Hall. He was probably See also:born at his See also:father's See also:manor of Cavendish, in See also:Suffolk. Later the See also:family resided in See also:London, in the See also:parish of St See also:Alban's, See also:Wood See also:Street, where Thomas Cavendish died in 1524. Shortly after this event George married Margery See also:Kemp, of Spains Hall, an heiress, and the niece of See also:Sir Thomas More. About 1527 he entered the service of Cardinal See also:Wolsey as See also:gentleman-See also:- USHER (O. Fr. ussier, uissier, mod. huissier, from Lat. ostiarius, a door-keeper, ostium, doorway, entrance, os, mouth)

usher, and for the next three years he was divided from his wife, See also:children and estates, in the closest See also:personal attendance on the See also:great See also:man. Cavendish was wholly devoted to Wolsey's interests, and also he saw in this See also:appointment an opportunity to gratify his See also:master-See also:passion, a craving " to see and be acquainted with strangers, in especial with men in See also:honour and authority." He was faithful to his master in disgrace, and showed the courage of the " loyal servitor." It is See also:plain that he enjoyed Wolsey's closest confidence to the end, for after the cardinal's See also:death George Cavendish was called before the privy See also:council and closely examined as to Wolsey's latest acts and words. He gave his See also:evidence so clearly and with so much natural dignity, that he won the See also:applause of the hostile council, and the praise of being "a just and diligent servant." He was not allowed to suffer in See also:pocket by his fidelity to his master, but retired, as it would seem, a wealthy man to his See also:estate of Glemsford, in See also:West Suffolk, in 1530. He was only See also:thirty years of See also:age, but his appetite for being acquainted with See also:strange acts and persons was apparently sated, for we do not hear of his engaging in any more adventures. It is not to be doubted that Cavendish had taken down notes of Wolsey's conversation and movements, for many years passed before his See also:biography was composed. At length, in 1557, he wrote it out in its final See also:form. It was not, however, possible to publish it in the author's lifetime, but it was widely circulated in MS. Evidently one of these See also:MSS. See also:fell into See also:Shakespeare's hands, for that poet made use of it in his See also:- KING

The latter is believed to have died at Glemsford in or about 1562.

Its importance as a product of See also:biographical literature was first emphasized by See also:Bishop See also:Creighton, who insisted over and over again on the claim of Cavendish to be recognized as the earliest of the great English biographers and an individual writer of particular See also:charm and originality. He writes with simplicity and with a certain vivid picturesqueness, rarely yielding to the rhetorical impulses which governed the See also:ordinary See also:prose of his age. (E.
