The battle secured the defeat of the poorly organised Welles Uprising against King Edward IV, but ultimately led to the defection of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick and the king's brother George, Duke of Clarence to the Lancastrian cause after they were forced to flee the country having been implicated in the rebellion.

To ratify Richard's claim to the throne, to pass legislation leading to the attainder of 114 traitors, to enact reforming legislation to end the abuse of power by local officials
The results of this rebellion led the rebels to receive a royal pardon, and no further taxes were collected, thus Henry was unable to get enough money to defend Brittany. He also became aware of the lawless nature of the North of England, which had been loyal to King Richard III, who had spent more time in the North than any previous King of England.[citation needed]
Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, who was sent to deal with the Yorkist threat, was made into Henry's Lieutenant in the North. With no estates or interests in the north, Surrey was able to spend many years reconciling the region to Tudor rule.[1]
As a result Charles Duke of Burgundy aids Edward so that he can win back his throne and then support Burgundy against France.
The two kings agreed to a seven-year truce and free-trade between the two countries. Louis XI was to pay a yearly pension of 50,000 crowns.
Alliance between England and Spain, marriage between C of A and Arthur.
Based on the terms of the accord, Henry sent 6000 English troops to fight (at the expense of Brittany) under the command of Lord Daubeney. The purpose of the agreement was to prevent France from annexing Brittany.
Frane agrred: to give no further aid to English rebels, to pay the cost of transporting HVII's army back to England, to pay the arrears of the pension agreed in Picquigny

Ended the trade embargo established during the Warbeck threat. The treaty granted reciprocal trade privileges to English and Flemings and established fixed duties.[5] These certainties greatly aided English export of wool, and thus both Henry VII's treasury.
Secured temporary peace with Scotland.
It agreed to end the intermittent warfare between Scotland and England which had been waged over the previous two hundred years and although it failed in this respect, as the hostility continued intermittently throughout the 16th century, it led to the Union of the Crowns 101 years later.
Secured by the marriage of Margaret to James IV in 1503,dependent on England's continued good relations with France
C of A was to marry Henry when he came of age
United England and Burgundy against France; encouraged Phillip of Burgundy to lay claim to Spain, angering Ferdinand
A shipwreck in 1506 left Philip stranded in England. This enabled Henry to negotiate the Intercursus Malus. This replacement removed all duties from English textile exports without reciprocity and with little compensation for the Burgundians.
This was a league of major powers allied against the city state of Venice. Henry VII was not included in the signatories – the League had moved a long way from Henry’s dream of an anti-Spanish alliance along with finance for a crusade against the Turks. The League of Cambrai did not threaten any of England’s interests but Henry felt humiliated and isolated as he neared the end of his reign.
Based on the terms of the accord, Henry sent 6000 English troops to fight (at the expense of Brittany) under the command of Lord Daubeney. The purpose of the agreement was to prevent France from annexing Brittany.
Henry VII’s Statutes on Retaining merely repeated the Statute passed by Edward IV in 1468. Hence, Henry VII did little to inhibit retaining in the early part of his reign especially as after 1497 things were more peaceful in England so nobles scaled down their armies as they were expensive to maintain. Henry’s approach changed later in the reign.
