The Field of the Cloth of Gold ( French : Camp du Drap d'Or , pronounced [kɑ̃ dy dʁa d‿ɔʁ] ) was a summit meeting between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France from 7 to 24 June 1520. Held at Balinghem , between Ardres in France and Guînes in the English Pale of Calais , it was an opulent display of wealth by both kings. [1]
