In 1544, Henry VIII led the largest army then ever raised by an
English monarch to invade France. This book investigates the
consequences of this action by examining the devastating impact of
warfare on the native population, the methods the English used to
impose their rule on the region (from the use of cartography to the
construction of fortifications) and the development of English of
colonial rule in France. As Murphy explores the significance of
this major financial and military commitment by the Tudor monarchy,
he situates the developments within the wider context of English
actions in Ireland and Scotland during the mid-sixteenth century.
Rather than consider the plantations established in the
mid-sixteenth century Ireland as the 'laboratory' for a new form of
empire, this book argues that they should be viewed along with the
Boulogne venture as the English crown's final attempt to establish
colonies through the use of state resources alone.
