became a source of embarrassment to Wolsey, who arranged for her marriage to George Legh of Adlington, in Cheshire, circa 1519. He provided the dowry. Henry VIII had a mansion built for Legh at Cheshunt Great House. Fictional portrayals Wolsey plays a major role in the early stages of the Autobiography of Henry VIII by Margaret George. Wolsey is the primary antagonist of William Shakespeare's Henry VIII, which depicts him as an arrogant power-grabber. Henry Irving, Walter Hampden and John Gielgud were well known for their stage performances of the role, and Timothy West played him in the 1979 BBC Television Shakespeare production of that play. Henry Irving's reading of Wolsey's Farewell survives on a rare wax cylinder recording. Wolsey is a minor but important character in Robert Bolt's play A Man for All Seasons; he was played in the two film versions of the play by Orson Welles (1966) and John Gielgud (1988), respectively. Wolsey was portrayed somewhat more sympathetically in the film Anne of the Thousand Days (1969), a performance that earned Anthony Quayle an Academy Award nomination. Wolsey was played by John Baskcomb in The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970) and by John Bryans when the series was made into the film Henry VIII and His Six Wives (1972). David Suchet plays Wolsey in the 2003 two-part television serial Henry VIII with Ray Winstone. Terry Scott portrayed a comical Wolsey in Carry On Henry (1970). William Griffis played Wolsey in the Broadway musical Rex (1976), which starred Nicol Williamson as Henry. In the Showtime series The Tudors (2007), Sam Neill plays Wolsey. This production interprets his death as suicide by cutthroat, covered up by the king and Cromwell out of residual affection for him. Wolsey is one of the main characters in Hilary Mantel's novel Wolf Hall (2009), played by Paul Jesson in the RSC production and by Jonathan Pryce in the television serial. He is portrayed through Cromwell's eyes as a mentor and a ruthlessly loyal statesman. A desire to avenge Wolsey's downfall and ignominious death fuels many of Cromwell's actions through the latter half of Wolf Hall and its sequel Bring Up the Bodies, which was incorporated into the stage and television adaptations. In the TVE series Carlos, rey emperador (2015), he is portrayed by Blai Llopis. Wolsey appears in The White Princess, STARZ, Season 1, Episode 8 (2017), played by Mark Edel-Hunt. Philip
