Best Answer

Wolsey was on his way back from York to see Henry VIII who had summoned him. He died of an unknown illness - that is all that is known. A recent TV historical-drama called The Tudors took artistic license suggesting that He (Wolsey) took his own life by sliting his neck in Leicester. Regardless, had he completed the journey it seems likely that he would have been executed after the king had questioned him.
