Faith and fortune
View through CrossRef
The rise of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell and the break with Rome in the 1530s posed new threats to those of the new men still alive. Some were close to Katherine of Aragon, to Princess Mary, or to the clerical leaders of resistance to the reformation. All were growing old and were unsettled by a religious climate very different to that they knew from the old king’s court, with its attachment to provision for the poor, prayers for the dead and the ministry of the friars. Most faded away, but Hussey was destroyed by his ambivalent reaction to the Lincolnshire rising of 1536. It was left to their descendants to see what could be built on the foundations they had laid.
