To what extent could Wolsey be considered the 'Alter Rex' during the reign of Henry VIII?

Within the Justice system, there is no doubt that Wolsey acted as an 'Alter Rex'. He used his standings within courts for his own benefit. For example, he introduced the Star Chamber and used it to target nobles who he did not get on with, such as the Duke of Northumberland who was sent to Fleet Prison. As a member of the church, and Henry's servant, he should not have been able to do this. Henry, as the King of England and ruler of the church, had the responsibility to control the nobility and prevent people like Wolsey from taking control. However, Wolsey's introduction of the Star Chamber was for the benefit of the people, to prevent corruption and unfair trials. This is not Wolsey acting as the 'Alter Rex', as he is using his power for the good of the people, fulfilling his Christian duty. The nobles being affected would simply have been an afterthought, as the nobility should be held accountable to the law and not escape it because they are the King's favourite or have paid someone off. Therefore, Wolsey was not acting as the 'Alter Rex' because he was simply following the law to the letter, and not letting anyone get away with it. However, this would have perpetuated a bad image with the nobility, as they were being persecuted, in their opinion, so Wolsey must have been acting as the Alter Rex.
