392 McMullan, p. 28-32

393 Fletcher, p. 179. The Duke’s Company’s patronage by the future James II came during a period of outward Anglican conformity, but James’s subsequent Catholic conversion unsettles any definitive claims we might make about James’s role in politicizing Wolsey’s role.

394 Fletcher, p. 181.

395 Fletcher, p. 181.

396 Fletcher, p. 181.

397 Fletcher, p. 182. The effect of a female Wolsey is worth briefly commenting on: a female Wolsey juxtaposed with an aggressively masculine Buckingham would draw out the tension between these two characters. This casting would also highlight the intimate partnership between Wolsey and Henry.

398 Fletcher, p. 185.

403 The second Duke of Norfolk died in 1524, and in the play is conflated with his son Thomas, who became the third duke on his father’s death.

412 See Chapter I.

413 The chronology of the play does not match the historical record, as is indicated by the difficulty in identifying who exactly the Lord Chamberlain is meant to be: Charles Somerset, first Earl of Worcester (c.1460-1526), was Lord Chamberlain until his death, but Lord Sandys took up the position after 1526. Yet both these men appear onstage together throughout the play, even well after the events of 1526 have passed. The playwrights telescoped the time between events for dramatic effect, resulting in occasional historical inaccuracies or moments of confusion. The same problem arises again with the inclusion of both the Duke of Suffolk and a separate ‘Brandon’ character later in the play.

424 For more information on legatine regalia, see Caeremoniale Episcoporum (1984), especially sections pertaining to archiepiscopal crosses (p. 62 and 79). Wolsey’s choice of processionary pillars and crosses may not be proscribed specifically by contemporary sources, but there appears to have been no contemporary consensus (or attempt at consensus) to limit his choice of regalia. The use of these crosses appears to go back to the tenth Ordo Romanus in the eleventh century.

458 As Gwyn details, the assumption that Wolsey was named almoner in November 1509 is erroneous: the L&P (1.1, it. 253) mentions a grant to Wolsey as almoner on this date, but that does not indicate anything about the date of his appointment other than the logical inference that it must have preceded this grant. See Gwyn, p. 4 and Fletcher, p. 18.

468 A particular example of this was the case of Richard Hunne, a London tailor who was found hanged after bringing suits against Richard Fitzjames, the bishop of London. The case immediately became a focal point for concerns about an overly independent clergy, and Wolsey carefully washed his hands of the matter by deferring the entire debate to Rome. For more, see Fletcher, pp. 39-40.

479 Also known as Laurence/Lorenzo Campeggio (or Campeggi). His Latinized name is used throughout this thesis for clarity, as this was how he was referred to by most contemporary writers.

480A Papal envoy of the highest rank, who is empowered to act with the authority of the Pope himself. These legates were normally appointed temporarily to complete a specific task. Not to be confused with a legate a natus, an ecclesiastic officer given authority over a particular area (ecclesiastic or geographic) by virtue of his office (for example, Wolsey as archbishop of York).
