France and Spain sign the Peace of Aix-Ia-Chapelle, ending the
War of Devolution. They meet in a Congress mediated by the Triple
Alliance of England, the United Provinces and Sweden. France
restores Franche-Comté to Spanish control, in return gaining Lille,
Tournai, Oudenarde and nine other Flemish towns. Succession in the
Spanish Netherlands, however, remains uncertain.
