Thomas Wolsey Puns

(Divorced from Catherine of Aragon)

How well did he serve Henry's interests, and as his chief minister? Also, semi-related, was Wolsey always loyal to the king or just loyal to maintain his position?

The paragraph itself:

"With that I looked out into the street, and there I espied where the officers of the town brought a prisoner to execution. Whose head they struck off with a sword. And when I demanded the cause of his offence, it was answered me that it was for killing of a red deer in the forest thereby, the punishment whereof is but death." (Page 88-89, Cavendish)

• Were hunting laws in England and France at the time so strict in all parts of the kingdoms?

• Were hunting laws even uniform throughout these kingdoms?

• Were there specific regulations where the killing of a red deer in particular was punished with death but smaller animals could be hunted?

More relevant to the book itself, did members of the clergy such as Wolsey or other high ranking clergymen hunt? If so, were they primarily hunting for sport or food?

1. Standard power grab.
2. Outwitting a rival.
3. Straight up debate about the virtues of the other.

Bonus: Applying for a bank loan.

I remember watching the first season of "The Tudors" and being interested in Sam Neil's portrayal of Cardinal Wolsey, and was wondering how much did Henry VIII rely on him? Are there any books you would recommend that would cover this man or Henry's court?

edit: Damn, forgot the question mark in the title.

She doesn't look happy.

There are many versions of Anne’s story. Some say that she was a cold-blooded temptress who set her sights on Henry in hope of gaining power. Other’s claim that she was a romantic heroine who fell for the wrong man. I don't believe either of these versions. I think Henry was a powerful, entitled stalker who obsessively harassed and tried to bully Anne into becoming his mistress. He was the Tudor equivalent of Gaston, chasing a woman he couldn't have and causing grief for her and her family if he didn't get his way.

She was originally engaged to Henry Percy and all historical accounts agree that theirs was a love match. Unfortunately for Anne, Wolsey forbid the marriage to happen and sent Percy away because Henry wanted her for himself. This was the start of Anne’s hatred towards Wolsey and probably even Henry. Percy was married off to someone else severing any hope for him and Anne.

Anne even left the court for a year after Henry made his intentions known. He was the one making all the moves, not the other way around. He bombarded her with gifts and love letters that give us some insights. We don't know how Anne responded to these letters, but the letters from Henry tell us that she was polite but unresponsive when he approached her about being his mistress. It is often said that Anne was playing hard to get but those letters make me think otherwise. I think Henry’s massive ego couldn't handle the rejection so he just insisted that she was teasing him.

Later on, in 1525, she returned to court and had another romance with a poet called Thomas Wyatt, but he soon backed off when he realized Henry was persuing Anne. I think it’s entirely possible that Anne and Thomas were in love but kept each other at arm's length so Henry could separate the two of them. Just look what happened to Henry Percy. If I were Anne I’d keep my feelings to myself for fear of losing the man I loved.

It’s important to remember that Henry had a very warped sense of chivalry and an even worse understanding of what it means to be in love. Saying no to Henry was dangerous. I sincerely believe that KOA was the only queen that truly loved and wanted to be with Henry and he treated her like dirt, despite her devotion to him. The same applies to the other queens and mistresses. He would interfere and break off engagements, pursue th

In April 1508, Thomas Wolsey had been sent north to Scotland to discuss rumors of a renewal of the Auld Alliance with the King of Scotland James IV.

In October of 1509, Wolsey would once again journey northward. His mission was similar - this time he was sent with news for the King of Scotland.

The King of England, Henry VIII, had given Wolsey a letter for the King of Scotland indicating his interest in a formal renewal of the terms of the 1502 Treaty of Perpetual Peace. The letter, written from the hand of the King, pledges to uphold the exact terms and wording of the Treaty for the remainder of his reign (unless the Treaty were to break for some wacky and unexpected reason) if the King of Scotland also agrees to do so.

In 1507, King Henry VII fell ill. This was hardly the first illness of the King and indeed hardly the first illness the King had endured during his reign, but as the weeks turned to months and the pages of the calendar flipped it became clear that this illness was not one that would disappear without a trace. Indeed, it lingered through 1507 and into 1508. By July of 1508 the King had already become quite frail and after July he would lose his ability to walk unaided. Already having revised his last will and testament during his initial bout of illness in 1507 it was deemed unnecessary to have the Prince of Wales return to London before the conclusion of his Royal Tour throughout France and Burgundy.

This, however, does not mean there were not close calls. In August, the King officially moved his residence to Richmond Palace and would not, from this point on, take foreign dignitaries. The trip from London to Surrey was one that proved difficult for the King and in mid-August, he would collapse even with the help of his aides and remain bedridden until February of 1509.

By the end of February, some clouds seemed to break for the King. He was once more coherent and well enough to at least hold conversation (though still too weak for dignitaries) and it is at this point that the Prince of Wales would spend the most time with his father before his death. His cough lingered and his already frail constitution was further exacerbated by the sheer amount of weight he’d lost since the beginning of his illness, but he could sit up and listen as well as participate in conversation with his son.

The King remained in this state until the 20th of March when the signs of disease once more began to show, but this time something had begun to arise that concerned all of the councilors. A harsh cough.

