1544 invasion of France
Henry ignored Paris and divided his forces. Norfolk unsuccessfully besieged Montreuil but Suffolk and Henry captured Boulogne on 18th September, the same day that Charles made peace with France.
The only prize of this expedition then was Boulogne and Henry would not let this go! This decision had important implications for England.
As \a port it was difficult to defend but Henry had it garrisoned and rebuilt to withstand French attacks. In 1544 the cost of its maintenance was £130,000. This brought the total cost of the campaign to £1 million. In 1545 the French launched a counter-invasion against the English coast with the intention of capturing the Isle-of-Wight. Henry’s pride and joy, the Mary Rose, was sunk with the loss of 500men.
In 1546 Henry signed the Treaty of Camp in June. Henry was allowed to keep Boulogne for eight years and was granted a resumption of the pension won by Edward IV in 1475 but eventually h sold it back cheaper than what he had spent to fortify it.
