'AB should have stayed on cromwell's good side and supported his policy, which she believed unduly favoured those of the realm who were already wealthy and would disadvantage the poor'...........you are not serious people.

#cromwell was the servant of the crown; not the other way around. like #the way this conflict is discussed...lmao #i wish she had stayed on his 'bad side' but gained the advantage . we are not the same #also like what exactly is she supposed to have done; like it is all just simply...not ....realistic........#should she have encouraged henry to promote him and then protested his policies?#because obviously any promotion was going to suggest her tacit approval of said policy #and thus! alienate latimer and all the religious men and scholars she had patronized who were in agreement ; who were her supporters #where cromwell wasn't....#that is simply not how royal favour worked .#you did not grant the favour and then hope for the best .#it was edward seymour who benefited from the dissolution; like...#i find it admirable that she stood for her principles when remaining silent might have satisifed the nobility who wanted the gains #she warned and censured about the direction it seemed to be going #whereas her successor didn't say boo on the matter until five months into her own queenship #AFTER her family had already directly benefited from the dissolution.
