A proposito di questo titolo

 Immerse yourself in the riveting life story of Thomas Wolsey, an influential English statesman, Catholic bishop, and Cardinal appointed by Pope Leo X in 1515. His dramatic fall from grace was brought about by his failure to secure an annulment for King Henry VIIIs marriage to Catherine of Aragon, paving the way for Anne Boleyns rise. As Wolseys Gentleman Usher, George Cavendish produced an invaluable account of these highly significant events in English history, establishing himself as one of the first great English biographers. His vivid, unembellished writing style has stood the test of time, even serving as the inspiration for Shakespeares play Henry VIII. This podcast also includes Latin passages recorded by Kazbek, adding an extra layer of authenticity. Discover the complex dynamics of power, religion, and personal ambition in Tudor England through the life and death of Cardinal Wolsey.
