  • Wolsey's foreign policy
    • He wanted to create a better relationship with both France and the Habsburg Empire. This will make sure that England is not left diplomatically isolated, with France and the Habsburg Empire becoming allies against them.
    • He wanted to provide opportunities for Henry to gain military glory in battle. Although, he frequently warn Henry against expensive wars, he knows that Henry wants glory on the battlefield and his own position depends on serving the king's interests.
    • He will provide opportunities for playing one power (France) against the other (Habsburg Empire) to England's advantage.
    • If Henry is seen as the European peacemaker, it will give him the International prestige
