Farnese concludes his negotiations with the southern, largely Catholic, provinces, by the Treaty of Arras in May 1579, which restores peace in the southern provinces.
The agreement is reached at the cost of certain Spanish concessions, which includes the removal of foreign troops and Farnese's own departure within six months.
An expert politician, Farnese succeeds in keeping himself in the Netherlands as commander and regent, going so far as to enter into conflict with his mother, whom the king had initially appointed to the position in order to attain his purpose.
