Then there were the resurgent Scots. Within a year, however, the Scottish king wed French noblewoman Mary of Guise, further strengthening his alliance with France. From the English perspective the situation soured even further in , for not only was there a reconciliation between Charles and Francis, but also Pope Paul III formally excommunicated Henry.
In February Henry sent an ambassador to Scotland and in August of the next year headed north himself for talks in York, but James snubbed him. Matters came to a head in October when English troops crossed the border and burned a score of villages before crossing back into England.
They had advanced less than a mile when pinned against the River Esk by a small but mobile English army and defeated at the Battle of Solway Moss. That fight salvaged a delicate situation for Henry.
James V, who was ill and not present at the battle, died three weeks later, just six days after his Mary gave birth to their daughter Mary, the future queen of Scots. When leading Scots voiced their preference for Francis, Henry negotiated a secret treaty with Charles V, the two agreeing on a major invasion of France within two years.
In July, despite internal opposition, Scotland signed the Treaty of Greenwich, conditionally accepting the marriage of Edward and Mary, but in December the Scottish Parliament formally rejected the treaty and instead renewed its Auld Alliance with France. The next spring an irate Henry launched further incursions into Scotland, the opening clashes in a punitive war known as the Rough Wooing.
While Henry and Charles had agreed they would invade France by late June , they differed on strategy—the Spaniard favored a pincer attack on Paris, while the Englishman was focused on taking Boulogne.
Then, to the dismay of his counselors, Henry announced he would sail to Calais and personally lead the besieging army. Though hampered by bad weather and a shortage of powder, the English ultimately prevailed, the city surrendering after six weeks of nearly continuous artillery bombardment.
The Spaniard had no such scruples, however, and made a separate peace with France. The English-French power struggle continued after the fall of Boulogne—in , for example, the French managed token landings on the Isle of Wight and in Sussex —but neither country had the strength or resources to engage in all-out war.
French attempts to retake Boulogne failed, as did English attempts to gain more territory, and in Henry and Francis concluded a weary peace. When Henry's third wife Jane Seymour died, he was sent paintings of noble women from around Europe to look at.
