King Emmanuel of Portugal 1
st.
The engagement was held in the king's chamber and then ill prisoner in the castle of Madrid, then the marriage is ratified at the castle of Illescas
The reluctance King of France to sign and abide by the terms imposed, then the circumstances and events that follow bring the two enemies to leave Margaret of Austria, aunt of the Emperor, and Louise of Savoy, mother of the king, to negotiate a new Treaty signed at Cambrai August 3, 1529, known as the "Paix des Dames" designed to reconcile the two sovereigns. By ratifying it, Charles Quint Charles Quint waives Burgundy wishing to remain French, and François 1er waives Artois, Flanders and his views on Italy.
This new treaty however, maintains the commitment of marriage of the king of France with the sister of the powerful King of Spain, in order to pacify their relations
by an alliance of families Francois 1er is then released, but should challenge hostage his two young son, the dauphin Francis of Anjou, and Henry of France, the future Henry II, who are held captive and in ensuring the execution of treaty provisions, including paying a large ransom.
The protracted negotiations and maneuvers and the term assigned approaching, Francois de La Tour, vicomte Turenne was sent to Spain in early 1530, to marry Queen Eleanor on behalf of his master.
