Thomas Wolsey Legate And Reformer is a biographical account of the life and career of Thomas Wolsey, a prominent figure in Tudor England. Written by Ethelred L. Taunton, the book traces Wolsey's rise from humble origins to become one of the most powerful men in the country, serving as Archbishop of York, Lord Chancellor, and chief advisor to King Henry VIII. The book explores Wolsey's efforts to reform the Church and the government, as well as his role in negotiating peace treaties and managing diplomatic relations with foreign powers. It also delves into his downfall, including his failed attempts to secure an annulment for Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon and his subsequent arrest and death while awaiting trial for treason. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including letters and official documents, Thomas Wolsey Legate And Reformer provides a detailed and engaging portrait of one of the most fascinating figures in Tudor history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
