After Anne Boleyn’s execution in 1536, Thomas Cromwell stands at the height of his power. He manages the king’s marriage to Jane Seymour, the birth of Prince Edward, the redistribution of monastic wealth and the suppression of resistance to religious and political change.

Success leaves Cromwell exposed to noble enemies, religious rivals and Henry VIII’s increasingly unpredictable judgement. The Pilgrimage of Grace, Jane’s death and the failed marriage to Anne of Cleves narrow his room for manoeuvre until the system he has built is turned against him.
