A heretic cardinal, the other Tudor Drake, and a plotting baron

In part two of This Week in Tudor History for the week beginning 5th April, historian Claire Ridgway talks about why Pope Paul IV branded Cardinal Pole a heretic and took away his legatine powers, before introducing you to a sea captain named Drake, but not Sir Francis Drake, and telling you about John Lumley, a baron who was involved with the Ridolfi Plot but kept his head, and a man who was recorded as owning a full-length portrait of Anne Boleyn.
