Thomas Wolsey
-
Role as Chief Minister
Use of Star Chamber
Improved the effectiveness of the punishment of Nobles and helped to improve security in England and reduce rebellion in England
-
Religious Policies
Divorce of Catherine
Diplomatic Manouvres
Decide not to attack Charles V, and instead tried to free the pope using an alliance with France and the renewal of warfare in Italy.
Legal Efforts
Decided to hold the court hearing in England - failed as the Pope didn't want to offend Charles V, so sent Campeggio who delayed the hearing. Catherine refused to have the hearing in England
Scriptual Arguments
No male heir to the throne. To marry a brothers wife was a sin. Wolsey's arguments were decent, but not executed correctly
Trying to please the Pope, with desires to become Archbishop of Canterbury.
This backfires, as Henry accuses him of not fulfilling the King's wishes
Foreign Policies
Treaty of London 1518 - 20 powers signed, which ended English isolation
It did bring Henry prestige and foreign peace, to work against the Ottoman influence. Didn't last for very long, and soon became irrelevant.
