Wolsey’s Domestic Policies 1. Firstly‚ Henry and Wolsey depended on the nobles to be War leaders between 1511 and 1514 which is when England went to War against France‚ and also in 1522 when War broke out with France again. Also‚ effective control of the country’s outlying regions depended on their cooperation. In the North Midlands and the North West‚ for example‚ the government was heavily dependent on the power of the earls of Derby and Shrewsbury‚ while in the west‚ the power of the earl of

foreign policy. The main success in foreign policy was Wolsey successfully delivering a policy of peace between 1511-25; this is shown in Source 4 where M.D. Palmer refers to the peace at London in 1518‚ where peace was agreed between twenty countries in Europe‚ as Wolsey’s ‘greatest triumph’‚ which it indeed was‚ at least for Wolsey if not just for England at the time. It’s outcome for Wolsey was appointment as papal legate which granted Wolsey the power to act on the Pope’s behalf which was a great

Henry VII enjoyed a very close relationship with the church through Cardinal John Morton‚ who was not only Archbishop of Canterbury but enjoyed secular power too as Lord Chancellor. Bishop Richard Foxe was also important to Henry Tudor and these senior figures of the clergy helped Henry develop his tax policies‚ while at

policy outweighed the failures? I agree with the view that English successes in foreign policy outweighed the failures in the years 1511-27 to a certain extent. England managed to successfully pursue a policy of peace making in the years 1514-21 and wolsey was flexible in his diplomacy. However‚ it could also be argued that Henry’s chief aim‚ the invasion of France‚ was unpopular with people at the time and that Henry’s foreign policy was too costly given how little of long term value it brought to

far would you agree with the view that Henry VIII’s and Wolsey’s foreign policy was an expensive failure? Source 3 supports the idea that Henry VIII’s foreign policy was actually quite successful; ‘Henry and Wolsey had good reason to think that they had been very successful’. Wolsey had gained immense status after the Treaty of London‚ when he became legatus a latere. Henry had successfully pulled off the field of cloth of gold (source 1)‚ and was seen as peace keeper amongst the great powers

Henry VIII is one of the most famous monarch in English history. He is‚ of course‚ well-known mostly because he created the Anglican Church – which he invented mainly in order to be able to divorce his first wife. This reason behind the Church’s creation‚ however‚ can serve as a proper hint as to what kind of husband and person this king was‚ leading to a debate: is king Henry VIII a good or a bad historical figure? While I believe it is possible he may have been a decent‚ even good king‚ my opinion

Explain why there was criticism of the clergy around 1529: There was criticism of the personnel of the church both high and low‚ from village priests to roman cardinals; criticism of lifestyles; criticism of the clergy seen as not fully committed to or measure up to Christian ideals. All of these strands of criticism were of long standing in England and elsewhere in Europe. Anti-clericalism and antipapalism had little real threat to the English church in the 1520’s. Erastainism usually operated

I agree with this view that Henry VIII was responsible for the English foreign policy failures in the years 1509-1529‚ and this is because he was too keen to establish his presence in international affairs and believed that he had to demonstrate his strengths to his subjects. This way of thought was due to his peaceful rise to the throne and because of his confident personality; Henry wanted to win victories on the battlefield and wanted to establish his image of a Renaissance warrior.

And when Bosola tells her she must keep living‚ she makes it clear that hell is truly on Earth—“That’s the greatest torture souls feel in hell‚/In hell: that they must live‚ and cannot die” (4.1.70-1)‚ The Cardinal and Ferdinand are particularly responsible for bringing this fire to her world.
