  • Description: Yet, by the later 1670s, Howard sat in tension with the political direction of the court, and its drift towards association with Louis xiv – offensive to the cardinal's temperament at once by dint of his militancy, and his ‘Gallican’ challenges to papal authority. The 1688 Revolution shattered hopes for the advancement of Catholics at home, and dramatised the breach between the Stuarts and the court of Rome, where papal animus towards James ii's Francophile inclinations created distinct ambivalence towards the Jacobite cause. Anstruther's acute understanding of the interaction between recusancy, English politics and international diplomacy renders this biography a vital addition not merely to the study of the cardinal himself, but to the context that underpinned his life.
