    - - By the time of Northumberland taking power (1550) he had clear, strong views on religious matters and asserted them. His Chronicle, and letters to Barnaby Fitzpatrick, suggests his clear ideas on how the church should be organised, and his clear views on acceptable personal conduct. Less than 5% of his Chronicle was devoted to religion, writing comparatively little on doctrinal matters
