Trivia
OBSERVATIONS If Henry did masturbate it is unlikely that it was done in such a public fashion (e.g in front of the pages and with Anne and her ladies sitting next door and listening) - the commonly held belief at that time was that masturbation meant you would burn in hell. During the scene where Charles Brandon introduces Catherine Brooke to Anthony Knyvert, you can hear an extra in the background shouting “put your back into it lad!” The Duke of Norfolk is seen at the King’s table sitting next to an unknown woman (this is probably meant to be the Duchess of Norfolk) Although Wolsey was hauled away in his nightclothes someone was good enough to bring him his Cardinal’s cap. During the masque depicting the Cardinal going to hell, when the actor playing Wolsey appears someone in the crowd yells out “hypocrite!” The angel with the scythe in the mass is either meant to be St. Michael the Archangel or (less likely) Abaddon (Apollyon in some traditions) who is a destroyer. When the mouth of hell is revealed a man is seen over Cromwell’s shoulder giving the thumbs down (Cromwell himself is bundled behind one of the damned) What happens to Thomas Cromwell during the masque is ironic considering his later fate - he is caught up in the demons when they pull forth the red from the Cardinal’s gown, he is also hustled along with the damned to the mouth of hell. |
