A Dazzling Display of Power

The eloquent master diplomat Target Character has masterminded a rather expensive but effective proposal that would see the wealth and power of Country displayed whilst also improving relations with France.
A meeting of the two rulers would take place in Summit Location, near the French border, with elaborate arrangements being made to accommodate them both.
Tents weaved with gold threads and the erection of a temporary palace are some of the ideas being considered.

11377historical_info = flavor_eng.119.historical_info The Field of the Cloth of Gold was a gathering that took place in 1520, near Calais in France, which was under English control at the time, between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France. The purpose was to improve the relationship between the two kingdoms and prevent ongoing hostilities. Over several days, wealth and power were put on display and tents adorned with richly embroidered cloth of gold were set up. The event was considered a success but did little to prevent future conflicts.
