Thomas Cromwell
Thomas Cromwell was the unfortunate recipient of Henry’s rage. Cromwell was reportedly removed from an important meeting on June 10, 1540, a day after the marriage was legally canceled, and transported straight to the Tower. He was then sentenced to death without being given a chance to defend himself. Henry’s former chief minister was finally decapitated in front of a throng in London at the end of July.
