Thomas Cromwell
When Henry VIII became enraged, Thomas Cromwell was the unlucky target of his wrath. After being removed from an important meeting on June 10, 1540, a day after the marriage was legally dissolved, Cromwell is said to have been transported directly to the Tower of London. He was then found guilty and put to death without being given the opportunity to present his own defense. At the end of July, Henry VIII’s former top minister was eventually decapitated in front of a throng of onlookers in London.

They Were In Good Terms
While Cromwell met a horrible end as a result of his catastrophic decision to turn Anne against the king, the former queen consort appeared to bring out the generous side of Henry VIII. Upon the dissolution of her marriage, she was presented with a palace on the banks of the Thames, as well as a castle in East Sussex. According to legend, Henry and Anne had a strange friendship after their annulment was overturned.
