Best Answer

Thomas Cromwell basically fell out of favour of the King. He was made into Lord Privvy Seal but after that he began to disagree with the king's policies. The final straw between Cromwell and Henry was that he persuaded the king to marry his fourth wife Anne of Cleeves when Henry himself was sceptical of her. Henry hated Anne of Cleaves as a wife and lover and therefore blamed all of this on Cromwell. However it was Sir Charles Brandon who made the desicion for Henry as he was jealous of Cromwell and his success. After Cromwell's execution Henry famously quoted "They made me rid my life of the best manservant I ever had." this shows his regret for waht happened but it was basically because he made him choose the wrong wife.

First of all, there is no "Roman Catholic Church", that is a slur, in English, from after the protestant revolt, to refer to the Catholic Church.
