Written by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey's gentleman usher, this is a firsthand biography that details Wolsey's rise and fall. The work provides a detailed, personal account of Wolsey's service to King Henry VIII, his immense power and wealth, and his eventual downfall due to his role in the annulment of the king's marriage. Written in the mid-16th century, it offers vivid descriptions of Wolsey's life and emphasizes themes of the fickleness of fortune and power.
