Abstract

The article discusses the relationship between King Henry VIII of England and his adviser Thomas Cromwell, drawing parallels to Machiavelli's concept of the lion and the fox. It explores Cromwell's role in facilitating England's break with the Catholic Church and the challenges he faced. The second installment of the BBC series "Wolf Hall" delves into Cromwell's efforts to transform the Catholic Church in England into a Protestant institution, highlighting the complexities of power and religion during the Tudor era.
