Henry VII Foreign Policy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Two main reasons for this, firstly a feeling of obligation towards the people of Britany and secondly a fear that French control would cause a greater threat of Fench invasion.
      - In the same year came the Treaty of Redon (1489), so Duchess Anne paid for a small English army to defend Brittany
        
        English army arrived in Brittany but Anne caved, reluctantly marrying The French king Charles VIII
        
        This left the English army alone in French territory, and the situation was worsened by the impostor Perkin Warbeck seeking French backing to Henrys crown.
  - - - Charles quickly sought a peace settlement, the Treaty of Etaples in November 1492
        
        Charles agreed to pay a pension for the troops Henry had gathered, and withdraw support for Warbeck
- - - - Two of Henrys aims were conflicting, securing the dynasty and encouraging trade.
        
        Henry chose to favour his dynastical aims, and placed a trade embargo on Burgundy
        
        Intercerus Magnus in 1496 ended the embargo
        
        Intercursus Malus, resulting from some domestic policy in 1504 resulted in (unenforced) better trade deals for English traders and the return of Perkin Warkbeck.
- - - - Marriage didn't go smoothly
      - Ferdinand was reluctant to allow the marriage while Henry was threatened by Perkin Warbeck
      - The two argued over the size of Catherine's dowry
      - Details finally agreed in 1499, marriage took place in 1501, but Arthur's death in 1502 made relations more complicated
        
        Henry VII suggested a marriage with little Henry
        
        Ferdinand did not like the idea, he did not need an English alliance any more and the marriage would require an expensive Papal Dispensation
        
        1504, Henry lost interest in the marriage, as Ferdinand lost his influence after the death of Isabella.
        
        Henry backed Juana, Catherine of Aragon's sister, in a power struggle between her and Ferdinand
        
        Juana and her husband Philip of Burgundy set sail for Spain in 1506, but were forced to take refuge in England after a ship wreck
        
        Lead to the Treaty of Windsor
        
        Treaty of Windsor included the Intercursus Magnus,which restored trade between England and Burgundy
        
        It arranged the return of the Earl of Suffolk, a threat to Henry's dynasty
        
        Henry's recognition that Juana and Philip were the Rulers of Castile, threatening their claim to the throne
