Picardy, Treaty of Arras (1435)

**Nay_13** · March 26

Is it normal that in Lukasz's latest video, Picardy is a vassal of the King of France in 1444 ? Will it be changed, or will it stay as is?

In 1435 the King of France ceded the “towns of the Somme” (in red) to the Duke of Burgundy (which became French again in 1463 thanks to the purchase of the towns by Louis XI)

Also, Le Treport being part of Picardy and half cutting Abbeville and Amiens is a little weird
