1:12:00
The King is not pleased with you.
1:12:03
I am grieved.
1:12:06
And yet, do you know that even now,
if you could bring yourself...
1:12:09
...to agree with the Church,
universities, the Lords and the Commons...
1:12:13
...there is no honour which His Majesty
would be likely to deny you?
1:12:17
I am well acquainted with
His Grace's generosity.
1:12:23
Very well.
1:12:26
You have heard of the so-called
"Holy Maid of Kent"...
1:12:31
...who was executed for prophesying
against the King?
1:12:33
-Yes, I met her.
-Yes, you met her.
1:12:35
Yet you did not warn His Majesty
of her treason. How was that?
1:12:39
She spoke no treason.
Our talk was not political.
1:12:43
But the woman was notorious.
Do you expect me to believe that?
1:12:46
-Happily, there were witnesses.
-You wrote a letter to her.
1:12:49
Yes. I wrote, advising her to abstain
from meddling in the affairs of state.
1:12:54
I have a copy of the letter. Also witnessed.
1:12:59
-You have been cautious.
-I like to keep my affairs regular.
1:13:11
In the June of 1521,
the King published a book.
1:13:16
A theological work.
1:13:19
It was called,
A Defence of the Seven Sacraments.
1:13:21
For which he was named "Defender
of the Faith" by His Holiness, the Pope.
1:13:26
By the Bishop of Rome,
or do you insist on "pope"?
1:13:30
No. "Bishop of Rome" if you like.
It doesn't alter his authority.
1:13:35
Thank you. You come to the point
very readily. What is that authority?
1:13:40
For example, in the Church of England...
1:13:42
...what exactly is
the Bishop of Rome's authority?
1:13:45
You will find it very ably set out
and defended, Master Secretary...
1:13:50
...in the King's book.
1:13:52
In the book published under
the King's name, would be more accurate.
1:13:55
-You wrote this book.
-I wrote no part of it.
1:13:58
I don't mean you actually held the pen.
