It is worth noting in passing some inconsistency in Guy's account of the emergence of the royal supremacy: in these works and in those discussed in the review, Christopher St German is given a prominent part in its making; in ‘Henry VIII and the praemunire manoeuvres of 1530–31’, English Historical Review, XCVII (1982), 481–503Google Scholar, the royal supremacy is seen as an accidental product of Henry's desire to secure a financial grant from the clergy in early 1531 (but cf. my ‘The pardon of the clergy reconsidered’, art. cit., n. 4 above); while in ‘Thomas Cromwell and the intellectual origins of the Henrician Revolution’, in Reassessing the Henrician age, Guy pursues the royal supremacy back to the early years of Henry VII's reign.
