Summary edit

Description
English: Extract from a letter from Richard Croke to Thomas Cromwell, 23 September 1532 (SP1/71 f.48r-48v) Henry VIII’s ‘A Glasse of the Truthe’ was a key publication in the early propaganda campaign which outlined his position early in 1532. Partly written by Henry VIII, it drew on a number of earlier key texts, including the ‘Collectanea satis copiosa’. It argued that the royal marriage was invalid because no one could marry their brother’s widow and the Pope could not exempt a marriage from this law. English bishops, namely archbishops, could settle the matter within the realm. This was not a ‘popular’ text as it over 80 pages long and beyond the means of ordinary people.
