Drawing heavily from the State Papers of the King, Henry VIII and
the Merchants traces Stephen Vaughan's careers as a servant of
Thomas Cromwell and of Henry VIII in the 16th century. Stephen
Vaughan, a Londoner with an international outlook, was a member of
the Company of Merchant Taylors, as well as a Merchant Adventurer
in the Low Countries. As a young man Vaughan was drawn into the
employ of Thomas Cromwell and worked in his private office. Thus,
Vaughan became heavily involved in the world of government and
court politics at a time when the style, tempo and effectiveness of
official life in London was changing rapidly and the world was
quickly opening up as his travels to Europe drew him into the
enticing world of business and finance. For the first time, this
notable study uncovers the secrets of Vaughan's life from his
relatively humble beginning to his high power career as an
ambassador, spy, and financial agent of the crown on the Bourse at
Antwerp. What is more, on a wider canvas this intimate tale shows
how individuals were affected by and reacted to the drastic changes
in religion, politics and everyday life under the tumultuous reign
of Henry VIII.
