The period after 1506 marked significant changes in Henry VII's foreign policy approach, particularly following major political shifts in Europe.

Highlight: The League of Cambrai represented a complex realignment of alliances, with Henry VII joining forces with Louis and Maximilian against Spain.

The death of Isabella in 1504 created new diplomatic challenges:

Example: Henry backed Philip's claim to Castile, providing a substantial loan of £135,000 for invasion purposes.

The Intercursus Malus agreement emerged from an unexpected opportunity:

Definition: A treaty signed after Philip and Juana's shipwreck in Dorset, securing the surrender of the Earl of Suffolk and favorable trade terms for England.

Quote: "Henry proposed Catherine marry Prince Henry - Ferdinand refused" - marking a significant tension point in Anglo-Spanish relations.

Page 1: Early Foreign Policy and Key Treaties

Henry VII's foreign policy initially centered around managing the Breton Crisis and establishing key diplomatic relationships. The crisis began when Anne of Beaujeu, France's regent, sought to absorb Brittany through marriage alliance.

Highlight: The Treaty of Redon 14891489 marked Henry's commitment to defend Brittany, though he only delivered half of the promised 6,000 troops.

Relations with Scotland improved gradually through strategic diplomacy. The death of James III in 1488 initially created instability, but Henry successfully normalized relations through careful negotiation.

Example: The 1502 Treaty of Perpetual Peace formalized James IV's marriage to Margaret, though border raids continued.

The Treaty of Medina del Campo 1489 established crucial Spanish relations:

Definition: A comprehensive agreement arranging the marriage of Arthur and Catherine of Aragon, including a £40,000 dowry and mutual protection against pretenders.

The Intercursus Magnus trade agreement 1496 resolved tensions with Burgundy:

Vocabulary: Intercursus Magnus - A major trade agreement allowing English merchants free trade access in Burgundy while addressing the issue of pretenders to the English throne.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
