France agreed to stop supporting English pretenders and paid Henry VII a pension. Within the broader Tudor Britain period, dynastic consolidation, Reformation, closer incorporation of Wales and Ireland, and rivalry with Catholic Europe transformed the state. This event is placed at 1492 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The treaty improved Tudor security and demonstrated Henry's preference for financially advantageous diplomacy.
