 | | Reginald Pole was the son of Richard Pole, Lord Montague, cousin-german to Henry VII; his mother was Margaret, daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, brother to Edward IV. |
 | | Pole kept clear of the danger, and Henry had to content himself with depriving him of all his preferments, and his two brothers and aged mother of their lives. |
 | | Soon after this, Pole obtained leave to retire from all public offices; but Mary succeeding to the English throne, he accepted the appointment of legate to her court; and being at once freed by parliament from the charge of treason, on which he had been banished, took his seat in the House of Peers. |
