John Barlow

John Barlow

John Barlow was an English diplomat and spy in the time of Henry VIII. Barlow was intimately involved in the King's attempts to secure a divorce from his first wife, Katherine of Aragon from the Pope. Barlow was obsessively loyal to Henry's fiancee, Anne Boleyn to whom he was a devoted follower. Barlow uncovered evidence of Cardinal Wolsey's betrayal of the King's cause in Rome, which he faithfully reported to a horrified Anne in 1528. This information helped solidify the future queen's hatred towards Wolsey, something which played a major part in the Cardinal's fall from power the following year.
