Gold and Glory – Henry VIII and the French King – Catherine Brooks

This week we have an exclusive report from Catherine Brooks on the Hampton Court Palace exhibition all about the Field of Cloth of Gold. Catherine goes into the history of the Palace and then moves on to showing some wonderful photos of the items at the exhibition while also sharing some of the history of the historic meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I in 1520.
