This is a significant historical artifact, and also an object of striking beauty and resonance. Released from the Vatican archives for the first time, this 1530 letter - a 3ft- wide parchment with 81 wax seals attached to red silk ribbons. Sent by English noblemen urging Pope Clement VII to annul Henry VIII's marriage to his first wife, (Catherine of Aragon) so the king could marry Anne Boleyn.
