Fairly good condition, function has not been checked The Treaties of Tilsit were two agreements signed in July 1807 in the city of Tilsit by Emperor Napoleon I after winning the Battle of Friedland. The first Treaty of Tilsit was signed in secret on July 7, 1807 by Tsar Alexander I and Napoleon, during a meeting on a raft in the middle of the River Niemen. The second Treaty of Tilsit was signed on July 9, 1807 with the King of Prussia, who had already agreed a truce on June 25 after being pursued by the Grande Armée to the limits of his kingdom's borders.
