Treaty of Sablé

The Treaty of Sablé (also known as the Treaty of Verger or the Treaty of Le Verger) was signed on August 20, 1488 in Sablé between Duke Francis II of Brittany and Charles VIII of France. Based on the terms of the accord, the Duke of Brittany acknowledged himself as a vassal of the King of France. Moreover, the Duke of Brittany pledged the territories of Saint Malo, Dinan, Fougères and Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier to be controlled by the French crown. Also, Francis promised to remove all foreign troops from his territories, as well as ensure to seek Charles's consent before marrying Anne of Brittany. In return, Charles removed his forces from Brittany except in the town garrisons of the territories pledged by Francis. In another aspect of the treaty, the Duke of Brittany was no longer permitted to summon any troops from England.
