      • Made Henry's aims for military glory in France difficult to achieve
    • 1509-29
      • Problem: Quickly after 1520 Field of Cloth of Gold, Henry and Wolsey were made to look powerless by Francis and Charles going to war
        • Forced Henry to break Treaty of London and Field of Cloth of Gold by allying with Charles in 1521 and invading France in 1523
    • 1523-25
      • Failure: Failed invasion of France in 1523
      • Problem: Lack of support from Charles in invading France
        • Dysfunctional alliance
      • Amicable Grant in connection to foreign policy 1525
        • Failure: Had to be withdrawn quickly as people couldn't afford to pay due to unemployment and inflation

                • Dangerous - troops refused to fight against neighbours

              • Missed oppurtunity
              • Charles had no desire to invade France
