Guistinian's letters paint a vivid portrait of a diplomat's life at court. In this second of two volumes, Giustinian writes of Sir Thomas More, an outbreak of plague, the predicament of Catherine of Aragon, and many other diplomatic and social matters. Translator and editor Rawdon Lubbock Brown (1806–83) had an unrivalled knowledge of the Venetian archives: he was the first historian to appreciate the importance of the dispatches sent from London by the Venetian ambassadors. His edition of Giustinian's correspondence provided an entirely new insight into Henry's reign when it was first published in 1854. Volume 2 also includes an account of the English embassy to the French court in 1518.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAD 1516–17\u003cbr\u003e AD 1517\u003cbr\u003e AD 1517–18\u003cbr\u003e AD 1518\u003cbr\u003e AD 1519\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266138001688,"sku":"9781108060028","price":30.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108060028i_607fa164-ddbe-462f-af65-731ada1d1bd4.jpg?v=1696747468","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/four-years-at-the-court-of-henry-viii-selection-of-despatches-written-by-the-venetian-ambassador-sebastian-giustinian-and-addressed-to-the-signory-of-venice-january-12th-1515-to-july-26th-1519-paperback-9781108060028","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
