Quote

The birth of a prince comes at a terrible price and Cromwell must help the king get through it; Cromwell sees a chance to form a new alliance.

It's gotta be tough to be Cromwell. His past machinations are haunting his sleep. Any change in circumstances causes a reshuffling in Cromwell’s agenda. And a once revered royal council is now not so revered.

[Haleth]

The storm clouds are gathering.

Mr. Cromwell, think about your boss's temper. You may wish you had accepted Jenneke's invitation to move to Antwerp.

I liked Cromwell’s relationship with his new daughter. She seems nice and he’s gentle with her, even allowing her to choose who to marry if that’s what she wanted (pretty big given the times). But he serves a very mercurial ruler and he needs to watch his back

Cromwell has also managed to piss off much of the hereditary nobility which doesn't bode well since they consider him to be a low-born peasant in comparison to their fancy pedigrees and they don't believe someone from his humble beginnings should have the amount of power that he does.  They hang out with the king 24/7 and we know he listens when they whisper in his ear.  There are more than a few who will view this as an opportunity to get rid of Cromwell so that they can get closer to the throne.
