The fighting between France and the Swiss Confederation following the Battle of Marignano was concluded by the peace treaty of Geneva, signed on November 7, 1515.1

A subsequent, more comprehensive peace settlement was reached in 1516. These terms were notably generous to the Swiss, allowing them to retain most of present-day Ticino as a joint dependency. This agreement, followed by a mercenary pact in 1521, established a long-standing accord between the two powers, providing Swiss merchants with significant access to the French market.2
