Catherine, as smugly as her position would allow, and in her mind, remained Queen. On the advice of Henry's council, and because Henry simply could no longer rely on him, Wolsey was arrested for treason. He never made it to the Tower. He died almost immediately after being seized. Cardinal Wolsey was gone, and Hampton Court Palace, with all its splendid gardens, mazes and rich furnishings, now belonged to the King in its entirety. Court was being held here, and Amethyst was given apartments much closer to the King's chambers, but still not adjoining, as she'd requested. The Boleyns, permanent fixtures now, had apartments at the opposite end of the palace. One day Henry told her, "I am bringing the case before the universities of Europe and soliciting their advice. A theologian at Cambridge, Thomas Cranmer, came up with the idea. He believes the weighty consideration of many clerics upon the question will sway the Pope," the King told her on their first full night in residence at Hampton Court.
