Wolf Hall

As Cardinal Wolsey retreats north, he urges Cromwell to get close to Anne Boleyn.

Aware that her power in court rests on producing a male heir, Anne becomes paranoid.

Afer uncovering treasonable offences, Cromwell exacts the ultimate revenge.

As the dissolution of the monasteries gathers speed, Cromwell makes a personal pilgrimage to Shaftesbury Abbey to speak with a young nun, who profoundly shakes his view of himself.

The birth of a prince gives England the heir that Henry longs for, but at a terrible price. As the court grieves for Jane, it falls to Cromwell to find a fourth bride for the king.

Cromwell is stripped of his titles and brought to the Tower of London on a charge of treason. He has no friends to speak for him but plenty of enemies among his prosecutors.
