Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 4, Richard Cromwell stands in the Great Hall awaiting news of Jane Seymour's child; in Episode 5, Richard is present in the Great Hall as Cromwell dispatches Gregory to Calais for Anne of Cleves. Both scenes show him as a trusted household figure present at critical succession-related moments."
