The Tudors: England, 1485–1603: Edward VI & Relations with Foreign Powers👑 A-level History Learning & Revision

In this episode we discuss English foreign policy under the regencies of Somerset and Northumberland during the reign of Edward VI. Somerset's approach focused on enforcing a marriage between Edward and Mary, Queen of Scots, leading to military intervention in Scotland and the Battle of Pinkie, ultimately strengthening the Franco-Scottish alliance despite English victories. In contrast, Northumberland prioritized England's financial stability, negotiating the Treaty of Boulogne which returned territory to France and withdrew English garrisons from Scotland. While seen as a strategic retreat by some due to financial constraints and emerging threats from the Holy Roman Empire, this policy also aimed to secure a marriage alliance with France.
