Cromwell was condemned to death without trial, lost all his titles and property and was beheaded on Tower Hill on the same day as the King's marriage to Catherine Howard. The executioner had great difficulty severing the head. Cromwell made a prayer and speech on the scaffold, professing to die, "in the traditional faith".
