What??? We’re watching “Wolf Hall”(series about Thomas Cromwell) and are about 3 episodes in. He was so nice to the king (so far). Can’t believe he ends up being beheaded.
In the Showtime series “The Tudors” H8 berates his councillors for convincing him to execute Cromwell. When the real H8 died, one of his lifelong chums was one night’s sleep away from execution, it was lucky that the syphilis got the king first.
My favorite movie (and keeping in mind that Hollywood doesn’t make documentaries) about that court remains “A Man For All Seasons”, I viewed that a couple weeks ago for the first time in a while (generally I don’t watch it more than once a year) and had a strong emotional response.
