No such magnificence adorned their meeting as had been displayed at the Field of Cloth of Gold, but its solid results were far more lasting.

On 10th July Henry rode to Gravelines where the Emperor was waiting.

On the 11th they returned together to Calais, where during a three days' visit the negotiations begun at Canterbury were completed.
