Some skirmishes of small moment ensued with the French; and no hopes of any considerable progress could be entertained by either party.

Henry, whose animosity against Francis was not violent, had given sufficient vent to his humor by this short war; and finding that, from his great increase in corpulence and decay in strength, he could not hope for much longer life, he was desirous of ending a quarrel which might prove dangerous to his kingdom during a minority.

Francis likewise, on his part, was not averse to peace with England; because, having lately lost his son, the duke of Orleans, he revived his ancient claim upon Milan, and foresaw that hostilities must soon, on that account, break out between him and the emperor.
Commissioners, therefore, having met at Campe, a small place between Ardres and Guisnes, the articles were soon agreed on, and the peace signed by them.

The chief conditions were, that Henry should retain Boulogne during eight years, or till the former debt due by Francis should be paid.

This debt was settled at two millions of livres, besides a claim of five hundred thousand livres, which was afterwards to be adjusted.
