 I feel bound to inform you that many people here imagine that most of the newly-created bishops will soon have their desert […] for there is a report that, by persuading the King’s mistress that there was no necessity for the confession , they have encouraged her and made her more audacious and licentious in the prosecution of her detestable and abominable vices; and what is still more blamable on the part of the said bishops, they have taught her that, according to their sect, it was allowable for a woman to ask for aid and help in other quarters, even among her own relatives, whenever the husband was not considered idoneous or sufficiently able to satisfy her wishes.

Eustace Chapuys to Monseigneur de Granvelle. (1536)

chapuys, in general, was not rational when it came to ‘lutheranism’…he even lied about a matter as sacrosanct about a man’s last words before death to make it a catholic ‘win’, which doesn’t speak much to his supposed credibility and ‘fairness’ to enemies.

Unlike Cavendish, the Imperial envoy, who usually faulted Anne for all unpleasant occurences at court, did not blame her for the king's behaviour at Grafton. In hindsight Wolsey himself might have become persuaded that she was responsible for his cool reception, for in October 1529 the French envoy, who had just visited with the legate, reported that she had made the king promise to give Wolsey no more hearings.
