14.第二天一早，珀金的队伍发现头领不见了，他的妻子也因失去爱人的保护而伤心哭泣。接下来，国王下令将队伍中许多人以叛徒论处，当场吊死；一队骑兵也a 都铎王朝的公主：詹姆士迎娶了亨利七世的长公主玛格丽特·都铎，因为她的血缘，后来的苏格兰国王詹姆士六世得以在1603年称王英格兰。
b 陶顿：位于索默塞特郡，地处埃克塞特城东北28英里。
c 神圣避难所：即规定抓捕行为为非法的特殊处所。古时候在许多大教堂和修道院中，有一处特殊场所可以让正义的逃难者避难，追捕者不能在此地对他下手，这样的地方就被叫做神圣避难所，或者叫圣地。
赶来将这女人带到了气愤不已的国王面前。在此情境下，她满脸羞涩，娇滴滴的泪痕让她宛如梨花带雨，更加楚楚动人，并且对她丈夫将部队和她自己遗弃的行为深感羞愧。见此情形，亨利没有对她施以惩罚，而是让她给伊丽莎白王后当了仆人。
15.很快珀金也被擒获，并在伦敦到处游街示众，最后关进了伦敦塔。他曾试图逃跑，但是失败了；因此又被戴上足枷投入威斯敏斯特大教堂的死牢，最后押至齐普赛大街，依然戴上刑具，并且被强令宣读一份文书，文中坦白他的真实出身和早年生活，承认自己根本不是约克公爵王子，而是一个普通商人的儿子，来自平民阶层。
16.此后不久，肯特郡又发生了企图推翻亨利的叛乱，一个鞋匠的儿子和一位修道士充当了头领。这次叛乱平息之后，亨利觉得为了王位的安全，有必要除掉珀金。于是，这位传奇般的英雄人物被送上了绞刑架，结束了短暂却不平凡的一生。事后来看，亨利有极大可能主动构陷了珀金的死刑，首先是故意给他机会让他逃跑，事后又秘密策划了肯特的叛乱，这样就给处死珀金和其他敌人找到充分的借口。

HENRY VIII.（PART I.）

1.Henry the Eighth，son of the late King，was eighteen years old when he came to the throne.As his father was of the House of Lancaster and his mother of the House of York，he united the two Houses in his own person.He married Catherine of Aragon，widow of his elder brother Arthur.
2.When Henry came to the throne the nation was at peace，and his treasury was full with the wealth which his father‘s greed had gained.But he gave himself up to pleasure and gaiety，and soon wasted all his riches.
3.In 1513he invaded France，and gained
a
the Battle of Spurs，
-so called because the
French made more use of spurs infleeing than of swords in fighting.While he was away，James the Fourth of Scotland invaded England；but hebwas defeated and slain on FloddenField.
4.Henry’s chief friend and adviser in the early part of his reign was Thomas Wolsey，who，from a low rank in life，rose to the highest offices in the kingdom.
a Battle of Spurs.-Fought at Guinegate，near Terouenne；12miles east of Boulogne，in the north of France.
b Flodden.-In Northumberland；14miles south-west of Berwick.
When a boy he was very fond of books.At fourteen years of age he took the degree of B.A.at Oxford，and was called the Boy Bachelor.
5.Henry，finding Wolsey well able to assist him in all his plans，took him into favour.Wolsey，being also in great favour with the Pope，soon rose to be Archbishop of York，and Cardinal.He had eight hundred followers，and he dressed in the most costly robes.
6.But his glory did not last long.In trying to serve two masters，he lost the favour of both.Henry，after having lived eighteen years with Catherine of Aragon，became tired of her，and fell in love with Anne Boleyn，one of her maids of honour.He therefore asked Wolsey to say that his marriage with his brother‘s widow had been unlawful，and to give him a divorce.
7.Wolsey durst not refuse，and so displease the King；and he durst not comply，and so displease the Pope.He therefore put off the matter from time to time，until the King in anger took from him all his riches and power，and charged him with high treason.
8.But Wolsey was never tried.While on his way to London，filled with grief and remorse，he was taken ill，and he died in Leicester Abbey.On his death-bed he said，“Had I served my God as diligently as I have served the King，he would not have given me over in my gray hairs！”
9.In the meantime Henry had put away Catherine，and married Anne Boleyn.The Pope said that he was wrong，and went against him.Henry defied the Pope，and took on himself the title of Head of the Church of England-a title which was afterwards given him by Parliament.

