With reference to two examples, each relating to a different medieval war, discuss the results of treaties and/or truces.

Candidates will offer a considered and balanced review of the results of two treaties and/or truces, which must relate to different medieval wars. While the focus of the response must be largely within the timeframe of this topic, the two treaties need not be contemporaneous with each other; the wars from which they resulted may or may not come from the same region. Depending on the treaties chosen, the candidates’ analysis of the impact of treaties may extend beyond 1500. In this way, events that occurred outside of the topic timeframe may be considered relevant. Candidates will not list treaty terms but focus on each treaty’s impact, which may be, for example, political, economic or religious. Candidates may follow either a comparative approach or discuss the two treaties separately. Each war may be considered separately or a thematic approach may be adopted.
