Some of these answer's are very basic and incorrect. There are many faults, but if we take, for example, "Cromwell's fate can be considered down to himself because of how he pushed forward Anne of Cleves" isn't really true as you have suggested; there were a number of factors, including the loss in confidence as a result of the Pilgrimage, the unfortunate foreign policy and Cromwell's apparent support of Calvinists in Calais. It appears unlikely that the marriage alone would rid Henry of his advisor who had enjoyed prominence for so many years. Indeed it is most likely down to Factionalism, since Henry accused the conservatives of 'trying to rid him of another good advisor' when they attempted to remove Cramner.
