Treaty of Noyon: France and Spain Divide Italy

The Treaty of Noyon in 1516 ended a phase of the Italian Wars between France and Spain. Francis I got Milan. Charles V got Naples. Both nations' claims to Italian territory were recognized by the other. The Italian states themselves were not asked. The treaty established a pattern that would continue for the next two centuries: Italy as a prize to be divided by the great powers, not a participant in the negotiations about its own fate.
