Thomas Wolsey was a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. King Henry often consulted and debated with Thomas Wolsey and the Bishop of Winchester. Wolsey urged Henry to announce war on France on the behalf of Pope Julius II. From 1515 to 1529, Wolsey became the chief minister of the king. But he soon fell from high regard in the eyes of King Henry. He paled in comparison to Thomas Cromwell, the previous minister. Anne Boleyn disliked Thomas Wolsey. Later he was indicted on forty four charges and was stripped of all of his offices and powers. Henry had kept him from from prison until November 4th. On November 24th, Wolsey died after all he had done to aid the kingdom. (http://englishhistory.net/tudor/priwols1.html), (http://englishhistory.net/tudor/letter8.html).
