The Field of Cloth of Gold is one of the most famous foreign policy events in Henry VIII's reign, and it has stayed with us in part because of its amazing pageantry. Glenn Richardson is a professor of Early Modern History at St Mary's University Twickenham London, and wrote a great study of the Field in 2013.

For more information on Professor Richardson, go to http://www.englandcast.com for full show notes. Also, please remember to leave a rating on itunes if you like the show - it's a huge help! Thanks!
