The Life and Death of Cardinal Wolsey is a historical biography written by George Cavendish in 1905. The book tells the story of Thomas Wolsey, a prominent English statesman and cardinal who rose to power during the reign of King Henry VIII. Wolsey served as Lord Chancellor and Archbishop of York, and was one of the most influential figures in English politics during the early 16th century.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Wolsey's rise to power and his political achievements, including his role in negotiating the Treaty of London and his efforts to secure an annulment for King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The second part of the book details Wolsey's downfall, including his fall from favor with the king and his subsequent arrest and death.Cavendish, who was a close friend and advisor to Wolsey, provides a personal and intimate portrait of the cardinal, drawing on his own experiences and observations. The book is considered an important historical document, as it provides valuable insights into the politics and personalities of the Tudor era. It is also a poignant reflection on the nature of power and the dangers of ambition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
