His last years were overshadowed by suspicion of “Lutheran” heresy, and particularly by the hostility of Pope Paul IV (reigned 1555–1559). From then until his death on 17 November 1558, about twelve hours after the Queen had died, he devoted himself to the reestablishment of Catholic faith and practice, and presided over the burning of dozens of Protestant “heretics.” Yet in the 1540s, he had been closely involved with Catholic reformers in Italy, who were influenced by Protestant Reformers. His honor had by then been restored and on 30 November he reconciled England, Wales, and Ireland to the Roman Catholic Church. He then advised Mary on the restoration of Catholicism in her kingdoms and in November 1554 returned to his homeland. When Mary I gained the English throne, in July 1553, he was once again appointed, by Pope Julius III, as legate to England. From then until Henry VIII’s death, in January 1547, Pole was pursued by English assassins, but survived to govern parts of the Papal States, preside as a legate over the opening sessions of the Council of Trent (1545–1547), and narrowly fail to be elected pope in succession to Paul III, in the conclave of December 1549 to February 1550. As a result, he was declared a traitor by the English Parliament, and his brother Henry, Baron Montagu, along with other friends and relatives, was executed for supposedly conspiring with him against the king. After this, Pole used papal legations in a vain attempt to persuade Catholic powers, France and the Habsburgs, to attack England and restore Catholic unity. At the end of 1536, he was made a cardinal by Pope Paul III. But by the time that Katherine died, on 7 January 1536, Pole had turned against King Henry.
In 1529, Pole was chosen by Henry to take part in a mission to Paris, with the aim of obtaining the approval of the influential Theology Faculty of the University of Paris for the King’s proposed divorce of his first wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon. Back in England, he showed every sign of becoming a servant and courtier of the King, who was his relative and still his patron. During that time, he followed a typical Renaissance curriculum, also becoming increasingly interested in theology. He remained in Italy, mainly based at Padua, for about five years, before returning to England. In April 1521, he was sent by Henry VIII to study at the University of Padua.
In 1511, Pole matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating as Bachelor of Arts in 1515.
