Thomas Langley
Thomas Langley was one of the most forthright men of his time. Born during the early years of the Lancastrian dynasty, he held a number of offices including Keeper of the King's Signet, Privy Seal, Dean of York, Archdeacon of Norfolk, Chancellor (1417-1424), Bishop of Durham and became England's first Foreign Secretary. This is the first biography of this important historical and political figure, `The First Spin Doctor'. Langley's role in the political affairs of the time is explored in detail, revealing lesser known aspects of life at court under Henry IV, V and VI. An informative, authoritative and above all interesting and readable biography which has already been widely acclaimed. The parallels drawn between the 15th century and modern-day politics are an eye-opener and make this study relevant to those interested in politics as well as history.
