Factions at CourtThe fall of Cromwell and problems in the Final Years of Henry VIII reignSlide5

FactionalismA existence of 2+ factions

Faction

A group of people who work together to achieve something (normally competing with others)

Note: in the context of Tudor England, factions are generally trying gain recognition from the King (Henry VIII)Slide6

Thomas Cromwell’s Fall (p105-106)Anne Boleyn was married to HVIII for three years… but then was accused of adultery (with her brother amongst many others) and was executed. 13 days later Henry married Jane Seymour!In 1537 things were going well for Cromwell, Henry had married Jane Seymour and a male heir (Edward) was born. Protestant reforms were progressing well.Cromwell looked to set up a foreign protestant marriage for Henry when Jane died.Cromwell arrange a marriage to Anne of Cleves (in Germany). This went terribly wrong as Cromwell and Henry appear to have been misled over her appearance. The marriage went through but didn’t last long and the relationship between Henry and Cromwell was damaged by this.Slide7

Cromwell’s fall and death…Slide9

Cromwell the Man (p.106)Traditional view- cunning, scheming man with no morality. He used informants to spy on his enemies and get them executed.Elton however sees him very differently: Explain Elton’s viewWhat are the interpretations of Cromwell in Sources B, C and D?Which is the more convincing?Slide10

Interpretations B: Traditional view asserted; King is to blame for this; misleading view; could keep up; no appetite for show; business-mindedCROMWELL AS THE TALENTED, BUSINESS MANC: King was closer to decisions; need a pro-active minister; political originality; less recognitions that WolseyEMPHAISES THE KINGS ROLE

Tradition view asserted; formative; shift in reputation; Elton’s view

BALANCED VIEW – BUT CROMWELL WAS MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN WOLSEY Slide11
