Off the top of my head Thomas Wyatt infodump for @beanifred

Re: The importance of Thomas Wyatt in Mirror and the Light (as well as Wolf and Bring up the Bodies).

Wyatt is a key figure in the books. HIs poetry is often a source of rumination for Cromwell. In Mirror and the Light Cromwell says things like "I love him more than any other living person" so I expect that he will also at least be a character in the upcoming season of the show, but I don't know. They left Wyatt out of the first season because there were already too damn many Thomases and it's difficult to dramatize Crom reading Wyatt's poetry or whatever. (Though you know he could be sprawled across his bed, feet crossed, drawing hearts around Wyatt's name like a stereotypical teenage girl... He is in my heart.)

Mantel explains the extraordinary lengths Cromwell goes to in order to protect Wyatt, who is more deeply implicated as a potential lover for Anne Boleyn than almost anyone else, by having Cromwell make a deathbed promise to Wyatt's father, John to protect Thomas Wyatt. And it's true that Cromwell had worked for John Wyatt prior to the time he went into Wolsey's service. But then he did favors for many noble families in Kent, usually via an older female relative (Mantel doesn't pull that "every woman is thirsty for our boy Crom out of nowhere).

But Cromwell frees Thomas Wyatt from the tower and goes out of his way to make sure that Wyatt does not meet the same fate that he, himself met a few years later...

I’m making and reblogging memes about a long-dead, cutely nicknamed advisor to a king...

Call that cromposting.
