According to "The Tudors", on BBC2,he snuffed it with a heart attack during a "roasting" session with Ann and Mary Boelyn.

probably just old age or stress - or, looking at his portraits, obesity. I'm sure Henry would have preferred him to stay alive until he could be properly executed.

Hi, In A Pickle, nice to come in contact with a chorister from Hampton Court. I was at the infant school in the palace, and held my connections to the place until I was in my twenties, because my father did a tremendous amount of restoration work in there over the years.
In Osborne House on the Isle of Wight there is a huge painting of Cardinal Wolsey on the steps of Leicester Abbey, and I do have to say that the artist has made him look dreadful. Apparently he died the following day and there was always more than a suggestion that he was 'pushed' rather than 'fell', if you know what I mean.
Poor Wosley - I guess that's what you get if you social climb and then put your faith in someone who most certainly doesn't deserve it. I have no affection for Henry VIII, I feel certain he was a thoroughly nasty individual - and like you, I deplore the BBC series The Tudors. Absolute rubbish!

Thats just silly.

According to "The Tudors" he crashed his Porche 911 into the central reservation on the M6 while high on cocaine.

[Peter Pedant]

Yeah the Tudors has him snorting cocaine

and he comments - I thought I was consecrating !

along with his chums Cardinals Manning and Hume

at least one of them die on the job, and his last words, aren't anything like - I come here to rest my weary bones,
nor if I had served God as well as my Prince, then...
in fact its:
'Oh Heavens !' according to the Tudors' script.

He died in 1530 I believe, of natural causes. He'd been summoned by the King, and it was probably a good job that he died in the way he did, otherwise he would've been beheaded.

[blu3wave]

cardinal who? What was he famous for? If it was just for being a cardinal, then who really cares??

[leg_end758]

i believe he died suddenly.



1 minute he was alive



then










he was dead !!!


thats howwwwwwwwwww he died

[Ice.Maiden]

ROTFL!!!!!! Might've taken a few minutes to get there though!

in the tudor episode he actually committed suicide by slashing his own throat. But history books just say that he died in route to london to stand trial for rape.
