I When François I ascended to the French throne on New Year’s Day 1515, the politics of the British Isles were the least of his concerns. Rather, his immediate preoccupation was the vindication of the French crown’s rights in Italy. Yet seven years later, the exigencies of continental politics propelled him to engage in intrigue with the tenth earl of Desmond amongst others to undermine the Tudor régime in England. The death of King Ferdinand of Aragon in 1516 and of the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, in 1519 created the prospect of a vast accumulation of territories under the sceptre of one ruler with ancestral claims to Burgundy.
Desmond’s presentation of his proposals is also unique when compared with later episodes of Franco-Irish intrigue. At a time when the Guise faction, which was to be the key target of Irish solicitations for aid in subsequent decades, was as yet unheard of at the French court, it was the French king and French Yorkist sympathisers to whom he addressed his appeals for assistance. Desmond’s strategy was also unusual and particularly farsighted in that he only admitted a handful of Irish lords as parties to the 1523 agreement.
29 FRANCO-IRISH RELATIONS, 1500–1610 François dispatched an envoy to Ireland on three occasions. 6 François I had four French commissioners draw up a formal treaty at Saint-Germain-en-Laye on 4 March 1523, setting out his terms and those of the earl of Desmond. 8 In the event of an English attack on Ireland, the French king pledged to defend his Irish allies. The French were also to acquire the southern ports of Youghal, Kinsale and Cork as guarantees of Desmond’s bona fides. The earl was intent upon harnessing French backing for his own agenda, requiring that François I should support him in punishing those within his patrimony who refused to pay their seigneurial dues.
