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.

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’.

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.
