[PU: New Haven and London: Yale University Press], XII, 275 p.: Ill. Cloth with dustjacket. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht bestoßen und berieben, sonst guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly scuffed and rubbed, otherwise good condition. - Glenn Richardson provides the first history for more than four decades of a major Tudor event: an extraordinary international gathering of Renaissance rulers unparalleled in opulence, pageantry, controversy and mystery. Throughout most of the late medieval period, from 1300 to 1500, England and France were bitter enemies, if not at war then on the brink of it. In 1520, in an effort to bring conflict to an end, England’s monarch, Henry VIII, and Francis I of France agreed to meet, surrounded by virtually their entire political nations, at ‘the Field of Cloth of Gold’. In the midst of a spectacular festival of competition and entertainment, the rival leaders hoped to secure a permanent settlement between them, as part of a European-wide ‘Universal Peace’. Richardson offers a bold new appraisal of this remarkable historical event, describing the preparations and execution of the magnificent gathering, exploring its ramifications, and arguing that it was far more than the extravagant elitist theatre and cynical charade it has historically been considered to be. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Map of the Pale of Calais in the Reign of Henry VIII Preface Introduction: Why the Field of Cloth of Gold? 1 European War and ‘Universal Peace’ 2 Two Stars in One Firmament 3 Equal in Honour 4 Right Chivalrous in Arms 5 Generous to a Fault 6 The Cold Light of Day Epilogue: A Renaissaince Peace Conference?
