Peace of Niesburg

The Peace of Niesburg (Dutch: Vrede van Niesburg; French: Traité de Niesbourg) was a series of peace treaties in the Brunanter town Niesburg, effectively ending the Franco-Brunanter War. It also started long-term relationship between Libertas, who entered on the side of the French, and Brunant, who was left ravaged by the three years of occupation.

Peace treaties
The initiative for peace already came from Libertan side in 1758, when Adolphe Weerdt met Philip Eckstein in the citadel after the city's siege. Eckstein successfully defended the fort. Libertan commandant Pieter Heyes forbade Weerdt to negotiate with the Brunanter. The peace treaty was signed in Niesburg by Christian Neyt (Prime Minister), Adolphe Weerdt and Jan Van Rijn from Libertas and Pedro Antonio Vergos de Bryas and Eckstein from Brunant.

In 1760, again in Niesburg, another peace treaty was signed between France and Brunant. French military commanders Jean Colbert and André du Chene-Turau signed the peace treaty for France.

Legacy
With the Peace of Niesburg, the great relationship between Brunant and Libertas started again. Later, in 1771, princess Anna of Libertas would marry Adrian II and their son Martin eventually became King of Libertas, starting the infamous Van Draak period in Libertas and even protest in 1799 (almost creating a personal union between the two countries) and 1859 (ending the Libertan monarchy).
