<p>On 7 June 1520, Henry VIII of England and François I of France met at the Field of Cloth of Gold. For three weeks on English soil in Northern France, the two Kings - and the 12,000 who accompanied them - feasted, jousted, and made merry. This party without parallel was a peace summit between the two countries, arranged by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. </p><br><p>A new exhibition at Hampton Court, called <em>Gold and Glory</em>, explores this seminal event through paintings, objects, and manuscripts. In this edition of <em>Not Just the Tudors</em>, Suzannah Lipscomb takes a tour around the exhibition with one of its curators, Dr. Alden Gregory.</p>
