As soon as wolseys downfall Cromwell went to king and kissed butt for a job. Nor was wolsey a nice man. He had a mistress and had bastard children& paid her silence. No where does it say Cromwell was ashamed of Gregory nor was he slow in mind. He was granted titles& lands when Cromwell died& married Jane Seymours sister. Too bad he died in his thirties by sweating sickness like mother& Sisters. Mantel suggests wolsey may died of Cancer. Not a factual point. No historian can say thats factual We dont know? The Tudors showed Wolsey killing himself thats unfactual true. The best way to know more factual things is reading, but even though some books arent factual in themselves.
