About this title

Synopsis

This book is an insightful historical narrative of the diplomatic relations between England and Venice during the tumultuous period of the "League of Cambrai" from 1509 to 1519, a period characterised by international intrigue and conflict. The author draws from the Venetian Archives to reveal the complex interplay between the rivalry of European powers, the ambitions of monarchs, and the strategic considerations of alliances. The book delves into the intricate negotiations, shifting alliances, and military conflicts that shaped the landscape of European politics during this era. Through this exploration, the author brings to light the underlying forces that influenced the decisions of key players like Henry VIII and Pope Julius II, and provides a fresh perspective on the diplomatic manoeuvrings that ultimately shaped the political landscape of Europe.
