But he had a truly awful botched execution. Personally, I think he was always just being the king's servant. I don't condone what he did, but it was his job.
I bet Norfolk and the Admiral couldn't wait to humiliate Cromwell. Nasty lot they were, though Cromwell was no saint, I much prefer him to the other lot!! 😂
Tudor society was so fascinating. So many craved power but if they had only looked at the outcomes of those who had tried before them, I wonder if they would have made another decision?
Cromwell, advanced high in power, obtained many enemies getting there, had far to fall.
Yes!
As Norfolk approached him - I wonder if Cromwell regretted the destruction of Thetford Priory. Many thanks Claire.
What goes around comes around.
to be fair you had to ruthless to survive henry and as cromwell came from humble beggings he had to be extra ruthless

@@anneboleynfiles I also feel the same way. Henry VIII I think regretted ordering his death, remembering him as his most faithful servant.

Poor Cromwell...
And then Norfolk ended up in the tower...what a dance they had to engage in to stay in favour and from the noose!
Yes, the risks of being close to the crown.
