Thomas however sees her as part of a group of conspirators seeking to overthrow Henry and rounds them up, sending some to their deaths. A vengeful Anne wants Thomas More to be among them but Thomas successfully persuades Norfolk to beg Henry to spare him.

Anne suggests to Cromwell that Queen Katherine's daughter Mary should join the newborn's household as a servant as she is deemed illegitimate. She also wants him to go to France to arrange for a suitable marriage contract for her child. Jane Rochford, the queen's sister-in-law, suggests to Cromwell that Anne continues her liaisons with other men. The queen is soon expecting another child but it does not go well. Elizabeth Barton continues to make pronouncements concerning the king and is eventually arrested. Meanwhile, Thomas More refuses to sign the oath supporting Anne as the king's legitimate wife and is beheaded.—garykmcd
- In 1533, Anne Boleyn has given birth to a daughter Elizabeth, much to King Henry VIII's disdain, yet he allows Catherine's daughter Mary being degraded to maid of the 'legitimate' princess, for whom Thomas is ordered to contract a French prince as future groom. As Anne's paranoia over her inability to produce a son grows duly and the king's favor withers, Thomas Cromwell tries to convince Sir Thomas More to sanctify the royal marriage, adherence to which becomes by law a duty, refusal high treason, adding executions to the persecution of the likes of 'holy maid' witch Elizabeth Barton and conspirators against the crown. The chancellor Thomas More however even refuses to wave the papal authority to lead all Christianity against the Ottoman heathen threat, hence is put on trial and condemned to beheading, succeeded by Thomas. Anne's scheming sister-in-law and observant lady-in-waiting Jane Rochford, informs Thomas of the queen's continuing liaisons, a stillbirth doesn't help Anne either.—KGF Vissers
