A heretic cardinal, the other Tudor Drake, and a plotting baron




Tudor History with Claire Ridgway show

Summary: In part two of This Week in Tudor History for the week beginning 5th April, historian Claire Ridgway talks about why Pope Paul IV branded Cardinal Pole a heretic and took away his legatine powers, before introducing you to a sea captain named Drake, but not Sir Francis Drake, and telling you about John Lumley, a baron who was involved with the Ridolfi Plot but kept his head, and a man who was recorded as owning a full-length portrait of Anne Boleyn.   You can see this podcast as a video at the following link: https://youtu.be/KYOd2blMjG8   9th April 1557 -  Mary I's Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Reginald Pole, had his legatine powers revoked by Pope Paul IV. 10th April 1586 - Death of sea captain Sir Bernard Drake, probably from gaol fever (typhus) at Crediton in Devon. 11th April 1609 - Death of conspirator, patron and collector, John Lumley, 1st Baron Lumley, at his London home.   Other Tudor events for these dates: April 9 - Catherine Willoughby's second husband - https://youtu.be/xHtICfkzS7g April 9 - From queen to dowager princess - https://youtu.be/c-zdfPaiK0U  April 10 - The Gregorian Calendar versus the Julian Calendar - https://youtu.be/VRz98plSjqk April 10 - The Birth of King James V of Scotland - https://youtu.be/CiXTTLBhjus April 11 - Victory for Anne Boleyn, finally! - https://youtu.be/3m9MnNczwzY April 11 - The end of rebel Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger - https://youtu.be/HCKNH7_NFsU    -- Claire RidgwayHistorian and author, founder of the Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Societywww.theanneboleynfiles.comwww.tudorsociety.comhttps://twitter.com/AnneBoleynFileshttp://www.facebook.com/theanneboleynfiles https://www.instagram.com/anneboleynfiles/https://twitter.com/thetudorsocietyhttps://www.facebook.com/tudorsociety/ https://www.instagram.com/tudor.society/
