The
Peace of Rueil (, or ), signed 11 March 1649, signalled an end to the opening episodes of the
Fronde,
France's civil war, after little blood had been shed. The articles ended all hostilities and declared all avenues of trade reopened. The settlement was promulgated in the name of the child king
Louis XIV through his mother
Anne of Austria, the Queen Regent.
Cardinal Mazarin, the true power of the court party, was not mentioned in the text, though he was a signatory, as was
the Grand Condé, who had been recruited by the court party to overcome the resistance of
Paris.
