This video features Olivier Renaudeau, a curator from the Musée de l’Armée, examining Henry VIII's royal buckler. This is part of a five-episode series exploring objects related to Henry VIII, Francis I, and the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The series was created due to the postponement of an exhibition at the Royal Armouries, which was planned to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the diplomatic summit between England and France in 1520. The content highlights historical arms and armor from both French and English collections, with a focus on the opulence and significance of the Field of the Cloth of Gold event.
