Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Audley's cautious pragmatism is on display in both episodes: in Episode 4 he warns Cromwell that including More in the attainder will cause political trouble with the Commons; in Episode 5 he tries to smooth over Henry's outburst with Chapuys, acting as a voice of reason. His consistent focus on political stability defines his character across episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Audley's trajectory as a measured, institutional advisor is reinforced by his actions in both episodes. He is not a plot driver but a reliable voice for order, making his warnings and interventions significant for the narrative's political realism and for understanding Cromwell's maneuvering space.
