Signed on the 11th March, 1649, this treaty signaled the end of the Fronde (a period of civil war in France), with only minor bloodshed. The peace lasted until the end of the year, before the Fronde des Nobles began on 14th January,1650.
The Fronde was a series of civil wars, which ran from 1648 to 1653 during the Franco-Spanish War (which began in 1635). Divided into two campaigns, the Parlementary Fronde (1648-1649) came directly after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, while the Fronde of the Princes ran from 1650 to 1653.
