Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rutland Papers: Original Documents, Illustrative of the Courts and Times of Henry VII. And Henry VIII., Selected From the Private Archives of His Grace the Duke of Rutland, &C. &C. &C Thus the account of the Field of the Cloth of Gold is an excellent illustration of Shakspere's description of that gay scene in Henry VIII. Act 1. Sc. And at the same time affords negative proof that the Poet was not historically correct, in putting it into the mouth of the Duke of Norfolk, who was not among the King's followers there, as the Dukes of Suffolk and Buckingham were. His Grace's name, on the contrary, is not in the list; and he was, in fact, as there are original letters to showfi the President, or Chief of the Council, left to govern England during the absence of the monarch.
