Despite being brothers-in-law (Francis was married to Charles's sister Eleanor of Austria) and being politically allied sometimes, the 2 didn't get along. Francis was even Charles's prisoner for a spell.

In the upper right, Bishop John Fisher (later executed by Henry VIII for opposing his divorce) preaches the sermon.

@GreyRevisited These parodies of the 'Ladybird Books' are a hoot! 😆😀

What a beautiful piece of fabric! 👍
