Mary Tudor's Cupboards and Drawers at Hunsdon House
Cromwell's men yank open cupboards and drawers throughout Mary Tudor's private chambers and dining room at Hunsdon House. They rummage with brutal efficiency, overturning contents in search of incriminating letters or hidden items. Mary watches from afar, her fury mounting as the search invades her most personal spaces under Wriothesley's watch. Lady Shelton trails her when restraint breaks.
