A brief history of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey who helped shape England's foreign policy through the early part of Henry VIII's reign, and beyond, along with his subsequent fall from grace when he failed to procure the King's divorce.

Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Didn't realise that it was until Tricia pointed it out. Since I already have done nearly a third of it I'll continue

Well, I'm done. I have asked Elise of she's still doing the PL for this project, although I know shes really busy at the moment. She did say she'd let me know over the weekend, so we may need to throw this open.

I just added a ~ before the title in the subject line. Let's see how that does in attracting a DPL.

I can DPL this if you like. Do we want file times in the MW notes?

Should the title for section 11 be "Chapter Eleven: The Work of Wolsey" to be consistent?
