    About this ebook

    A fascinating figure for historians, Thomas Wolsey (1471?-1530), the English cardinal and statesman, had a mind that, in the author’s estimation, “was the mastermind of the age” and who “for a time held the destinies of Europe in his hand.” This engrossing biography illuminates Wolsey’s life, philosophy, accomplishments, and devotion to King Henry VIII.
