While Henry, anxious as he was to aid his sister, was fettered by the fear that English intervention would bring French intervention in its train and endanger the newly concluded alliance, Albany succeeded in evading the English cruisers and landing in the May of 1515.

He was at once declared Protector of the realm by the Parliament at Edinburgh.

Margaret on the other hand was driven into Stirling, and after a short siege forced to take refuge in England.

The influence of Albany and the French party whom he headed secured for Francis in any struggle the aid of Scotland.

But neither Henry nor his minister really dreaded danger from the Treaty of Cambray; on the contrary it solved all their difficulties.
