History Of Thomas Cromwell The Ruthless Statesman

History of Thomas Cromwell, the ruthless statesman who was born around 1485, in Putney, Surrey. Cromwell has been described as the greatest fixer of his age. Thomas Cromwell in history will be remembered as a ruthless statesman who combined subjective commitment to Protestantism along with the interests of his erratic master, with a corrupt determination while enriching himself and his family.

Thomas Cromwell's list of his victims is too long to mention by way of balance, but they included Anabaptists, as well as Catholics, but in the name of king and Reformation he pursued young and old, elderly monks and friars as well as young women, most of which were killed horribly.

Thomas Cromwell is a good subject for fact and fiction. He was and remains somewhat of an enigma both as an ambitious government minister. He became a ‘new man’ rising from the obscurity of a blacksmith’s son to perhaps the most powerful man in England except for his king, Henry VIII.

However, much like his mentor Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Cromwell’s descent was as spectacular and dramatic as his climb.

So was Cromwell the puppet-master or the puppet in the monarch’s affairs of state and of the heart? Regardless of what many think, his life and many others solely depended on the whims and commands of a Tudor king.
