"EPISODE 10"
Season: 1 Original Air Date: 6/10/2007 Writer: Michael Hirst Director: Ciarán Donnelly Name of Episode: The Death of Wolsey Special Guests:

Synopsis

Cardinal Wolsey, although exiled, tries to gather last minute support from his old enemy, Queen Katherine. She hesitantly agrees to his plan, as she finds herself in a situation similar to that of the fallen cardinal. When their plot is intercepted by the King's new advisers, Wolsey is forced to pay the ultimate price.

Unanswered Questions

In the beginning of this episode was the King, for a lack of a better phrase, spanking the prince with a guy standing there holding a rag for him. I wasn't sure if he was passing a kidney stone or throwing around some baby batter. Is this how they did it back then and who makes sounds like that ? ( note to posting: you really must have led a very sheltered life LOL)
What happened to Wolsey's pension? In the previous episode, Henry told More that he was giving Wolsey a pension of 3,000 angels (1,000 sovereigns - more than four times what Mendoza offered Thomas Boleyn on the Emperor's behalf in 1.05) but in this episode, Wolsey has no money and can't even afford to hire servants.
Henry said that he wished Wolsey had lived - what did he have planned for him if he wasn't going to execute him for high treason?

Best Moments

When Cardinal Wolsey kills himself; the music is PERFECT!

When Anne and Henry are having sex in the woods. I was SOOO disappointed... "No, you mustn't!" That was actually quite funny but then you can tell Henry is sooo frustrated with this.

I don't think this is historically accurate. I think Thomas More was guilty of rejoicing in print over a certain person who was burned, but I don't think he was instrumental in actually having anybody burned or attending a burning.

Do you find this valuable?
