¹⁴⁶On the other hand William Roper suggested Wolsey plotted to send More to Spain in order to get him out of the way; see Roper, pp 19-20. There is no reason to suppose that Roper was right; see p.374.

(‘Although the minister [Wolsey] could not refuse the advice of the Howards and Brandons, Marneys and Lovells, who attended both the council and the royal court, he could render consultation to the barest minimum, and the council was abrupt even with leading councillors. Discussion of affairs of state was almost entirely confined to domestic issues.’) Recently Guy has performed something of a volte-face. See also A.F. Pollard, pp.99 ff.
