Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 103, Cromwell tells Chapuys that after Anne Boleyn's coronation, the nobility who currently stay away from court due to her pride will 'come running.' In Episode 104, the courtiers are depicted as part of Henry VIII's entourage at Austin Friars, their presence reinforcing his public image, indicating they have indeed returned to court."
