as part of louis xii's continuing attempt to pacify or neutralize his neighbors to prevent them from obstructing his ambitions in italy, louis xii opened discussions with king ferdinand and queen isabella of spain. on november 11, 1500, louis signed the treaty of grenada. the treaty of grenada memorialized louis xii's agreement with ferdinand ii of aragon, king of spain, to divide the kingdom of naples between themselves. then louis set off marching south from milan towards naples. king louis xii's agreement with spain was heavily criticized by contemporaries—including niccolò machiavelli in his masterpiece the prince. modern historians also criticize the treaty of grenada by calling it "foolish" on louis xii's part. they allege, as does machiavelli, that louis xii did not need to invite spain into italy. louis xii had achieved everything he needed in the treaty of marcoussis, that he had signed two years earlier (see above). the treaty of grenada did nothing but bind louis xii's own hands. once involved in italian affairs, spain would work to the detriment of france in italy. indeed, this is just what happened.
