Fourty-four charges are brought against Cardinal Wolsey for arrest due to his failure to secure an annulment for the king. These charges vary in nature, with many of them trumped-up and scrambled-for in order to bring about Wolsey’s demise. For example, Wolsey is charged with the crime of buying beef at the same price the king buys it.
