Overall comparisonTraditional historiography - Somerset = "Good Duke", Northumberland = "Bad Duke" - this is completely false as clear Somerset more interested in gaining power than Northumberland Although North did become more like Somerset towards end of reign - reaction to Somerset's coup - clear he saw a need to defend himself and as Hoak said this is something any other Tudor politician would have done e.g. Elizabeth's councillors pressed for the rather unjust execution of Mary, Queen of Scots because she was perceived as threat to the throneDevise alone which has ruined Northumberand's reputation |
