William Paulet, first Marquis of Winchester, was one of the most
remarkable and influential men of sixteenth-century England. Born
in Wiltshire in 1475, he lived to the advanced age of 97, during
which time he held the posts of Lord Treasurer, Master of the
King's Wards, Controller of the Household, Lord Chamberlain,
Speaker of the House of Lords, and President of the Council. In
recognition of his services, Edward VI promoted him to the
Marquisate of Winchester in 1551, cementing his position amongst
the nation's elite. Providing for the first time a full length
account of Paulet's life and his extended role at the heart of
Tudor government, this book will be welcomed by scholars of
sixteenth-century England as an invaluable aid to better
understanding the period. Taking a broadly chronological approach,
the book presents the main features of his life against the
turbulent background of mid-sixteenth-century history. As well as
demonstrating how he managed to hold office under three monarchs -
Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I - with radically different
religious policies, this book considers Paulet's considerable
impact on the economic, political and ecclesiastical landscape of
Tudor England.
