The Intercursus Magnus was a major and long-lasting commercial treaty signed in February 1496 by Henry VII of England[1] Other signatories included the commercial powers of Venice, Florence, the Netherlands, and the Hanseatic League. Briefly, the Malus Intercursus ("evil treaty"; so named from the Dutch perspective for being far too favorable to English interests) was negotiated with Philip of Burgundy and was intended to replace the Intercursus Magnus in 1506. Philip's death meant that the Intercursus Magnus continued to be in effect.[2] It granted reciprocal trade privileges to English and Flemings and established fixed duties. These certainties greatly aided English export of wool, and thus Henry VII's treasury.[3] The treaty was designed to resolve some trade wars between England and the Netherlands sparked by Margaret of Burgundy's interference in English wars of succession, specifically her support for Perkin Warbeck; one condition of the treaty was that no further meddling take place.
