FLIP LEARNING TASK: On the blog there is a sheet that looks at what Europe was like in 1485. You will need to revise and learn this for next lesson. You might even want to create your own version! Also, using the information on page 28, write down what Henry’s problems are in terms or foreign policy and also what his aims were. At the end of last lesson you were given this independent learning. Its now time to see what you have come up with. Based on your information which you had to revise from, can you answer the following questions: Who was the ruler of each country? Which countries are likely to be friendly towards England? Why? Which countries are likely to cause problems for England? Why?

Lets discuss…

IRELAND SPAIN ITALY FRANCE BRITTANNY ENGLAND SCOTLAND HRE BURGUNDY

How well did Henry VII build up his control over his country? Good learning: Understand Henry’s aims on foreign policy Great learning: Explain what henry did in relation to foreign policy (1485-1502) Even better: Evaluate how successful Henry’s foreign policy was Key Word: How did relations with foreign powers change and how was the succession secured?

(refer back to homework sheet if needed) What were Henry’s aims in relation to foreign policy? For your homework you were asked to write down Henry’s problems and aims in relation to foreign policy. Firstly, check your information with the list below: Problems: Henry VII’s legal status as king was insecure as there were other claimants to the throne. Henry VII’s lack of money Aims: 1. Gain acceptance of his right to rule from other monarchs Why this was important: Rivals might seek shelter/assistance from other countries. Recognition might give him more credibility 2. Do not intervene on the continent i.e. avoid costly and potentially dangerous foreign entanglements Task: Based on these aims, which countries do you think would be most important for Henry to think about? (refer back to homework sheet if needed)

So what was Henry’s foreign policy? Now that we understand Henry’s aims, we need to look at what Henry did in relation to his foreign policy. On a separate A3 sheet of paper, you will need to divide your page into 6 sections and put the following headings in each box: SPAIN: Treaty Medina del Campo (1489) ENGLAND: Navigation Acts (1485-86) and An Act (1489) ITALY: Florence/Venice (1490) BURGUNDY: Intercursus Magnus (1496) BRITTANY/FRANCE: Breton Crisis (1488-92) SCOTLAND: Truce of Ayton (1497) (we will look at these last two afterwards) Us the information on pages 28-30 to help you. Task: Each table is going to be given a foreign policy to look at and an A3 sheet of paper. As a group you need to include the key information of the policy. The catch is you can only use 15 WORDS, but as many pictures as you like! You will need to describe what happened and how successful it was for Henry in terms of meeting the aims of his foreign policy. One person will then stay and teach other people, whist the rest of you collect the information to bring back to the table.

Breton Crisis (1488-1492) France had plans to take over Brittany (expansionist f.policy) - Brittany had provided HVII hospitality whilst he was in exile - France gave Henry financial assistance in 1485 = compromised! Hundreds of volunteers under Lord Scales sent into Brittany HVII acted as a mediator between the two courts. Breton’s refused to listen, so Henry disowned Scales Brittany are defeated at the battle of St. Aubin du Cormier. Duke of Brittany died - daughter (12) took over. France claim custody Henry in awkward position (take over = France more powerful, invasion base, disrupt trade) HVII: T.of.Medina del Campo and renewed a treaty with Maximillian T.of.Redon 1489: Brittany pay the cost of 6000 men & HVII send them Initial success at Dixmunde but… Maximillian: unreliable (concerned with empire) Spain: sent 2000 but recalled (Moors of Granada) 1491 Anne marries King Charles of France France received the pretender Warbeck HVII sent 26,000 men into Brittany Treaty of Etaples 1492: Henry takes troops out of Brittany, and France stop supporting Warbeck and give HVII 745,000 crowns (50,000 pa)

Truce of Ayton (1497) Henry & James IV made a truce when HVII came to the throne But… James IV took in Warbeck – invasion came to nothing At the same time there was a rebellion in Cornwall James IV = losing faith in Warbeck and did not take advantage Truce of Ayton came into full force when Warbeck was executed Such an agreement had not been reached since 1328 Treaty sealed by the marriage of James to Margaret (daughter) But, Scotland did not abandon their ancient pact with France This meant that peace depended on the continuation of good relations between England and France Out of all Henry VII’s foreign policies, which one would you say was the most successful?

Overall, how successful was Henry’s foreign policy? Task: Write a review and give a score out of 5 for how successful Henry was with his foreign policy
