Sample Book Insights:

#1 Thomas Cromwell was the most powerful man in England during the Tudor dynasty. He was born in 1485, which was fitting since it was in that year that the Tudors came to power. His family were not originally from Putney, but from Norwell in Nottinghamshire.

#2 The Cromwell family had owned a fulling mill at Putney for fifty years. Walter also owned a hostelry, an Anchor, and a brewery, along with two virgates of land. He was a successful local tradesman.

#3 The city of London was defended by handsome walls, and within these stood a strongly defended castle on the banks of the river Thames. The King of England and his Queen sometimes had their residence there.

#4 Franciscius was shocked by the Londoners he met, their wicked dispositions, and their contempt and neglect of their children. He especially disliked the streets that got wet with the slightest amount of water.
