Diarmaid MacCulloch, Ph.D.: "Thomas Cranmer:" Ch.5: Boleyn & Cromwell, 1...



Northern uprisings in 1536 and 1537 detail, specifically, evangelical reformers with Cranmer cited. The ecclesiastico-legal network chattered, a network said to include the cautious Archbishop Lee of York as well as the Aragonese network reaching to Spain. Cranmer’s credentials and reputation was known. Tom knows he's a known or suspected evangelical reformer. MacCulloch notes that Cranmer did not enrich himself as monasteries were being closed, but got in a few legal and financial pinches on a few properties in Kent. How far would Cromwell go in pursuing reforming ideals? How far would Henry VIII allow change?
