toulouse,
Saint Gilles,
Quercy,
Narbonne,
Albi,
Carcassonne (part of the County of Toulouse since
1213),
Razès,
Béziers,
Lauragais,
Termes and
Ménerbes (enfeoffed in
1179 to Roger III of Béziers); to
Agde and
Nimes (their viscount was recognized as the feudatory of the
Counts of Barcelona from
1112), and
Rouergue,
Millau and
Gevaudan (derived from the inheritance of
Douce of Provence). Under his lordship remained the
viscounty of Carlat and the
lordship of Montpeller with the barony of
Aumelas.
The renunciation of the feudal rights of the
King of Aragon over the
County of Foix, initially included in the treaty, was rejected by the king of Aragon on ratifying the document on
16 July 1258, on the grounds that it wasn't under the overlordship of the king of France.
According to this treaty the daughter of James I, Elisabet, would marry Philip, heir of
Louis IX.
On
17 July, the Aragonese king renounced his hereditary rights to the
County of Provence (then an imperial fief) in favor of Marguerite, daughter of
Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence, his uncle (died in
1245) and wife of the French king.
The direct result of the treaty was to definitively separate the
House of Barcelona-Aragon from the politics of today's
southern France. A secondary effect is that it allowed the transfer of
Provence to the
House of Valois, and after extinction of that house, its incorporation into
France.
