Hello friends and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, the original Tudor History

podcast celebrating 15 years this year of telling stories of Tudor England. I am your host, Heather,

and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are,

our place in the universe, and being much more deeply in touch with our own humanity.

So in this episode, we are going to talk about the relationship between Anne Boleyn and Thomas

Cromwell. Of course, we just marked the anniversary of the death of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. Of course, we just marked the

anniversary of the death of Ambelin, which was largely brought about because of Thomas Cromwell.

How much was he responsible for her execution? Weren't they originally friends? Who knows? Let's talk about it.

I have to tell you, if you wonder why I sound a little different this week, it's because I have a sinus infection.

So that's been fun.

I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to stop and cough a couple of times while I'm doing this.

But I'll edit all of that stuff out.

So, you know, you just get to hear my like kind of sultry,

like two octaves lower voice for this episode. One thing I want to welcome the newest YouTube

members. Of course, if you're listening to this on YouTube, you can join the YouTube channel
