June 1625 CE

Buckingham now negotiates with the French regent, Cardinal Richelieu, for English ships to aid Richelieu in his fight against the French Protestants (Huguenots), in return for French aid against the Spanish occupying the Palatinate.

Seven English warships are to participate in operations against La Rochelle and in the Siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré (1625), but Parliament is disgusted and horrified at the thought of English Protestants fighting French Protestants.

The plan only fuels their fears of crypto-Catholicism at court.
