FRANÇOIS I. Letter signed “Françoys,” countersigned by his secretary Robertet, addressed to the Generals of the Royal Finances. Amboise, December 22, 1516. Oblong folio, water stains; mounted under glass. “... We wish and command you that... you pay, in cash, to our beloved and faithful Master André Le Roy, whom we have appointed to MAKE PAYMENT BOTH OF THE PENSIONS OF THE LORDS OF THE LEAGUES AND OF THE SUMS WE OWE THEM FOR THE TREATY RECENTLY CONCLUDED WITH THEM, the sum of ten thousand two hundred and fifty livres tournois...” Following the victory at Marignan in September 1515, Francis I had concluded a “treaty of perpetual peace” in Fribourg on November 29, 1516, with the “leagues” of the Swiss cantons and their allies—this treaty would remain in force until the French Revolution.
