Historical background


LORRAINE - CITY OF METZ

(16th - 17th century)

Metz, Verdun and Toul were attached to the kingdom of France by the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1559. Nevertheless, until the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the Habsburgs disputed and discussed the possession of the Three Bishoprics. Metz, during this period, sometimes maintains difficult relations with its Lorraine or French neighbors. The city is favorable to the League during the Wars of Religion.
