[January 30th, 1512]

Hostilities between the Margraviate of Mantua and the Duchy of Ferrara-Modena had broken out last year over a variety of Ferrarese claims on statelets along the Po river. As quickly as the conflict had begun, representatives from Mantua and F-M were summoned to Innsbruck over the winter following the initial months of conflict to participate in peace negotiations ministered by the Emperor and the Holy Father.

Though the talks were fraught with tension and indeed nearly failed several times, the outbreak of war between France and Aragon sparked grave concern among all parties and led to a quick settlement proposed by the Papal representative in attendance.

The settlement, and thus the treaty, is as follows;

Emilia

• Mirandola and Gustalla will be restored as independent states, "in Mantua's sphere" whatever that means

• Novellara will remain a Mantuan vassal

• Mantua annexes Rolo

• 100,000 civilian florins deployed to repair Ferrara for the incursion into Church lands.

• Este claims to Montechiarugolo, Carpi, and Correggio acknowledged by Gonzaga

• Federico Gonzaga, heir to the Margrave, will be betrothed to Giulia d'Aragona to be married in 1516.

• Eleanor d'Este will be betrothed to Maximilian Friedrich von Amberg
