Cavendish identifies in great information the daily life of Wolsey, list his huge home of servants to provide a good notion of the magnitude of the larger-than-life man who outdid Henry VIII in lifestyle and riches, which was his undoing. Through the entire book, he documents Wolsey's infinite acquisitions of bishoprics-including the wealthy monastery of St. Albans, even though he was never a monk-all to feather his already very wealthy nest.
