Whilst looking for journal articles online concerning the poetry of Thomas Wyatt, i found this abstract of one such journal on JSTOR:
"From prison Sir Thomas Wyatt wrote a poem to Sir Francis Bryan, warning him to keep the secrets they shared. This article seeks to discover what the secrets were, and from whom they must be kept. The secrets concerned their lives as courtiers and ambassadors at times of great suspicion and insecurity at home and abroad, c. 1536-41. As diplomats, Wyatt and Bryan were charged to mediate between Henry VIII, Francis I and Emperor Charles V, but they also had more sinister undercover missions. They were sent to spy upon, and even to assassinate the papal legate, Cardinal Pole. Poetry reveals much about these men which other sources cannot". I have to ask if anyone knows how true this is, because a spy was the last thing i expected Wyatt to be, i had always thought there was a certain degree of friendship between him and Bryan, something they seem to have algamated into Thomas Seymour with the two of them attempting to assassinate Pole instead. Anybody?

So, while trying to figure out when Shrove Tuesday fell in 1526, I discovered that Francis Bryan lost his eye in a joust that day. It also happened to be the day that Henry made his interest in Anne Boleyn publicly known.
