About the book

George Cavendish's Life and Death of Cardinal Wolsey is a major contemporary biography of Thomas Wolsey, the powerful minister of Henry VIII. Cavendish, who served in Wolsey's household, recounts his master's spectacular rise, immense wealth and influence, the failure to secure the king's annulment from Katherine of Aragon, and his subsequent fall from royal favour. The work is an essential eyewitness source for Tudor politics and court life.
