Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry VIII praises Cromwell for 'sticking by his man' (Wolsey), establishing Cromwell's defining loyalty. In the French court, Cromwell invokes Wolsey's name to authenticate his rise, relying on the same reputation for devotion to his patron."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

Cromwell's identity as a loyal servant of Wolsey is forged in Episode 102 through his actions and Henry's recognition. This character trait persists into Episode 103, where he uses Wolsey's legacy as a credential with François I, showing continuity in his political persona.
