Treaty of London in 1518 which was a non-aggression pact between the major European nations in which all the countries that signed England money and didn't attack each other. Another attempt by Wolsey to show Henry as a peace keeper. Negotiated 'Perpetual peace'
The Treaty of Westminster and Ameins in 1529 which was a treaty between France and England against the Holy Roman Empire
Marrying his daughter Mary to the King of Scotland unifying the 2 nations for the first time after Charles V called off their engagement
Henry sought to form an alliance with Charles V as he was Catherine of Aragon's cousin and thought he would help him successfully invade and capture France
Gain land in France
Battle of the Spurs in 1513 in which 2 towns were conquered including Tournai but the cost to maintain was too great so it was returned to France.
The French invasion in 1543 which saw the capture of Boulogne which also damaged the economy significantly
