Скачать или смотреть Priest, Diplomat, Powerbroker: The Life of Archbishop Thomas Savage

On 2nd or 3rd September 1507, Thomas Savage, Archbishop of York, died at Cawood Castle in Yorkshire.

Savage wasn’t just a churchman — he was one of Henry VII’s most trusted servants, a skilled diplomat, and a powerful royal official in the turbulent north of England.

In this video, I uncover his remarkable story:

His family connections to the influential Stanley clan
His education at Oxford, Bologna, and Padua
His rise from royal chaplain in 1485 to Archbishop of York in 1501
His role in negotiating Prince Arthur’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon
His escort of Princess Margaret Tudor to Scotland for her historic marriage to James IV
His dangerous rivalry with the Earl of Northumberland
And his final years at Cawood Castle, with his body buried in York Minster and his heart laid to rest in Macclesfield

Though not a household name today, Thomas Savage played a vital role in Tudor politics and diplomacy, and his career reminds us how powerful churchmen could be in shaping both the kingdom and the dynasty.
