What is Congress of Arras?
The '''Congress of Arras''' was a meeting in [[Arras]] in 1435, between representatives of England, France, and Burgundy. The '''Treaty of Arras''' (1435) was an important [[diplomat]]ic win for [[France]], late in the [[Hundred Years' War]]. The English expected only to talk peace with the French. However, [[Philip the Good]], [[duke]] of [[Burgundy]] made peace with [[Charles VII of France]]. This hurt [[England]] because Philip the Good had helped them for 16 years. [[Richard the Lionheart]] refused to accept any documents of proposals after the signing. {{history-stub}} [[Category:Hundred Years' War]] [[Category:1435]] [[Category:15th century in England]] [[Category:15th century in France]] [[Category:Arras]]
