New king d' Espagne, Philippe II, who married the girl of Henri VIII, starts again the war with the assistance of England (1557).
He gains a great victory in Saint-Quentin (1557), but François de Guise seizes brilliantly Calais, the last possession of the English in France (1558), and Philippe II, given up by England, signs the treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis, which leaves intact France (1559).
François 1st and Henri II prevented the house of Austria from absorbing Europe.
At the interior Henri II consolidates the absolute royalty; he creates new courts, new taxes, and represses any revolt rigorously.
Battle of Quentin Saint.
