Hello everyone and welcome to the history of England, episode 238, The Fightback.

I still have a special sponsor and I mean super cool studio, Regent wireless headphones.

I love them, I wear them in many places, they're not in bed yet.

They sound as clear as a bell, they're so easy to use after all those wire based ones

that I've had to throw away over the last six years.

And actually they look great too and when they look great I look great.

But it's not just all about me because there's a special 15% discount for all of you as well.

Just go to suedeo-sweeten.com, enter England when you order.

Let me remind you that I'm also a proud member of the Agora Podcast Network, a smorgasbord

of independent podcasters.

Agora Podcasts the month is not actually a podcast, it's a Facebook site, the Agora Podcast

listeners forum where we need digitally to discuss topics we raise or listeners raise.

It's a foreign frank exchange of views so come along, just hop along to the Facebook

and search for Agora Podcasts listeners forum and there you will find us.

At the moment on the members' shedcast we have a three-parter on Thomas Cromwell along

with the quiz, a poll and a prize draw for an original coin.

So now maybe the time for you to join.

If so, just go to the website, thehistoryv England.co.uk, hit become a member and let the good

times roll.

Last time then I cruelly left you hanging from a cliff, sorry about that.

Just to refresh your memories, by the summer and autumn of 1538 Cromwell was concerned

at the possibility of a reaction by religious conservatives.
