Through the services of his ambassador Jean Cavenac de la Vigne, Henry II obtained the dispatch of an Ottoman fleet to Italy in 1558, with little effect however apart from the sack of Sorrento. [118] French authors used the East as a way to enrich their philosophical work and a pretext to write comments on the West: Montesquieu wrote the Lettres Persannes in 1721, a satirical essay on the West, Voltaire used the Oriental appeal to write Zare (1732) and Candide (1759). [118] French travelers of the 17th century, such as Jean de Thvenot or Jean-Baptiste Tavernier routinely visited the Ottoman Empire. According to historian Arthur Hassall the consequences of the Franco-Ottoman alliance were far-reaching: "The Ottoman alliance had powerfully contributed to save France from the grasp of Charles V, it had certainly aided Protestantism in Germany, and from a French point of view, it had rescued the North German allies of Francis I.

[37] In the truce, Charles and Francis made an agreement to ally against the Ottomans to expel them from Hungary. [130], This policy initially continued during the French Revolution, as France was clearly in need of an eastern diversion against its continental enemies. Jean de La Fort negotiated the capitulations on 18 February 1536, on the model of previous Ottoman commercial treaties with Venice and Genoa,[27] although they only seem to have been ratified by the Ottomans later, in 1569, with ambassador Claude Du Bourg.

[49] Polin, after some delays in Venice, finally managed to take a galley to Constantinople on 9 May 1542, but he arrived too late for the Ottomans to launch a sea campaign.
