Historical background
LORRAINE - CITY OF METZ
(Sixteenth century)
By the Treaty of Chambord of January 15, 1552, the German princes cede the Three Bishoprics to France in return for assistance from Henry II intended to overthrow Charles V from the imperial throne. In April, the Three Bishoprics are occupied. Charles Quint came to lay siege to Metz in November 1552. The city was defended by François de Guise. The siege led by the Duke of Alba must be lifted on January 2, 1553. In the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis, on April 3, 1559, the possession of the Three Bishoprics is confirmed to France.
