England in 1520, is on the brink of disaster. King Henry VIII does not beget a male heir and wants to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, to join in marriage with Anne Boleyn, but Cardinal Wolsey, his chief adviser, do not get the Pope rather than negative.
In this climate of distrust and the need arrives at the court Thomas Cromwell, initially as second Wolsey and later as his replacement. Cromwell is a man with a singular path, the son of a blacksmith who was treated with great brutality, becomes a genius of politics, briber, charming and boastful, with a subtle and deadly ability to manipulate the facts and people. Relentless
in securing their own interests, is so severe with others such as yourself. Its reform agenda has to be opened way through a parliament that only cares about the interests of its members and a king that ranges from romantic passions and impulses murderers.
