The story so far…

Week 1: Across the Narrow Sea / Paternity

In 1500, Kat runs Pegasus the Flying Horse with her husband Morgan. She nurses her brother Thomas after a fight with their father.

Week 4: An Occult History of Britain (Part 2)

In Cromwell’s memories, we get glimpses of Bet and Kat at home whenever a young Thomas visits and his father is “on top of a stepmother”.

Week 5: Make or Mar / Three-Card Trick

We learn that 1529 took Kat and Morgan Williams too, a year of “such devastation” that wiped out the Cromwells and Williams family. Her sons, Richard and Walter, go to live at Austin Friars, where they take the name of Cromwell.

“I can never add you up, Thomas”, Kat had told Cromwell. And he had taught her to count.
