Sir thomas wyatt and henry howard, earl of surrey. Brought the latin and italian sonnet to england. He had an affair with ann bolin (one of king henry"s wives) When he admitted to the king that ann was his mistress, he was only thrown in prison, while ann was executed. Most of his work was not published during his lifetime; it was published in a huge anthology. The collection of his works was called, court of venus and had 97 poems. Women flee from him, yet they were once drawn to him. He talks about these women as being gentle and meek yet they also put themselves in danger. Although he remembers them as being gently and meek, he says they have become wild, possibly because they are no longer with them and able to do as they please. They put themselves in danger because if anyone were to find out about their affair, their reputations" would be ruined.
