The House of Cromwell is an original new history that brings together Thomas Cromwell and Oliver Cromwell for the first time.

It is astonishing that these two men - two of the most powerful, impactful and controversial commoners in British history - came from the same family. They came from nothing and fell back to nothing, but not before they had walked with giants, changing everything as architects of the early modern world. Thomas made England, Oliver made Britain.

Miranda Malins takes readers on an extraordinary journey through two centuries of history, from the Wars of the Roses to the accession of the Hanoverians, to delight readers who love to explore family dynamics, dynastic succession and discover overlooked voices from the past - particularly those of women.

Family mattered above all else to the Cromwells. Without understanding their family, we will never fully understand them. The House of Cromwell is the first history of the most unique, disruptive, creative and controversial family to rule Britain.
