Reginald Pole
Reginald PoleA relative of the Tudors, he'd been educated at Henry’s expense. He opposed the king over the 'great matter ', but Henry let him go to Italy ( then considered the center of learning) to continue his studies.
From there, Pole launched a anti Henry book and campaign and worked with the pope to make Henry’s life as difficult as possible.
Henry could not reach Pole , but he made sure Cromwell's spies watched and ultimately arrested various members of his family left behind.
Some of these were executed including Pole's aged mother, the countess of Salisbury.
