Priest, Diplomat, Powerbroker: The Life of Archbishop Thomas Savage
Savage wasn’t just a churchman — he was one of Henry VII’s most trusted ...servants, a skilled diplomat, and a powerful royal official in the turbulent north of England.
In this video, I uncover his remarkable story:
- His family connections to the influential Stanley clan
- His education at Oxford, Bologna, and Padua
- His rise from royal chaplain in 1485 to Archbishop of York in 1501
- His role in negotiating Prince Arthur’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon
- His escort of Princess Margaret Tudor to Scotland for her historic marriage to James IV
- His dangerous rivalry with the Earl of Northumberland
- And his final years at Cawood Castle, with his body buried in York Minster and his heart laid to rest in Macclesfield
Though not a household name today, Thomas Savage played a vital role in Tudor politics and diplomacy, and his career reminds us how powerful churchmen could be in shaping both the kingdom and the dynasty.
