Resource summary
Why did Cromwell fall from power?
Factional rivalries
Cromwell's enemies at court made use of the failed Cleves marriage
The Duke of Norfolk used his niece, Catherine Howard, to gain influence with Henry again
Catherine was encouraged to spread rumours about Cromwell at court
Norfolk accused Cromwell of protecting a group of extreme Protestants in Calais - to drive a wedge between Cromwell and Henry
Norfolk conversed with the King of France in 1540
They discussed the fall of Cromwell and a restart of war between France and the Holy Roman Empire
This improved Norfolk's relationship with Henry
Religious policies
Cromwell could make religious decisionson behalf of the King because of his appointment as vicegerent in spirituals in 1535
Cromwell's Protestant ideas were too radical for Henry
Henry was influenced by religious conservatives eg Steven Gardiner
Lambert's death was followed by a royal proclamation against heretics and showed Henry's more conservative views on religion
This was further confirmed by the Act of Six Articles which reinforced Catholic ideas eg transubstantiation
Royal marriages
Cromwell arranged the Anne of Cleves marriage. Henry thought Cleves ugly and blamed Cromwell for the marriage's failure
This weakened Henry's relationship with Cromwell
Henry also disliked Cromwell's extreme reformist policies
Hapsburg-Valois conflict ended the need for a Protestant alliance
Numerous marriages displeased the Pope
Pope excommunicated Henry in 1538
