About This Item
Cambridge: Harvard University Press 1961. (Hardcover) 364pp. Very good plus in very good plus dust jacket. Notes, illustrations, photographs, maps, tables, appendices, references, index. "Sir William Petre (1505-1572) was a remarkable man. No other Tudor Secretary served so many sovereigns. He was the only member of Henry VIII's Council (except Winchester) who was reappointed by his three children in turn, and his unbroken membership of the Council was unique. He alone escaped execution, imprisonment, exile, dismissal or disgrace. The public records reveal him as an almost ubiquitous figure and the chronicle of his life runs as a continuous thread through mid-Tudor political history. He is the chief link between Thomas Cromwell and William Cecil, the greatest Tudor Secretaries". Book about William Cecil, Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII--King of England & William Petre. (History--England, Politics--England, Tudor England).
