Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell swears an oath of loyalty to the King to serve as one of his Highness’s Privy Council, but when Dorothea accuses Cromwell of betraying Wolsey to the Duke of Norfolk, Cromwell is put in a vulnerable position where his loyalty is in question. This emphasizes the theme of loyalty and the shifting sands of allegiance in the court."
