Fn 29 cites L&P VOL X: 200 - a letter from Chapuys,<br /><br /><br /><br />"Many suspect that if the Queen died by poison it was Gregory di Casale who sent it by a kinsman, of Modena, named Gorron, who came hither in haste, and by what he told me the night before he returned, he had come to obtain letters in behalf of the Prothonotary Casale. He said the King and Cromwell would speak to me about it, but they have not done so. Those who suspect this say the said Gregory must have earned somehow the 8 ducats a day the King gave him, and to get a slow poison which should leave no trace ..."<br /><br />Chapuys cannot easily believe this, as there would be too great adanger of its being made known.

Casale was Henry's representative at the Apostolic See in Rome and all over Italy chasing down documents, reports and potential advocates for Henry's annulment. I have checked the Wiki article and can see no mention of Casale at all<br />Regards GregGregory Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476560824795563382noreply@blogger.com
