Edmund de la Pole was the Earl of Suffolk. While on the surface Suffolk appeared to be loyal to the King, it was clear that there was underlying tension between the two men.
In July ( 1499, 1503 ), Suffolk took flight to Guisnes, near Calais in France. Henry feared that this would lead to another foreign-backed invasion and persuaded Suffolk to return. He remained in amicable terms with Henry until ( 1501, 1506 ) when he once again fled – this time to the court of ( Maximilian., Margaret. )
Henry was in a vulnerable position as Yorkist support once again gathered. He only had one male heir, Prince ( Henry, Edward ) who was only 10 and was not considered to be physically strong at this stage.
Any of Suffolk’s relations who remained in England were imprisoned. When parliament met in January 1504 51 men, many of whom were connected to Suffolk were attained.
Henry gained the upper hand in this struggle in 1506 when ( Philip of Burgundy, Ferdinand of Spain ) was forced by a storm to take refuge in England. Henry persuaded ( Philip, Ferdinand ) to hand Suffolk over to him as he had seized him from Maximilian. Philip did this on the assurance that Suffolk would not be executed, a promise Henry kept.
