Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

The narrative assertion

"Anne's scheme to destroy Mary's reputation via seduction represents an existential threat to Mary's future; by Episode 6, that threat is neutralized as Anne is executed and Cromwell refers to Mary as 'the princess', a title Anne fought to deny her."
