Plantagenet Loyalists
Tudor Court Dynastic and Religious OppositionDescription
Dynastic opposition group recruiting Plantagenet descendants (e.g., Lord Exeter, Courtenay family, Lady Margaret Pole) and led by Sir Nicholas Carew. Aims to challenge Anne Boleyn, install Jane Seymour, and restore Catholic practices aligned with Rome. Thomas Cromwell surveils but does not lead them, downplaying their pretender claims amid stronger dissent (e.g., Elizabeth Barton).
