Note 241 — SOME PARTICULARS OF THE LIFE OF QUEEN ANNE BOLEIGNE.
Reading edition
Dr. Augustine, or Agostino, a native of Venice, was physician to the cardinal, and was arrested at Cawood at the same time with his master, being treated with the utmost indignity: v. Life, pp. 348, 351. In the Cottonian MS. Titus b. i. fol. 365, there is a letter of his to Thomas Cromwell, in Italian, requiring speedy medical assistance, apparently for Cardinal Wolsey. It is dated Asher, Jan. 19th, 1529-30. Cavendish describes him as being dressed in a “boistous gown of black velvet;” with which he overthrew one of the silver crosses, which broke Bonner’s head in its fall.
