Did you know that he had a son?
The book I have just read to try shedding some light on the "Geoffrey
Pole IV Mystery" mentions a Thomas More, priest, in 1612. He writes
some of the letters and his actions are reported in the others:
obviously not our man, born at least a century earlier and without a
head for at least seventy years. It is his great-grandson and namesake.
There are other great-grandchildren, surnamed Roper, by his well-known
daughter.
Anyway, I have read this book. Geoffrey and his cousins are mentioned
regularly but my only clue is that he was accused of sexual deviation
(not hesitation or repeatition!) at the English College in Rome during
the 1590s by a Jesuit. Geoffrey's moderate Catholic grouping were
almost literally the Jesuits' mortal enemies.
A good motive for murder at the time but surely not twenty years later?
