Description

The moderate man shall inherit the kingdom.That man needs to be the Queenmaker.November 1533 - Thomas Cromwell and Nicola Frescobaldi have their queen on the throne.

The Catholic Church is being destroyed as the Reformation looms over England.

Cromwell has total power at court and in parliament, while Frescobaldi wins favour with the king's illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy.But England's fate is uncertain.

The nobles still despise Cromwell and his Italian creature.

Anne has not given the king a son. Queen Katherine refuses to give up her title, and Thomas More and Bishop Fisher defy their king.

The final Plantagenets think they should hold the throne while the Catholics want Princess Mary named as heir.England can be reformed, but Cromwell must dissolve all the monasteries and abbeys, and with the king on his side, the plan to change religion will sever heads.

Queen Anne is losing Henry's love, but Cromwell could suffer if Anne loses her crown.

Frescobaldi creates a daring plan to replace Anne and regain the Pope's favour, but Cromwell must execute the plans on his own.

Schemes will go astray and the wrong heads will be severed to satisfy a vengeful sovereign.Kings will rise, queens shall fall, children will perish, and the people of England will march in a pilgrimage to take Cromwell's head, while Frescobaldi will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
