Henry renews his family’s war against the Habsburgs in 1551, declaring war against Charles V with the intent of recapturing Italy and ensuring French, rather than Habsburg, domination of European affairs.
Henry seals a treaty with Suleiman the Magnificent in order to cooperate against the Habsburgs in the Mediterranean.
This had been triggered by the conquest of Mahdiya by the Genoese Admiral Andrea Doria on September 8, 1550, for the account of Charles.
The alliance will allow Henry to push for French conquests towards the Rhine, while a Franco-Ottoman fleet defends southern France.
