Episode description
The Field of Cloth of Gold was a huge party/festival/show of power thrown by Henry VIII of England (yes that Henry the 8th) and Francis I of France to show their desire for better relations and to subtly attempt to outshine each other and 5000 of their friends. Learn all about the fun, from the tens of thousands of gallons of wine to the King on King wrestling match.
