The remarriage of the French King
On 1524, Queen Claude of France would die, and Francis II is married to Catherine, Archduchess of Austria to cease sign a cease fire between France and Spain regarding Milan and Naples, Princess Margaret of Angouleme, as well as a provision marrying Maria of Portugal b. 1519, the eldest daughter of John III of Portugal to Francis III of Brittany which would nullify the betrothal between Mary Tudor the younger and Francis III, duke of Brittany which would be the beginning of the hardship for Catherine of Aragon herself as her husband has been starting to consider to divorce her and on this time, Francis II would arrange the marriage between Renee of France and Henry II of Navarre on 1525, the other daughters of Claude named, Louise and Charlotte would die with their mother in the plague.
Francis II would marry her for peace between France and Spain to happen and the Italian wars which started in the reign of Charles VIII to end and for the French to renounce their claims to Milan and Naples as they originally planned in the marriage with Germaine de Foix and Ferdinand the Catholic.
The Marriage treaty would include the ceasefire between the French and the Spanish in Burgundy, Milan and Naples and the Nullification of the alliance between the French and the infidel ottomans and a violation of the treaty would mean that the hostilities between France and the Kingdoms of Aragon and Castile would ignite.

Margaret of Angouleme would have a son in May 2, 1520 named Charles from the duke of Alencon, wherein she would be regent after 1530 when her husband died of a sickness while Germaine de Foix would give birth to a daughter sired by John of Brandenburg-Ansbach named Eleanor in January 2, 1522, which made the couple happy.
The marriage of Renee of France with Henry I of Navarre would produce three children; Jeanne of Navarre b. November 16, 1528, John of Navarre b. July 7, 1530 and Charles of Navarre b. November 10, 1533.
