Philip Hoby
Courtier
The story so far…
Week 43: Nonsuch
February, 1538. Hoby is sent to France. ‘Hoby is a gentleman of the privy chamber: a gospeller, good-looking and keen, and well-briefed by himself, the Lord Privy Seal.’
Week 44: Corpus Christi (Part 1/2)
Cromwell schools Hoby in how to speak to princesses: make them think you are in love with them. Hoby and Hans go to France and the Empire for more painting.
