Mary repeated some ‘passionate words’ spoken by Surrey, ‘and also some circumstantial speeches, little [to] his advantage, yet they seemed to clear her father’.19

Mrs Holland’s testimony painted an unattractive portrait of her ageing lover as a self-righteous, conceited prig. If it was pillow talk, it hardly showed him in a good light. She repeated Norfolk’s belief that ‘none of the council loved him because they were no noblemen born themselves, [and] also because he believed too truly in the Sacrament of the Altar [the Eucharist]’.

The king loved him not, because he was too much loved in his country . . . [Norfolk] would follow his father’s lesson which was that the less [that] others set by him, the more he would set by himself.

The duke complained he was [no longer] part of the most secret (or as it is there termed, the privy Privy) Council.
