in 1520, an event named; 'the field of the cloth of gold', took place in calais (at the time, the city was part of england rather than france). it was held to celebrate peace between france and england because they had been at war for a long time. loads of money was spent on it. people enjoyed music, dancing, food, wine and culture for two-and-a-half weeks. henry famously wrestled king francis i of france and lost. despite this, england and france were soon fighting again. after they signed a treaty in 1525, there was less fighting.