On March 24th, the King once more collapsed while on a stroll in the gardens with his aides. For the last time, the King would be carried to his bed and for the rest of his life, he would remain there.

20th April, 1509

The Prince of Wales looked upon his fathers frail figure with a hanging brow. For all the problems they’d had with each other - Arthur, responsibility, trust - this was still his father. His father who’s body shook violently, blood dripping from the corners of

[21st January, 1510]

In the early afternoon, the people of London were once more treated to the presence of the King. The open-air State Procession gathering of Parliament began, from the King's current residence in the apartments of Windsor Castle.

The King, along with his Household Retinue processed from Windsor to Westminster Abbey, where the King then attended a Mass of the Holy Ghost. From there, the King and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal processed from the Abbey to the Palace, where the State Opening would occur.

King Henry entered the hall of Westminster and sat upon his Throne before the Cloth of Estate, crowned and adorned in a crimson robe of state.

To his right sits William Warham, the Lord Chancellor of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Further right, sits the Almoner Thomas Wolsey. Behind the bench sits Richard FitzJames, the Bishop of London. The Cap of Maintenance and the Sword of State are borne by peers standing to the left and right of Henry respectively while the Lord Great Chamberlain stands alongside bearing his white wand of office. Meanwhile, the members of His Majesty's Royal Retinue crowd far to the left of the King.

In the center of the chamber, to the Kings right sit the Bishops and the Mitred Abbots behind them. The Lords Temporal sit to the King's left on a a cross-bench. Prior of the Knights Hospitaller, Premier Baron in the roll of peers is dressed in black and sits at the end of the cross-bench. The Judges, red-robed and coifed, are on woolsacks in the center of the bench array and behind them kneel the clerks with quills and inkports.

At the bottom of the chamber, members of the House of Commons can be seen behind the Bar of the House with Sir Thomas Englefield, Speaker of the House of Commons in the center wearing his black and gold robe of state.

The King looked towards William Warham, who nodded and stood.

"Lords both Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons. The King has called a Parliament of Both Houses to discuss those Acts of Parliament which are most necessary for the Kingdom to function, and to introduce the Rule of His Majesty for the first time."

Warham sat back down, and the King himself rose.

"My Father before me, may God rest his soul, was a man I do not intend to emulate. The subjects before me may hear th

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

In our time line, James VI and I's heir was Prince Henry, who died in 1612. But if things had gone differently, and Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators had succeeded in blowing up Parliament in 1605, Henry would have succeeded his father as King IX at the age of 12. There would have to be a regency council to rule until he was of age. It would be interesting to see if any Scottish lords were allowed in the council, or if only English lord would have been on it. This might have resulted in a Scottish rebellion. At this time, there were very few heirs to the throne. James took the throne of England because there wee no heirs for England. And he became King of Scotland because Mary had no other heirs.

Cardinal Wolsey would probably have led the council and ruled England until Henry was old enough. But Thomas Wolsey, Earl of Sussex, was Wolsey's rival, and had wanted to be First Minister. He was also the Earl Marshal, and therefore a major force in the realm.

Edward Somerset, Earl of Worcester, was Earl Marshal of Scotland and Lord Privy Seal. He, too, was a major force in both England and Scotland. He may have succeeded in keeping Scotland under control.

All of this assuming that the Lords didn't die in the explosion.

Henry was known in his later years (he died at 18) to be a strong Protestant. I don't know how strong his religious beliefs were at the age of 12, but the Gunpowder Plotters wanted to blow up Parliament to put Henry's younger sister, Elizabeth, on the throne, raise her as a Catholic, and marry her off to a Catholic prince.

How might things have worked out?

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Concerning the death of Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758-1805), the Wikipedia article states:

After a four-hour service, he was interred within a crypt, in a sarcophagus originally carved for Cardinal Wolsey;[249] the sarcophagus and its base had been previously taken over for the tomb of Henry VIII, which was never completed.[250]

Footnotes: 
249: Hibbert, Christopher (1994). Nelson A Personal History. Basic Books, p. 394.
250: The Archaeological Journal, Volume 51. 1894. p. 160.

For a quick recap of their death years (according to their Wiki articles):

• Thomas Wolsey 1473-1530
• Henry VIII 1491-1547
• Horatio Nelson 1758 - 1805

On page 161 of the Archaeological Journal, the author quotes Ellis's Edition of Dugdale's St. Pauls, p. 213: "the sarcophagus and pedestal were brought from Wolsey's tomb-house at Winsor. They were the same which the Cardinal had prepared for the reception of his own body in the time of Henry VIII."

So Wolsey commissioned a sarcophagus, but fell out of favor, Henry VIII intended to use it himself but that project was scrapped, and then what happened in the 250 years till Nelson's death?

Perhaps a few additional questions that can be touched upon, if the above is too elusive:

What permitted Nelson to use this sarcophagus? Was this sarcophagus something "random" lying around? Were they aware of who had previously used it? Was there a number of old, unused sarcophagi lying around in London? What were sarcophagus-related funerary practices like at that time in England?

Thank you very much! Enjoy your weekend. :)
