but by long leisure and diligent search". (St. Thomas More)

Norfolk

Robert Bolt's play, A Man for All Seasons, depicts Thomas More's friendship with Thomas Howard, Third Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England.  An interesting article from Moreana by M.J. Tucker challenging Bolt's portrayal of Norfolk and that friendship can be found here.
