Actually, the 1514 INVASION never took place. This was only a raid, probably to test the "waters". The invasion force was 12000 strong, under the throne pretender Richard de la Pole. Peace interfered, and the army would thus fight on the fields of Marignano. |

My cousin (who was a Mod) helped destroy Brighton back in 1964 – must have been the 450th celebrations or something. |
