- I'm told that there was a meeting of Henry VIII and Francois I of France
- at a place called the Field of Cloth of Gold in France. It was a rather
- lavish affair, wherein the fountains gushed various kinds of wine
- from some spigots and water from others.
-
- I would like to know more about why this meeting took place and why
- the meeting place is called the Field of Cloth of Gold.
-
- Please reply to me directly by email. Thanks.
