stephen, wolsey and thomas being in proximity to one another is always interesting because they all essentially started from nothing and made something of themselves. like i just realized they were all co-workers and were dealt bad hands in life, but still, they all essentially ran the country at a point.

#a story between those three - the butcher - the bastard and the black smith's son -#and stephen hated all of them #tho i hate how wolf hall omits that he also had a hand in attempting to help wolsey stay in favor #and when wolsey fell out of henry's favor #stephen took a HUGE chunk of wolsey's household with him so they wouldn't literally be cast in the street #i know goerge cavendish and thomas are close #but it is also likely stephen could've swooped him up #like i know mantel probably didnt like stephen #but that is such a huge part to erase from his character #thomas obviously worked to save wolsey any way he could #but stephen was also working to save the household until he just took them lol #he's a mean - nice - mean person so i get it #historically #he argued with everyone #i think henry gave him the position of winchester to kinda like...make him be quiet AND show that they were still friends #and then he spoke out against henry after TT-TT
