# The 1630 Anglo-Spanish peace serves Habsburg and Stuart interest, not a universal relief statute

Date: 1630

## The fact

The 1630 Anglo-Spanish settlement [Rubens](/people/peter-paul-rubens) helped prepare served Habsburg and Stuart interest. This Fact stores that partisan diplomatic object, not the later improving reading of reduced maritime war.

It is one event.

Same 15 November 1630 Treaty of Madrid cluster as the improving peace row. Spanish-Stuart interest and humanitarian cease-fire share a spine. He negotiated as Habsburg agent.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.
