(40 MARK) Whereas sources 4 and 6 suggest that Henry had given all power to Wolsey‚ source 5 contradicts this argument‚ describing how the king had overall power. Source 4‚ an extract from Scarisbrick ‘Henry VIII‚’ gives the impression that Henry gave all power to Wolsey‚ whilst he “hunted and jousted.” Cavendish then states how the king had “surrendered the cares of the state into the Cardinal’s hands.” This gives the impression that Wolsey had the powers of the king and was in charge of

Do you agree with the view that‚ in the years 1511-25‚ English successes in foreign policy outweighed failures? In the years 1511-25‚ England managed to successfully pursue a policy of peacemaking due to Wolsey’s excellent diplomatic skills and managed to negotiate peace at London in 1518 between twenty countries and become a leading power in European affairs; this reflected extremely well on England’s image with the rest of Europe and could be viewed as the basis for the argument that the policy

Both sources 5 and 6 tend to disagree with the idea of the king wholly surrendering his power to the Cardinal and instead state that the king still had some control in government matters.

Scarisbrick 1968) supports the idea that possibly Henry VIII actually did surrender power over to Wolsey. The evidence within the source that suggests this possibly for being the truth is ‘a self-indulgent King had wholly surrendered the cares of the state into the Cardinals hands’. To further support this case‚ it is clear that

Do you agree with the view that Wolsey’s fall from power was mainly the result of Anne Boleyn’s hostility towards him?
