Please explain this passage[edit]

Could somebody please explain what the folowing passage means, and whose arrest is being discussed?

In 1542 he warmly supported the privileges of the Commons, but his conduct was inspired as usual by subservience to the court, which desired to secure a subsidy, and his opinion that the arrest was a flagrant contempt has been questioned by good authority.

Please clear up confusion[edit]

Next year he was part of trial of Anne Boleyn and her "lovers" for treason and adultery. The execution of the king's wife left him free to declare the king's daughter Princess Elizabeth a bastard, and to marry Anne's maid, Jane Seymour.

This makes it sound like Audley married Jane Seymour. And I genuinely don't know whether it is Audley or the king who is declaring Elizabeth a bastard.Tlhslobus (talk) 05:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How is that his portrait?[edit]

The corner inscription shows this to be a portrait of a man age 61 born ca. 1508. How, then, is it the portrait of Thomas Audley, born 1488? --24.76.103.169 (talk) 12:08, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the same way as the portrait of his wife, also painted in 1569 - they are posthumous works. Nedrutland (talk) 12:48, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
