At sixteen, Pack’s father began preparing him for stately affairs by sending him to London’s premier grammar school and subcontracting him out to Lord Chancellor and Archbishop of Canterbury John Morton at Lambeth Palace.

Morton saw first-hand how this apprenticeship had an enduring effect on young Pack, molding him into an articulate orator capable of crafting strong arguments.
