1528
War Declaration by England and France Against Charles V
& Quick Truce
The French alliance bore fruit in a joint declaration of war made by an English and a French herald to the emperor at Burgos on 22 January 1528.
On 13 February 1528, Wolsey explained the causes of this war to a meeting in the Star-chamber.
It was very unpopular, and led not only to interruption of commerce, but also to serious industrial difficulties within the realm, the Suffolk clothiers having to dismiss their men because they had no vent for their cloths. In Flanders the state of matters was no less intolerable, and a truce, so far as England and Flanders were concerned, was agreed to from 1 May 1528 to the end of February 1529.
