Wrong Cromwell!
I think we are talking about Oliver Cromwell.

Thomas Cromwell was chief minister for Henry VIII after the execution of Thomas More. He fell under disfavor of Henry because of the uprising of Catholic in the North and one of Henry’s wives. A pretty good series about him called Wolf Hall.

Oliver was Thomas’ great-grandnephew.
