Thomas Cromwell rose from very humble beginnings to become Henry Viiis chief minister, his right-hand man during the English Reformation.

He wielded enormous power while he retained the kings favour, but the failure of Henrys marriage to Anne of Cleves, which Cromwell had arranged, led to his swift downfall & execution.

John Schofields biography reveals that the popular image of him as a blood-stained henchman is largely fictional. Detailed research into contemporary sources illuminates his brilliant mind & his love for & patronage of the arts & humanities, while short case studies shed new light on his relations with, & his reputation among, Henry Viiis subjects.

The final part narrates the drama of his downfall, & the kings posthumous exoneration of the most faithful servant he ever had.
