About this product
Product Information
Thomas Cromwell's life has made gripping reading for millions through Hilary Mantel's bestselling novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. But who was the real Cromwell? In this major new biography, leading historian Tracy Borman examines the life, loves and legacy of the man who changed the shape of England forever. Born a lowly tavern keeper's son, Cromwell rose swiftly through the ranks to become Henry VIII's right hand man, and one of the most powerful figures in Tudor history. The architect of England's break with the Roman Catholic Church and the dissolution of the monasteries, he oversaw seismic changes in England's history. Influential in securing Henry's controversial divorce from Catherine of Aragon, many believe he was also the ruthless force behind Anne Boleyn's downfall and subsequent execution. Although for years he has been reviled as a Machiavellian schemer who stopped at nothing in his quest for power, Thomas Cromwell was also a loving husband, father and guardian, a witty and generous host, and a loyal and devoted servant. With fresh research and new insights into Cromwell's family life, his household and his close relationships, Tracy Borman Tracy Borman tells the true story of Henry VIII's most faithful servant.Product Identifiers

Excellent history of Tudor times
I enjoyed this book - it's a real page turner. Boman has done painstaking research which enabled me to get to know this complex man - Thomas Cromwell. Also superb information about Henry V111 and the class system in Tudor times. Lots of detail that I found fascinating about the actual clothing you could or could not wear according to your rank. I got more from this than from Mantels Wolf Hall which of course is a work of fiction.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
