Henry VIII and Francis I met in Calais and Boulogne: The stated primary purpose of the meeting was for the monarchs to plan a joint crusade against the Turks. Henry VIII solicited the support of Francis I in the "Great Matter." Francis promised to use his influence with the Pope. Francis sent two cardinals to Rome to inform Clement VII of the alliance and to assure the Pope of his protection against any threats from Emperor Charles V.

As a sign of their friendship, Henry VIII sent his natural son, the duke of Richmond, to be brought up in France, whille the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk were admitted to the order of St. Michael and Montmorency and Chabot became members of the order of the Garter. The Provost of Paris on behalf of Francis I presented Anne Boleyn with a diamond as a token of his esteem.

Gérard Roussel, Marguerite de Navarre's almoner, preaches before large crowds at the Louvre: During Lent of 1531 had been accused by the Paris Faculty of Theology of preaching heresy before Marguerite de Navarre at the Louvre. During Lent of 1533, Roussel again stirred up the Theology Faculty with another series of sermons.

Six bachelors in theology were instructed to preach in Paris against Lutheranism.

Students of the Collège de Navarre staged a satirical play attacking Marguerite de Navarre, the King's sister: Marguerite is depicted as preaching heresy at the instigation of a fury, called Mégère ( a pun on Roussel's name). The play came to Marguerite's attention, and the college was raided by the prévôt de Paris.

Marguerite de Navarre's Miroir de l'âme pécheresse ('Mirror of the Sinful Soul') appeared on the University's list of banned books: Marguerite had published the text anonymously. Francis I came to his sister's defense and demanded an explanation from Nicholas Cop, the rector of the University. Cop insisted on the removal of the work from the list and demanded that an apology be sent to the king.

Francis I mets Pope Clement VII in Marseilles:On October 27 the contract for the marriage of Henri duc d'Orléans, the son of Francis I, and Catherine de' Medici, the Pope's niece, was signed.

No formal treaty emerged from meetings. Topics that were discussed were undoubtedly: the spread of heresy in France, the calling of a General Council, and the question of Henry VIII's divorce. Francis I sought the pope's support in his claims to territories in Italy.

Parisian Parlement arrested presumed heretics: Some say 50, others 300, individuals are arrested. The Faculty of Theology establishes a commission to collaborate with the Parlement to investigates members of the faculty. Both Parlement and Faculty of Theology report their findings to Francis I, who responds, "We are angry and displeased to learn that...this damned heretical Lutheran sect is flourishing in our good town of Paris."
