No but I will clarify that Wolf Hall is not fictionalized history. Much of Thomas Cromwell’s era is heavily influenced by the factions that reported the events. There was some good historical speculation that lead to the author writing Wolf Hall with Cromwell portrayed as a person rather than a characterized villain as accepted history paints him.

Likewise, Adrian Goldsworthy, a good serious historian, does a good job with his historical novels painting Romans in Britain.
