Collectanea Satis Copiosa

In an effort to gain the support of other monarchs and possibly convince the Pope of the validity of his case for annulment from Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell dispatched diplomats to all of the major universities across Europe. Their mission was to present the King's evidence to the learned scholars at these colleges and determine their conclusions regarding Henry's marriage. In this video Tudor historian David Starkey discussed this collection of scholastic opinions in the work entitled the "Collection Most Abundant".
