ABSTRACT
Far more interesting than the campaigns of invasion in Henry’s earlier years, which had been led by Dorset in 1512, by the King himself in 1513, and by his brother-in-law of Suffolk in 1523, was the last military venture of the reign, the great scheme which started as a very ambitious project, the ‘Enterprise of Paris,’ a plan for crushing France in conjunction with the armies of the Emperor Charles, led by Charles himself, and which dwindled down into the siege of two isolated fortresses only a few miles within the French frontier.
