France's Military Invasion
I achieved many military in my reign as King of England, but I am most known for the biggest invasion of France. My early military crusades began when I hitched with Pope Julius II’s Holy League against France in 1511. The Scots were defeated at Flodden in 1513, they saw this war as an opening to invade England. I was known as the ‘father of the Royal Navy’. When I became the King of England there were 5 royal warships, but during my final years, I had built up a navy of more than 50 ships. Between 1509 and 1511 I was behind the commissioning of England’s first gunship called Mary Rose which was my pride and joy and unfortunately sunk later in 1545 – I was devastated when she sank. In the 1540’s I created great numbers of costal fortresses
to defend England against invasion. The French armies who landed on the English Coast Line between 1545 and 1546 were defeated. I was always motivated to cultivate a strong army which was equipped with the most powerful weapons. I emerged victorious in the battle of Flodden against the Scots. My aspiration was to be a more powerful and a victorious empire.
