Reform Taxes
Answer
Negotiate an annulment refers to the failure of Thomas Wolsey, the powerful cardinal and chief minister of King Henry VIII of England, to secure the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The inability to obtain the annulment, despite Wolsey's efforts and negotiations with the Roman Catholic Church, led to his downfall and loss of favor with the king.
