Description
1520 explores the characters of two larger-than-life kings, whose rivalry and love-hate relations added a
feisty edge to European relations in the early sixteenth century. What propelled them to meet, and how did
each vie to outdo the other in feats of strength and yards of gold cloth? Everyone who was anyone in 1520
was there. But why was the flower of England’s nobility transported across the Channel, and how were they
catered for? What did this temporary, fairy-tale village erected in a French field look like, feel like and smell
like? This book explores not only the political dimension of their meeting and the difficult triangle they
established with Emperor Charles V, but also the material culture behind the scenes. While the courtiers
attended masques, dances, feasts and jousts, an army of servants toiled in the temporary village created
especially for that summer. Who were the men and women behind the scenes? What made Henry rush back
into the arms of the Emperor immediately after the most expensive two weeks of his entire reign? And what
was the long-term result of the meeting, of that sea of golden tents and fountains spouting wine? This
quinquecentenary analysis explores the extraordinary event in unprecedented detail. Based on primary
documents, plans, letters and records of provisions and with a new focus on material culture, food, textiles,
planning and organization.
