Franco-Spanish War, Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis 1558, Calais
France was victorious in the war with Spain and its allies in the 1550s. It ended with the Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis on 17 October 1558, signed by Francois II of Spain and Philip II of Spain. It was the same as that treaty of 1559 in OTL, except that France did not return the island of Corsica to Genoa, which was a Spanish ally. (1) Also because Elisabeth of Valois was married to John of Austria, she did not become the wife of Philip II, and Margaret of Valois was the wife of Prince Edward, Duke of York, she did not marry Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy.
Because England was neutral in that war, it did not lose Calais.
