Thomas Cromwell: The Real Wolf Hall (Very Short History Book 7)

Thomas Cromwell is now recognised as one of the most influential figures in British history, rising to prominence thanks to his starring role in literary best sellers such as Hilary Mantel's 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring up the Bodies'. His ascent was equally impressive in real life, rising from obscurity as the son of a blacksmith to become King Henry VIII's special advisor, and the most powerful man in the Tudor court for much of Henry's reign. He played a key role in the English Reformation and the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn, before Cromwell's many enemies finally caught up with him, and ensured his execution on trumped up charges of treason.

This very short history provides an overview of one of the most complex characters in British history, and his influence during an era that continues to fascinate historians up to the present day.

The Very Short History series gives the reader a clear, concise, and very short, account of the people and events that have shaped world history. Each book provides an entertaining and engaging narrative, allowing the reader to master the subject in the shortest time possible.
