Cromwell, Thomas, Earl of Essex
Cromwell, Thomas, Earl of Essex (1485–1540) English statesman. Cromwell was secretary to Cardinal
Wolsey and succeeded him as
Henry VIII's chief minister in 1531. He was responsible for the acts of the
Reformation parliament that established the
Church of England with the King as supreme head. Cromwell's ruthless management of the
Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536–40) was demonstrated by the Pilgrimage of Grace (1536). He made vital reforms of local government. Cromwell fell from power after the failure of Henry's marriage to
Anne of Cleves, and was executed.
