  • Henry VIII: ‘Catholicism without the Pope?’

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEHistory2016

    That Henry VIII's religious policy after the break with Rome was ‘catholicism without the pope’ is a common characterization. Yet while it is fair to insist that he consistently rejected the teachings of Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli and never considered introducing a protestant reformation, Henry's attitudes to purgatory, to pilgrimage, to the intercession of saints, and to the monasteries were nonetheless a significant departure from strai…

  • Anne Boleyn: Fatal Attractions

    G W Bernard, Ágnes Juhász‐Ormsby et al.ARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2013

    s thought-provoking biography of Anne Boleyn invites both the general and the professional reader to enter the intimate family circle of Henry VIII and Anne by focusing narrowly on the queen's personal life.In a series of pointed questions, Bernard judiciously reviews the available records, the often unreliable accounts and gossip in contemporary diplomatic correspondence, and the imperial ambassador Eustace Chapuys's biased despatches.Even if he…

  • Records of the Churchwardens of Mildenhall: Collections (1446–1454) and Accounts (1503–1553), ed. Judith Middleton-Stewart

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2013

    A posthumously-published labour of love by a meticulous scholar (whose first book was Inward Piety and Outward Splendour: Death and Remembrance in the Suffolk Deanery of Dunwich), this edition of ‘collections’—records of extra funding for specific projects—and of fifty years’ worth of churchwardens’ accounts for the parish of Mildenhall, Suffolk, is a fine production that should be taken as a model by anyone attempting similar tasks elsewhere. Th…

  • The Dissolution of the Monasteries

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEHistory2011Cited by: 4

    It is generally held that the monasteries were dissolved by Henry VIII and his leading minister Thomas Cromwell for financial reasons. This article suggests that more important factors were Henry VIII's determination to assert his royal authority and more clearly religious reasons, especially an erasmian scepticism about the value of institutions that set their face against the world and in which superstition flourished. At first Henry sought ref…

  • Elton's Cromwell

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEHistory1998Cited by: 1

    Sir Geoffrey Elton's presentation of Thomas Cromwell as the architect of ‘the Tudor revolution in government’ rested upon assumptions about Cromwell's relationship with Henry VIII that are here scrutinized and questioned. Cromwell's remembrances, in particular, are drawn upon to argue that, far from holding the government of the country in his hands alone, Cromwell was rather the king's hard‐working servant

  • The Making of Religious Policy, 1533–1546: Henry Viii and the Search for the Middle Way

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEThe Historical Journal1998Cited by: 5

    Too often religious policy in Henry VIII's reign after the break with Rome has been seen as fluctuating and inconsistent as he was influenced first by one group of ministers and courtiers and then by another. Here it is argued by contrast that Henry VIII was very much the dominant force in the making of religious policy and that his policy, which he pursued skilfully and consistently, is best characterized as a search for the middle way

  • The Fall of Wolsey Reconsidered

    Open AccessG W BernardARTICLEJournal of British Studies1996References: 3

    In the autumn of 1529, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who had served as Henry VIII's principal minister for a decade and a half, fell from power. On October 17 he surrendered the great seal, thus formally resigning as lord chancellor, the position he had held since 1515. A few days earlier, on October 9, he had been indicted in the Court of King's Bench for offenses under the fourteenth-century statute of praemunire (which restricted papal powers within…
