0:12:16 > 0:12:19of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who was her mortal enemy.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20So, I feel a little bit bad about that one.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I didn't spot the similarities.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Oh, yes. you didn't see it. The bald head, the red cape.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, now you mention it, yep.
