CH 9. FOREIGN RELATIONS (1514-1529 (1515: Louis XII dies = Francis I -…

- - - - Henry wants military glory, wants to assert a claim to the French throne
      - 1512: Involved in creation of anti-French alliance 'Holy League'
      - Council sought peace eg. 1510 Renew Treaty of Etaples with France
      - 1512: VIII sends expiditon to Aquitaine, BUT is a diversionary tactic by Ferdinand, who conquers Navarre - expedition achieves nothing!
      - 1513: Battle of the Spurs - success for VIII (exaggerated for propaganda purposes), and capture of Therouanne and Tournai!
    - - 1513: James IV invades (adhering to Auld Alliance) - English victory at Battle of Flodden! James killed and infant son James V becomes heir - Scottish threat eliminated for a generation!
      - BUT Henry does not capitalise from gains - very costly, has to liquidate inheritcance to pay for the war = resentment of taxation in Yorkshire, much like 1489!
      - Loses renegotiated French pension!
      - Tournai sold back to France for less than English had spent of repair after the siege
    - - VIII wants to resume invasion BUT Maximilian and Ferdinand make indivudal peace with France, and funds low
      - WOLSEY negotiates treaty with France - recognises English control of Tournai, restores French pension, marriage alliance with VIII's sister Mary and king of France Louis XIII
