Extraordinarily driven and hard-working, he was such a productive reporter that he did not just date his letters; he timed them, too. It was not unusual for him to start work as early as 5 am and finish well after midnight. Sleep, it seems, was reserved for those less ambitious to secure the royal favour.Yet in researching my biography of Cromwell, I have also discovered most materials about him started from his middle age and there were very few about his childhood. The man who would once become the most powerful in England was of such humble origin that nobody can be sure when or where he was born. As a son of a blacksmith, he suffered a lot.I also had in mind the painting, which now hangs in the Frick Collection in New York, of a thoughtful but rather bad-tempered official.

In short, he was the sort of man you would want to have at a dinner party, if not in your place of work.His last letter to Henry VIII, written from the Tower in June 1540, is desperately moving. “Most gracious prince,” he wrote in trembling hand, “I cry for mercy! Mercy! Mercy!” Henry was said to have read the letter three times before he made the last decision. But it was not enough to save Cromwell from the axe.Within weeks of Cromwells death, his royal master was regretting the loss of “the most faithful servant” he had ever had. There has been heated debate ever since among historians, novelists and film-makers alike as to who was the real Cr
