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."
