Treaty of Dover (1670) was the secret agreement concluded on 3 December 1670 between England and France, in which Charles II of England received a subsidy of two million livres from Louis XIV in exchange for supporting French hostilities against the United Provinces (Dutch Republic). The treaty’s clandestine nature undermined Dutch security and contributed to the Disaster Year 1672, affecting the VOC’s ability to protect its trade with the Sultanate of Aceh.

One clause promised the conversion of the English king to Catholicism, a point that heightened domestic opposition in England and intensified diplomatic pressure on the Republic.
