Stephen Gardner (c.1483–1555) was secretary to Cardinal Wolsey during the reign of King Henry VIII and later Lord Chancellor under Queen Mary I. In this first role, he was responsible for advancing the cause of Henry's divorce with Pope Clement VII, and remained a Roman Catholic throughout the reformations led by Henry and his son, Edward VI. His surviving letters, including those to Henry from Rome and to friends on the outside during his period of imprisonment in the Tower of London, are collected in this volume, which was first published in 1933 and edited by James Arthur Muller. This book will be of value to any Tudor historian either amateur or professional.
