TheTreaty of the More was concluded on 30 August 1525 betweenHenry VIII and the interim French government ofLouise of Savoy. It was celebrated by Henry and the French ambassadors atthe More,Hertfordshire, a castle owned by Henry's chief minister,Cardinal Wolsey.[1][2]
England, with Wolsey negotiating, agreed to give up some territorial claims on France, receiving in return a pension from the French of £20,000 a year. France settled what was owed to Henry VIII's sister,Mary, dowager queen of France.[3] England also agreed to work to secure the release ofKing Francis of France, then held prisoner byCharles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain.
England had been troubled by the threat of a renewal of the "Auld Alliance" between France and Scotland, and France agreed to prevent the ScottishDuke of Albany's return to Scotland.[4]
