About Me

I am a cardinal. Obviously. I was also the English Lord Chancellor. I am, as I am sure you have already gathered, fabulous. I used to advise King Henry VIII on pretty much everything until I messed up on his divorce, but I don't blame myself; I never do. I was born in Ipswich and died in Leicester; of natural causes I hasten to add. I built Hampton Court and I have a pet cat.
