Description:
Attended King Henry at the meeting of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. It was a meeting between Henry and Francis I of France. For two weeks each king tried to outshine the other, with dazzling tents and clothes, huge feasts, music, jousting, and games. The tents and the costumes displayed so much cloth of gold, an expensive fabric woven with silk and gold thread, that the meeting site was named after it.
