Reginald Pole synopsis

This was the first complete biography of ninety years of Reginald Paul (1500-1558), one of the most important international figures of the sixteenth century, and the first ever to give similar attention to all stages of his career. It was based on extensive and arduous archives research, above all in Italy, and archives of the Inquisition.

The pole spent much of his writing life, especially about himself. This book attempts to expose the tension between "life as it lived" and "life as it is written" in order to see the whole pole rather than as a plaster saint or a demon.

Followed by the career of the pole as a lawyer and then the harshest critics of Henry VIII, as a basic diplomat and father, the representative of Viterbo, and a nearly successful candidate for the Pope, and finally as an Englishman, Archbishop of Canterbury, the architect of the English counter-reform, and the victim of Pope Paul IV and himself.