1.亨利八世乃先王七世之子，即位时已年满18岁。由于他的父王属于兰开斯特家族，而母后又属于约克家族，因此他便将两大家族的谱系完美统一。他后来与凯瑟琳·阿拉贡结婚，这是他哥哥亚瑟的遗孀。
2.亨利即位之时，天下太平、国库充盈，这可是他父王贪求一生才攒下的家底。不过亨利却并不满足于波澜不惊的安逸日子，不断挑事，很快就将这一切挥霍殆尽。
3.亨利于1513年出征法国，并且在马刺战役a中大获全胜。这战役之所以叫此名字，是因为法国人最后更多是用马刺掩护逃跑，而不是套在剑上作为武器。在他亲征离开期间，苏格兰国王詹姆士四世趁机入侵英格兰，但被打败，并在弗洛登b战场被杀身亡。
a 马刺战役：战斗发生在靠近特洛因根盖特，位于法国北部的布伦市以东12英里。
b 弗洛登：位于诺森白兰，地处贝里克西南14英里。
4.在执政早期，亨利有一位亲近的朋友及谋士托马斯·沃尔西，此人出身寒门，但却被启用掌管国政大权。沃尔西从小喜欢读书，14岁时即从牛津大学本科毕业，获取了文学学士，被时人称为“少年学士”。
5.亨利发现对于几乎所有的计划，沃尔西都能帮他运筹帷幄出谋划策，俨然天然的股肱之臣，便决心大力提拔他。同时沃尔西也得到罗马教皇的大力支持，很快被任命为约克大主教a和红衣主教b。其信众达到八百人。他所穿的礼袍的昂贵程度，当世无出其右。
6.不过他的风光日子并没有持续多久，因为要两边讨好，结果搞得两边都得罪，落得两边都失信失宠。亨利从8岁开始就跟凯瑟琳·阿拉贡生活在一起，时间久了便心生厌倦，后来他爱上了凯瑟琳的一位未婚侍女安妮·博林。于是他找到沃尔西，让其宣布他与兄长遗孀的婚姻非法，判决他们离婚。
7.沃尔西一旦拒绝，必然触怒国王；但要是服从，又必然触怒教皇。如此左右为难进退维谷，他只能将此事一拖再拖。拖到后来国王忍无可忍勃然大怒，收回了他所有的财产和权力，以严重的叛国罪将其逮捕。
8.虽然失势，但是沃尔西并没有被审判。后来在他去伦敦的路上，他由于内心过度悲痛懊恼而忧劳成疾，最后在莱斯特修道院与世长辞。临终之际，他躺在病榻上说：“要是我侍奉上帝像侍奉国王那样殷勤诚恳，他也许就不会在我白发苍苍之际将我抛弃！”
9.亨利此时已将凯瑟琳抛弃，与安妮·博林成婚了。教皇发声指责这是错误的行为，专程跑来反对亨利此举。亨利毫不示弱，与教皇公然作对，还给自己加了个头衔“英格兰教主”，后来此头衔得到了国会确认，国会将其正式授予了亨利。
a 约克大主教：英国国教英格兰圣公会的最高神职人员之一，地位仅次于坎特伯雷大主教。约克大主教同时还是约克教区和约克郡城区的主教，掌管英格兰北部以及英属曼地群岛相关宗教事务。依据法律职责，约克大主教同时是英国上议院成员，被尊称为“英格兰大主教”，仅次于坎特伯雷大主教的“全英格兰大主教”称谓。--译者注b 红衣主教：即枢机主教的俗称，因穿戴红衣红帽，被教外人士称为红衣主教。是天主教会神职人员中仅次于教宗的职位，同时也是教宗治理普世教会上的助手和顾问。享有枢机主教教衔的人，通常是各大教区大主教上级的都会主教和宗主教，或是梵蒂冈教廷的内阁成员。--译者注88FLODDEN FIELD弗洛登战场
