At the treaty of the Pyrenees, when Louis espoused the Spanish princess, he had renounced every title of succession to every part of the Spanish monarchy; and this renunciation had been couched in the most accurate and most precise terms that language could afford.
If the renunciation made at the treaty of the Pyrenees was not valid, it was foreseen that upon the death of the King of Spain, a sickly infant, the whole monarchy would be claimed by Louis, after which it would be vainly expected to set bounds to his pretensions.
Room had been left in the treaty for the accession of Sweden, which was soon after obtained, and thus was concluded in five days the triple league, an event received with equal surprise and approbation by the world.

 History of Nova Scotia; Book.2; Part 2; Ch. 4 - "The Deep Roots of Discontent.""
It was there that the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was signed; and, by its signing, England and France were to bring the War of the Austrian Succession to an end.
Thus it was, that one of the provisions of this treaty between the parties was the giving back of Louisbourg to the French.
That Louisbourg, a fortress that the French had taken thirty years to build, had been taken by the English, in 1745, was surprising enough; that it was captured by a band of untrained artisans and husbandmen commanded by a merchant, was, as the professional soldiers back in England thought, a feat against all odds.
