1524-29 - Peace maintained

Cards (4)

  • Despite Henry’s hopes of campaigning again in 1524, the plans petered out, partly at Wolsey’s instigation.
  • In 1525, Henry VIII again hoped to invade France after Francis I was captured by Charles V during the Battle of Pavia in Northern Italy.
  • However Charles V was not interested in Henry's ambitions, so peace was made with France in 1525 and maintained until 1543.
  • Henry's determination to divorce Catherine of Aragon by 1527 helped to undermine relations with Charles and to strengthen relations with France.
