In 1537 , Reginald ( still not ordained ) was created a Cardinal . Pope Paul III put him in charge of organising assistance for the Pilgrimage of Grace ( and related movements ) , an effort to organise a march on London to install a conservative Catholic government instead of Henry 's increasingly ‘ protestant ’ leaning one . Neither Francis I of France nor the emperor supported this effort , and the English government tried to have him assassinated . In 1539 , Reginald was sent to the Emperor to organise an embargo against England — the sort of countermeasure he had himself warned Henry was possible
