Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Royal Court Guards' role as silent enforcers of royal authority is established in Episode 4 when they escort More after his defiance, and in Episode 5, a guard steps forward during Henry's tirade, poised to arrest Cromwell if commanded—showing the guards' consistent function as instruments of the king's volatile will."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Across episodes, the guards remain passive extensions of royal power, ready to act on Henry's unpredictable commands. In Episode 4, they enforce order against More; in Episode 5, they threaten Cromwell, demonstrating that no one is safe from the crown's coercive force.
