against Henry VIII, issued on 23 March 1534. It was ignored in England.
26. Henry VIII in council. This appears to be a formal session, with the king seated under his ‘cloth of estate’. In practice, the council normally met without the king, and attendance was usually about a dozen.
27. Title page from the Great Bible, printed by Richard Grafton and Edward Whitchurch, 1539. Enthroned as God’s vicar, Henry symbolically hands out the Word of God to the spiritual and temporal hierarchies of his realm, headed by Thomas Cranmer on his right and Thomas Cromwell on his left.
