About this book
Royal spectacle and private resentment meet in a London palace antechamber, where Norfolk describes an extravagant meeting between the English and French kings. Buckingham hears the account with growing anger at Cardinal Wolsey, whose influence reaches from court appointments to foreign agreements. As Norfolk urges caution, Buckingham insists that the cardinal has used diplomacy for his own advantage. An arrest interrupts his plans to speak to the king.
Written as a play in verse, the work turns political argument into exchanges full of flattery, warnings and vivid comparisons. The talk turns to the king's divorce, Anne Bullen and letters that expose Wolsey's dealings with Rome. Courtiers watch for signs that his standing is weakening, while Wolsey pursues his own wishes for the royal marriage.
