“...in the meantime, I order you – and in the king’s name command you – not to see her again if you intend to avoid the full wrath of his majesty”
Percy tells Wolsey “in this matter I have gone so far that i am no longer able to renounce my commitment in full conscience.” Wolsey says to Percy “do you think that the king and I do not know what to do in such a serious matter as this? One thing’s for sure, I can see no point in you making any further pleas in this case”.
“Very well...if it please you, I will submit myself completely to the kings will in this matter and will release my conscience from the heavy burden of the engagement”
“Abrasive self assertiveness, caustic tongue, fiery disposition and insulting behaviour”.
“ no intention...of making you my heir. I have...a wide choice of sons who will...prove themselves worthier than you and abler to conduct themselves as true nobles should”
