The Field of the Cloth of Gold - Universal Peace - Extra History - Part 1

📜 The History of the Field of the Cloth of Gold: Universal Peace - When people think of the age of knights and kings, there's one image that comes forward as readily as shining armor and that's the tournament! And this particular tournament will go down in history as one of the most lavish and expansive affairs as a way to broker peace between Henry the VIII of England and Francis I of France. The two kings were locked in a bitter rivalry and were determined to outshine (and outspend) the other.
