HENRY VIII's FOREIGN POLICY - Coggle Diagram

- - - - In 1522 and 1523, Henry did invade Northern France but these campaigns were unsuccessful and costly. Parliament were also very reluctant to grant the extraordinary revenue to cover the costs.
- - - - Future conflicts would suggest that this treaty was useless.. however that's not how it appeared in the aftermath of its signing. Firstly, it was a diplomatic coup for Wolsey and secondly the pope's need for a united Christian front meant that he appointed Wolsey as a papal legate over England.
  - - - This episode had three major consequences...Henry's ego was bruised and he was then obliged to back down, his resentment towards the emperor was reinforced when Charles repudiated (rejected) his marriage contract with Princess Mary and Wolsey's domestic prestige never really recovered

- - - - Throughout Mary’s childhood her father, Henry VIII, negotiated potential future marriages for her. She was promised to the Dauphin, the infant son of King Francis I of France, at just two years of age, but the contract was retracted after three years. In 1522, at the age of six, she was instead contracted to marry her 22-year-old first cousin, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, but this was broken off within a few years by Charles (with Henry’s agreement). Henry’s chief adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, then resumed marriage negotiations with the French, and Henry suggested that Mary marry the Dauphin’s father, King Francis I, who was eager for an alliance with England. A marriage treaty was signed which provided that Mary marry either Francis I or his second son Henry, Duke of Orleans, however an alliance was later secured with France without the need for the Mary to marry.
      - Mary (his sister) to Louis XII. (1514). Louis died on 1 Jan 1515. Within weeks Mary had secretly remarried to the Duke of Suffolk against Henry's will to use her as a diplomatic pawn. Henry VIII was furious.
