Troyes Award (Sacred Accord)

The Troyes Award (French: Amadou Angevin - 'Angevin Lure') was a series of concessions and legal edicts made by the Angevin Crown regarding the status of Frenchmen in the realm. Following the conclusion of the Two Hundred Years' War with the Oath of Angers on 3rd March 1505, the question of how to integrate newly recovered territories on the continent was discussed by the court of Margaret I. With the exception of the Normans and Gascons, non-English subjects of the crown of all social standings possessed fewer legal rights and representations than Englishmen. This caused a great deal of resentment on the continent as Margaret was claiming to be the Queen of England and France.

The final decision was reached in the summer of 1506, and on 25th September a royal edict was signed giving the French equal social and political standing in the realm. This marked the creation of a true dual monarchy wherein the Kingdoms of England and France retained their de jure administrative independence but had a shared foreign and trade policy.
