Salisbury and the Suffolks

You have to suspect, given the general warmth of their family relationship, that salisbury and catherine were not lovers. The other thing for which salisbury was in receipt of the crucio curse then and among historians now, ish, was for corruption. There really was no tradition at all of the career bureaucrat or politician who must keep his nose clean and resist conflicts of interest. And there is no doubt salisbury made a lot of money, a bit like his dad.
