The Treaty of the Pyrenees[1] was signed on 7 November 1659 and ended the Franco-Spanish War that had begun in 1635.[2]

Negotiations were conducted and the treaty was signed on Pheasant Island, situated in the middle of the Bidasoa River on the border between the two countries, which has remained a French-Spanish condominium ever since. It was signed by Louis XIV of France and Philip IV of Spain, as well as their chief ministers, Cardinal Mazarin and Don Luis Méndez de Haro.[3]
