# Wolsey is stripped of the chancellorship in October 1529 as a completed ministerial destruction

Date: 1529

## The fact

Britannica and BHO calendars print October 1529 as Wolsey’s loss of the great seal after the Blackfriars failure. Later praemunire process and 1530 death are the same destruction family and are not split into extra twins here.

It is one event.

## Context

King, Boleyn interest, and common-law officers share the machine. A minister’s destruction by royal displeasure is a justice path.

[Henry VIII](/people/henry-viii)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Reign 1509–1547. Statutes are parliamentary instruments with royal assent: Cromwell, bishops, judges, and unnamed officers share the file. Later legislation.gov.uk and TNA pages are carriers, not autographs. Complex contribution is required.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and British History Online independently describe the 1529 fall.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Henry VIII (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-VIII-king-of-England; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

It is not a modern impeachment series.

## What is established and what is not

Established: October 1529 loss of office in standard lives. Not established: unique faction coefficients.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Henry VIII.

They are not a public rating.

Henry VIII did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Keep 1529 fall distinct from the 3 November Parliament. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Henry VIII.
