This is part of a series exploring objects related to the historical 'Field of the Cloth of Gold,' a diplomatic summit between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France in 1520. The series was created as a virtual replacement for an exhibition delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Royal Armouries, the UK's national collection of arms and armour, presents these films, showcasing historical artifacts and their connection to significant royal events.
