built 257 days ago
Henry ... turned on families for no obvious reason other than his own supposed fears. The Percy family was as loyal to the crown as could be expected but was very powerful as Earls of Northumberland in the northeast of England. This apparent independence was enough to get Henry suspicious. However, no evidence could be found by Wolsey to implicate Percy in any form of treachery and no case could be found for a show trial to be called. Henry then used nothing more than simple intimidation to break Percy. The Earl of Northumberland had no children and in his will he stated that the heir to his land should be Henry VIII.

Henry always felt threatened by the ‘White Rose Party’. In truth, whatever status it had disappeared in 1525 with the death of Richard de la Pole. This was not enough to satisfy Henry and he went after those noble families that had just a remote link to the Yorkists. The led to him targeting the Pole family, which was distantly linked to the Yorkists. To ensure that the three brothers in the Pole could not be accused of anything, they even agreed not to meet in case they were accused of conspiring against the king. For years no case could be made against them.
