Through a thematic and broadly chronological approach, Wolsey
offers a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of a man who
was responsible for building Henry VIII's reputation as England's
most impressive king. The book reviews Thomas Wolsey's record as
the realm's leading Churchman, Lord Chancellor and political patron
and thereby demonstrates how and why Wolsey became central to
Henry's government for 20 years. By analysing Wolsey's role in key
events such as the Field of Cloth of Gold, the study highlights how
significant Wolsey was in directing and conducting England's
foreign relations as the king's most trusted advisor. Based on
up-to-date research, Richardson not only newly appraises the
circumstances of Wolsey's fall but also challenges accusations of
treason made against him. This study provides a new appreciation of
Wolsey's importance as a cultural and artistic patron, as well as a
royal administrator and politician; roles which helped to bring
both Henry VIII and England to the forefront of foreign relations
in the early-sixteenth century. Presenting Wolsey in his
contemporary and historiographical contexts more fully than any
currently available study, Wolsey is perfect for students of Tudor
England.
