For instance, on the occasion of Charles V's visit to England in 1521 the imperial theme was prominent in the pageantry addressed to Charles but was not present in that addressed to the English monarch.

38 Bush, Protector Somerset, p. 83. The one area in which Dr Bush conceded originality to Somerset was in his Irish policy. Relying on a pioneering study of government policy in Edwardian Ireland, he traced the beginnings of the policy of conquest to Somerset's period. Somerset must be denied this doubtful distinction. The work on which Dr Bush relied has now been superseded.
