Pole, Reginald

Pole, Reginald (1500–58), Abp. of Canterbury. Of the blood royal by his mother, Pole declined Henry VIII's offer of the see of York or Winchester in 1530, and wrote a book censuring the King's conduct. Paul III made him a cardinal in 1536 and in 1538 sent him on a fruitless mission to persuade Spain and France to break with England. On Edward VI's death in 1553, Pole was appointed legate in England. He formally absolved Parliament from schism and presided over a synod of both Convocations. In 1556 he was ordained priest and consecrated Abp. of Canterbury two days later. With the outbreak of war between Pope Paul IV and Philip II of Spain, Queen Mary became the Pope's enemy and he cancelled Pole's legation.
