Tudor Placemen and Statesmen: Select Case Histories

By Narasingha P. Sil

This study uses the lives of four Tudor officials who were personal servants of the monarch_Sir Thomas Heneage, Sir Anthony Denny, Sir John Gates, and Sir William Herbert_to demonstrate the inertia of personal monarchy in spite of Thomas CromwellOs reform and reorganization of government. It also investigates the link between a courtier and a councilor, between a kingOs or queenOs man and a statesman.
