Just as with any battle, casualties followed. Where Becket and Henry II fought the first battle in this clash of legal systems, More and Henry VIII would end it. The deaths of Thomas Becket in the twelfth century and Thomas More in the sixteenth century bear a striking resemblance, but while this superficially indicates a consistency of outcome, it also probes further into a consistency of conditions which made such an outcome likely.

The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 [2] The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his/her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement © 2016 The University of Leeds & Daniel Frederick Gosling [3] Acknowledgements I owe an enormous debt of thanks to a great many people who have helped and guided me these past few years. First and foremost, my deepest thanks go to my original supervisor, Paul Cavill, whose expert advice and guidance have been invaluable throughout this research process. Thanks too to Stephen Alford, for taking over supervision duties from Paul on a topic that is niche to say the least. To my secondary school history teacher, Andrew Dunne, I offer thanks for first introducing me to praemunire in sixth-form, and – more importantly – managing to do it in such a way that I recalled it years later, a far greater achievement. Many other academics have given me invaluable help and advice over the past few years. Hannes Kleineke warrants particular mention first for his sound advice and knowledge of legal history, and second for his incredibly well-placed London office, where a cup of coffee and a willing ear was always available if I had a particularly tricky query.

  • The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth
    THE FAMOUS HISTORY OF THE LIFE OF KING HENRY THE EIGHTH WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM ALDIS WRIGHT PREFACE. -M- The famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eight ' was first printed in * Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies,' a folio volume which was brought out in 1623 by the players Heminge and Condell, and is known as the first Folio. This is the only external evidence which connects the play with the name of Shake- speare. In a letter to his nephew, Sir Edmund Bacon, on . July 2nd, 1613, Sir Henry Wotton writes : 'Now, to let matters of State sleep, I will entertain you at the present with what hath happened this Week at the Banks side. The Kings Players had a new Play, called All is True, representing some principal pieces of the reign of Henry the 8M. which was set forth with many extraordinary Circumstances of Pomp and Majesty, even to the matting of the Stage ; the Knights of the Order, with their Georges and Garter, the Guards with their embroidered Coats, and the like: sufficient in truth within a while to make Greatness very familiar, if not ridiculous. Now, King Henry making a Masque at the cardinal Wolsefs House, and certain Cannons being shot off at his entry, some of the Paper, or other stuff, wherewith one of them was stopped, did light on the Thatch, where being thought at first but an idle smoak, and their Eyes more attentive to the show, it kindled inwardly, and ran round like a train, consuming within less than an hour the whole House to the very ground.

KNOX POOLER I METHUEN AND CO. 36 ESSEX STREET: STRAND LONDON First Published in igis CONTENTS PAGE Introduction ......... vii The Famous History of the Life of King Henry VHI. i Appendix 169 ' — — INTRODUCTION In 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death, " The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eight " with the running title " The Life of King Henry the Eight " appeared as the last of the Histories in Hemingeand Condell's edition (the First Folio) of Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies. So far as we know, it had not previously been published or in any way associated with Shakespeare's name. It has, however, been traced by Tyrwhitt to Shake- speare's theatre and fellow-actors, if it is, as he suggested, the play during the representation of which the Globe Theatre was burnt to the ground on the 29th of June, 161 3. The evidence is as follows : A letter fro7n Thomas Lorkin to Sir Thomas Puckering (Harl. MS. 7002, fo. 268) :— " London this last of June 161 3. " No longer since then yesterday, while Bourbege his companie were acting at ye Globe the play of Hen. 8, and there shooting of certayne chambers in way of triumph ; the fire catch'd & fastened upon the thatch of y^ house and there burned so furiously as it consumed the whole house & all in lesse than two houres (the people having enough to doe ' to save , themselves).

    CCHA, Report, 20 (1953), 13-28 The Propaganda Campaign against the Holy See by the Henrician Bishops by Brother BONAVENTURE [MINER], F.S.C., M.A. The sixth session of the English Reformation Parliament got under way on November 3, 1534. The Act of Supremacy was passed to give parliamentary authority to the title of “supreme head” by which Convocation had consented to recognize the King four years previously. This act vested all spiritual power and jurisdiction in the monarch and deprived the Church of its divinely constituted teaching authority. Following are the pertinent passages: The King our sovereign lord, his heirs, and successors, kings of this realm, shall be taken, accepted, and reputed the only supreme head in earth of the church of England, called Anglicana Ecclesia; and... our said sovereign lord, his heirs and successors, kings of this realm, shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, reform, order, correct, restrain, and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offences, contempts and enormities, whatsoever they be, ...1 With the King acknowledged to be the Supreme Head by both Convocation and Parliament, it remained but to enforce the active recognition of this claim throughout the country. The co-operation extended by the English episcopate in this direction forms the subject of this paper. Attention will be drawn to the bishops’ activities up to, but not beyond, 1539, for by that year the royal “supremacy” had been generally established throughout the kingdom. On April 19, 1534, Rowland Lee was consecrated bishop of Lichfield and Coventry by Archbishop Cranmer of Canterbury without any authorization from the Holy See.
