Henry VIII decided to attack France, and Thomas Wolsey was commissioned to gather and equip an army. The reason was mainly that the French, along with the Scots, constituted a threat against English merchant vessels. By uniting with the German- Roman Emperor Maximilian, England would according to plan gain striking power. From the English garrison of Calais, Henry draw forth with 25 000 men towards Throuanne, which city he, diverted by a parallel attack at sea, soon had taken in cooperation with Maximilian. Then he besieged and took Tornai at Lille. At the same time had queen Catherine beaten a Scottish attack in a decisive battle at Flodden.
