 Humbert's agreement further stipulated that Dauphiné would be exempted from many taxes (like the gabelle); this statute was the subject of much subsequent parliamentary debate at the regional level, as local leaders sought to defend this regional autonomy and privilege from the state's assaults.The nobility of the Dauphiné took part in the battles of Poitiers (1356) and Agincourt (1415).The province was also the setting for military events during the war.
