Beschreibung
Proud greedy corrupt and driven by overwhelming personal ambition. Such is the traditional image of Thomas Wolsey Lord Chancellor Archbishop of York Bishop of Winchester Abbot of St. Albans Bishop if Tournai and Papal Legate. It is an image which Peter Gwyn examines challenges and decisively overturns in this remarkable book.
From exceedingly humble beginnings Wolsey rose to a pinnacle of power unsurpassed by any other British commoner. Peter Gwyn explores every aspect of the Cardinal's career - not least his relationship with Henry VIII - and sets it firmly in a vividly recreated Tudor world. The Wolsey who emerges is a man of prodigious energy and ability a tireless dispenser of justice an enlightened reformer wholly dedicated to his king and country - a man who has been consistently misrepresented and maligned for four-and-a-half centuries.
