aka Treaties of Ryswick or Peace of Ryswick. Collection of multiple treaties passed in the months of September to October in 1697 at Ryswick, a city in the Netherlands. They were intended to end the Nine-Years War between France and the Grand Alliance of Spain, England, The Dutch Republic and The Holy Roman Empire (Steenhard 2017).
List of Treaties in the Peace of Ryswick (Steenhard 2017)
- 20 September 1697 – “Treaty of Peace between France and Spain”
- 20 September 1697 – “Treaty of Peace between France and England”
- 20 September 1697 – “Articles for the Suspension of Armed Conflict in Germany between France and the Holy Roman Empire”
- 21 September 1697 – “Treaty of Peace and a Treaty of Commerce between France and the Dutch Republic”
- 9 October 1697 – “Separate Article for the Dutch Republic”
- 30 October 1697 – “Treaty of Peace between France and the Holy Roman Empire”
Outcome of the Treaties
The Treaties reinstated the pre-war territorial borders (Sutherland 2006). France’s King Louis XIV kept some of his achievements made during the war, among others Alsace. However, he had to give up Lorraine, as well as all acquirements on the East bank of the Rhine. Furthermore, he accepted William as the rightful ruler of England. The Dutch obtained a fortress system in the Spanish Netherlands, helping to protect and stabilize their borders (National Army Museum). The Peace was not maintained for long, however, as the war between France and England continued in 1702, in the War of Spanish Succession (Sutherland 2006).
