Does anyone have access to this primary source I came across?
There’s a section of a ballad in an article I read that goes:
‘Much ill cometh of a small note
As Crum well set in a man's throat
That shall put many other to pain, God wote;
But when Crumwell is brought a-low
And we read out the Christ Cross Row
Of K L M then shall we have news’.
(You can find this section in the archives in a letter from Norfolk to Cromwell)
But a book also mentioning it says it’s part of a longer ballad adapted from ‘Christ’s cross row’.
I’m pretty sure the author got the extended version - based on his citations - from ‘the defeat of the pilgrimage of grace’ by bush and bownes. Unfortunately I don’t have access to this, and altho I’ve requested it from the library as it’ll be useful for my dissertation, I don’t think they’ll get it in time for the seminar i need it for!
So if anyone does have a copy of or access to that book and the pages relevant to this ballad, I’d be very thankful :)

As the Pilgrimage of Grace became more serious, Chapuys sent his nephew to Mary of Hungary to persuade her that now was the time to lead an invasion against the 'Schismatic,' Henry [VIII], in revenge for his intrigues with the French against Charles [V], his treatment of her aunt, and the 'innumerable iniquities' heaped on the 'patient Princess,' but there was no concerted effort from Europe to support the rebels.

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

What if I became the monster
The one who fell to choose
What If I became the Dawn Star
Be the evil that’s made to lose
So I’ll plummet from the heavens
Plucked wings on wishes made
Broken-halo thrust into me
For every debt I’ve paid
What If I became the devil
An evil they can blame
What If I became the last light
With whom will bear their shame
Did the sinner even know
What was virtue and what was sin
Before the action
Before the world had chance to begin
What If I became the monster
The serpent that offers choice
What If I gave you a tasting
Of a disobedient life that you could rejoice
Does the fool know that he’s foolish
Despite sleights from the wise
Though he’s never harmed nobody
Is he lesser in their eyes?
What If I become amorphous
More than mankind could behold
What if I become the savior
Of the departed and the old?
I would do it all again, oh, Promethean task
Give them fire give them fury free them from the ask
I would let them leave the guarden wherein their made to bask
I would give them freedom and remove their weighty mask
I have become the monster
From each choice i have incurred
I have become the monster
If only that it were

So I'm currently rewatching The Tudors Season 3 Episode 7 and the downfall of Cromwell is about to happen w/the arrival of Anne of Cleves. I can't decide if I feel sorry for Cromwell or not. It sucks that Henry executed him for such a stupid reason but at the same time he did help take down Anne Boleyn and framed her for adultery.

‘Against the Pilgrims’ wishes, Henry retained his right to bequeath the crown to whomsoever he liked, in the event of a lack of direct heirs; but by 1540 this no longer had sinister implications, thanks to the removal of Cromwell, whom the Pilgrims had feared Henry would make his successor, and to the birth and survival of Prince Edward’
- Bush, Bownes ‘The Defeat of the Pilgrimage of Grace…’ - p. 399.
I find it hard to believe Henry would ever have done that lol. But I suppose the more important thing is the Pilgrims thought it was possible, which is an interesting idea. It also says a lot about their political awareness imo - their engagement and their understanding.

The Lincolnshire petition named six bishops, including Thomas Cranmer, archbishop of Canterbury, whose orthodoxy was suspect. The Lincoln articles sent south from the first Doncaster meeting requested the punishment of subvertors of the laws of God and the realm and specifically named Cranmer, Cromwell, Audeley, and Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worcester. The Pontefract articles, again drawing back from some of the Pilgrims' earlier and wilder demands, merely sought the punishment of heretics, whether bishops or lay persons.

Day 10 - Finding My Personal Reason for My Pilgrimage - MidDay: October 7
In March of this year, I was suddenly ill with a worsening chest pain over my heart. I was so debilitated I needed a handicap placard and was trying to figure out how to get a wheelchair to take me from my car to the cardiologist’s office, when things finally eased up a bit.
I had knew something had been going on for a while; I’d had signs of heart failure for over a year, but all normal tests.…
