Answer
The Field of the Cloth of Gold was a lavish meeting between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France in 1520. Despite its extravagance, the meeting failed to produce a lasting alliance between the two monarchs. Henry VIII ultimately allied with Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire against France, leading to the Anglo-French War of 1522-1526.
