50 Hall, Chronicle , pp. 758-9. The ‘book’ could have been the final version of Darcy’s charges. Henry intended to leave Greenwich on 2 Aug., and had left by 4 Aug.: LP , iv.5965, 5825. The decision to issue the writs for a parliament was clearly made before the close roll entry date of 9 Aug.: ibid., iv.5837.
51 Ibid., iv.5816. The fact that the grant to Rochford is called a (signed) bill shows that it was very recent.

29 For Norfolk’s desperation to move Charles V and Clement VII: Cal . S. P. Span ., 1529 — 30 , pp. 510 — 11. This may be connected with Wolsey’s doctor being still in Norfolk’s hands on 1 Mar. but at Ghent by 23 Mar. 1531, representing the duke to the imperial government: LP , v. 120, 153, 283. In fairness to Norfolk, he did present to Henry a copy of the 14th-century chronicle of William of Nangis in which the king made a number of marginal notes, many relating to papal authority and the issue of consanguinity [BL, MS Royal 13 E iv]. I owe this reference to the kindness of Prof. J. P. Carley.
30 The source followed here is Cranmer’s secretary, Morrice [Narratives of the Reformation, pp. 240 — 2 ], not the reworking by Foxe, Acts and Monuments, viii.7 — 8, with the king’s supposed remark that Cranmer had ‘the sow by the right ear’.
33 It is not clear why Henry had not followed similar earlier hints: MacCulloch, Cranmer , p. 46.
34 Du Bellay, Correspondance , i.22 at p. 65 [LP, iv.5862].
35 MacCulloch, Cranmer , p. 46, notes that Foxe suggests an earlier meeting in London, but Henry only returned to Greenwich on 24 October at the end of the summer progress: N. Samman, ‘The Henrician Court during Cardinal Wolsey’s Ascendancy’ (University of Wales, Ph.D. thesis, 1988), p. 386. The difficulties about this meeting, raised by Jasper Ridley, Cranmer , pp. 24-8, are overcome by dating it soon after Henry’s return to Greenwich following the summer progress, i.e. the earliest practical moment. Cf. Scarisbrick, Henry VIII , p. 255; MacCulloch, Cranmer , p. 46.
38 For the following see Narratives of the Reformation , pp. 52-7; George Wyatt, in Wolsey , ed. Singer, pp. 438-41; for the book campaign see LP , iv.5416. The latest possible date of the episode is before the court went on progress at the start of August.
