Thomas Cromwell, Volume II: Short Stories of the Forgotten Brits of the 1500s – Throne Games, Book 2
The second volume of Short Stories of The Forgotten Brits of the 1500s – Throne Games.
Thomas Cromwell started as a scrappy blacksmith’s son from Putney.
Before he became the King’s right-hand man, Cromwell was a soldier, a merchant, and (allegedly) a bit of a dodgy dealer. By the time Henry VIII noticed him, he’d already survived Italy, bankruptcy, and at least one attempt on his life. Somehow, he ended up masterminding the greatest religious upheaval England had ever seen.
This short book follows the rise of Thomas Cromwell as he claws his way to the top of Tudor politics with brains, charm, and absolutely no regard for noble birth.
This short biography shows Cromwell not just as a power behind the throne, but as a man who played the game better than almost anyone... until, well... we'll talk about that.
Perfect for fans of quick history, ambitious commoners, and courtly chaos.
