"This was considered a high honor, and the Duke was most likely the man of the highest Rank in attendance.
This is why he was so offended when the Cardinal dipped his hands- effectively inferring that the Duke was inferior to the Cardinal (who was the son of a butcher).
This was a factual incident. I hope this has helped you to understand...Melanie" What an interesting fact. I remember the scene and thought it might have been Henry's way of insulting Buckingham. I didn't realize it was an honor; you live and learn!
