Richard Pace

Maximillian wanted use of the funds, which he claimed had been promised to him by Henry, to levy troops in Switzerland and parts of the Austrian territories.

[5] In 1519, Pace returned to Germany (Holy Roman Empire) to discuss with the Prince-Electors the impending election of Maximillan's grandson Charles V to the imperial throne.

He was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, and in 1521 he went to Venice with the object of winning the support of the republic for Wolsey, who was anxious at this time to become pope.

[3] In February 1536, it was reported that Pace's mental imbecillity [sic] for many years past has interfered with the due government of the cathedral[6] and he died in 1536.

[7] In the Showtime television series The Tudors (2007), Pace, played by Matt Ryan, is depicted as being accused of spying, and imprisoned in the Tower of London, wherein he is seen to succumb to madness.
