So I'm currently rewatching The Tudors Season 3 Episode 7 and the downfall of Cromwell is about to happen w/the arrival of Anne of Cleves. I can't decide if I feel sorry for Cromwell or not. It sucks that Henry executed him for such a stupid reason but at the same time he did help take down Anne Boleyn and framed her for adultery.

#Rewatching and seeing Anne arguing with Cromwell over the Dissolution of the Monasteries was frustrating.#A big reason why he took her down was because she wanted them to be reformed or re-directed to actually help the poor.#The irony if Henry VIII hadn't been so greedy and had listened to Anne Boleyn instead of Cromwell many people wouldn't have suffered.#The Pilgrimage of Grace would've been avoided if Henry hadn't targeted the monasteries in the way he did.
