Tordesillas between Portugal and Spain.

the treaty of Paris was between the US, not France, and Brits after the american revolution. Despite Paris being French territory, France had a major role in naval warfare during the last battle of the American Revolution, the Siege of Yorktown

the treaty of Utrecht is between England and France, not the Hanseatic league, after the Spanish emperor died and France tried to invade Spain for its territory under its panicking government

Treaty of Amiens was in 1802 almost 4 centuries after 1494. This treaty was to stop war between England and France
