Field of Cloth of Gold
In June of 1520, two Kings, Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France, each with a retinue of 6,000 nobles, courtiers and churchmen, met in such splendour in northern France. Each king trying to match and outdo the other. No expense was spared, tents and pavilions made of so much gold cloth erected to house all the nobles and courtiers, that the event became known as the Field of Cloth of Gold.
