The battle of the Spurs (1513) and the Battle of Flodden (1513), although to some considered small skirmishes, did make the countries of Europe start to notice England as a possible threat and certainly now knew about Henry VIII. England didn’t really gain the Honour and Glory that Henry VIII claimed they had gained through these two battles but it certainly did make other countries start to notice England and Henry VIII. One big success that Henry VIII did manage to accomplish in the early years of his reign was that he was able to gain the French pension he felt England deserved. After the capturing of the two towns Tournai and Thérouanne Henry demanded the French compensate the English for the areas that had been previously under English control.

In Defense of Emperor Bonaparte Sirs, I stand before you today in defense of the former Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, whose reign of France for over two centuries liberated her from a nation full of chaos and internal strife during the Revolution; to a nation of strength and stability, now capable of forging a place for itself in international affairs. Through the Napoleonic Code which he established, citizens gained the equality of their basic rights which they rebelled for during the Revolution. This not only restored harmony, order, and unity to France, but simplified the legal system that was previously in place. France was strengthened both economically and politically in numerous ways by Emperor Bonaparte, such as when he restored the relations with the Catholic Church by signing the Concordat with Pope Pius VII. An added economic benefit came to France by this political move of Napoleon’s when the Church restored to France property that previously belonged to them which the Church had seized during the Revolution.
