George Cavendish (writer)
George Cavendish (1497 – c. 1562) was an English writer, best known as the biographer of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. His ''Thomas Wolsey, Late Cardinall, his Lyffe and Deathe'' is described by the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' as the "most important single contemporary source for Wolsey's life" which also offers a "detailed picture of early sixteenth-century court life and of political events in the 1520s, particularly the divorce proceedings against Catherine of Aragon.〔( Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕
==Family==
Cavendish was born in 1497,〔 the elder son of Thomas Cavendish (d. 1524), who was a senior financial official, the "clerk of the pipe", in the Court of Exchequer, and his wife, Alice Smith of Padbrook Hall, Suffolk.〔 He was the great-grandson of Sir John Cavendish from whom the Dukes of Devonshire and the Dukes of Newcastle inherited the family name of Cavendish. George was an English courtier and author and the brother of William Cavendish, the second husband of Bess of Hardwick. He was probably born at his father's manor of Cavendish, in Suffolk.〔 Later the family resided in London, in the parish of St Albans, Wood Street, where Thomas Cavendish died in 1524.〔 Around this time Cavendish married Margery Kemp, of Spains Hall, an heiress, and the niece of Sir Thomas More.〔
