When the mouth of hell is revealed a man is seen over Cromwell’s shoulder giving the thumbs down (Cromwell himself is bundled behind one of the damned) Michael the Archangel or (less likely) Abaddon (Apollyon in some traditions) who is a destroyer. The angel with the scythe in the mass is either meant to be St. The Duke of Norfolk is seen at the King’s table sitting next to an unknown woman (this is probably meant to be the Duchess of Norfolk)Īlthough Wolsey was hauled away in his nightclothes someone was good enough to bring him his Cardinal’s cap.ĭuring the masque depicting the Cardinal going to hell, when the actor playing Wolsey appears someone in the crowd yells out “hypocrite!” If Henry did masturbate it is unlikely that it was done in such a public fashion (e.g in front of the pages and with Anne and her ladies sitting next door and listening) - the commonly held belief at that time was that masturbation meant you would burn in hell.ĭuring the scene where Charles Brandon introduces Catherine Brooke to Anthony Knyvert, you can hear an extra in the background shouting “put your back into it lad!” The Duke of Norfolk later had it published!
The Cardinal was in reality arrested by Henry Percy who had been Anne's betrothed (and whom the Cardinal had refused permission to marry Anne to) not by a group of soldiers storming his house, dragging him out of bed and manhandling his mistress.Thomas Wyatt ( to Tallis about Anne )-"For what it's worth, I did f***k her".Charles Brandon - "When Satan was thrown from heaven was he ever invited back?".Thomas More ( to Chapuys)- "He may threaten to break with Rome but I don't think he will ever do so".
Henry VIII- "London would have to melt into the Thames first".Anne Boleyn- "I would only be unhappy is you stopped loving me".Anne Boleyn- "I care nothing for Katherine, I would rather see her hanged than acknowledge her as my mistress".Charles Brandon- "If all ambassadors were women I would be serving my country day and night".When Cardinal Wolsey kills himself the music is PERFECT!.Henry said that he wished Wolsey had lived - what did he have planned for him if he wasn't going to execute him for high treason?.What happened to Wolsey's pension? In the previous episode, Henry told More that he was giving Wolsey a pension of 3,000 angels (1,000 sovereigns - more than four times what Mendoza offered Thomas Boleyn on the Emperor's behalf in 1.05) but in this episode, Wolsey has no money and can't even afford to hire servants.Is this how they did it back then and who makes sounds like that ? ( note to posting: you really must have led a very sheltered life LOL) I wasn't sure if he was passing a kidney stone or throwing around some baby batter. In the beginning of this episode was the King, for a lack of a better phrase, spanking the prince with a guy standing there holding a rag for him.
