Did Henry regret the death of Cromwell?
I was wondering because I thought I read somewhere Henry regreted it and saying somhing like Cromwell was a faithful servant. I might be wrong I was just wondering.

Difference between Tower Green vs. Tower Hill
To my knowledge (feel free correct me if I'm mistaken) there were only 10 known people to have been executed on Tower Hill (their names are on the Execution Memorial in the Tower of London). During the Tudor period, 6 of these were executed and they were: Anne Boleyn, Margaret Pole, Catherine Howard, Jane Rochford / Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, and Robert Devereux.

Those were the only people during the Tudor Era that were killed inside the grounds of the Tower. The rest were either executed at Tower Hill (so crowds could watch) or Tyburn.

James plays Cromwell too nice
From everything I've read about Cromwell he was a cruel ambitious man. Frain - whom I love - plays him as as thoughtful and contemplative = esp. in his kind treatment towards Thomas More. Also, he's too handsome to be Cromwell.

The most gruesome executions
Okay so I do hope that the tudors show has the right date for the execution of thomas cromwell and lady salisbury
As that would mean they both die in season four
These two executions were two of the most horrid i have come to read about under Henry VII's reign
When thomas cromwell died on 28th july 1540, An ametuer swordsman was hired to execute the "Treasonus traitor" and alas it took the inept man several strokes before he was able to sever his head properly as he kept missing his aim. The crowd who were present (he was not privy to a more formal exeuction like anne boleyn) cheered when atlast the painful ordeal was over and cromwells head fell onto the hay.
Sadder still was the execution of Reginald poles mother in the spring of 1541. the woman declared at the scaffold that she was "not a traitor" and the axeman reportedly "hacked" the poor womans head and shoulders to peices before the head was seperated from her neck and fell...It was a butchery of a murder "that of a chickens death"
Then later on there was the exeuction in 1587 of Mary queen of scots who was favoured by spain and the catholic countries to take the throne in england.
Elizabeths advisor, Francis, soon saw to this and mary was accused of sending letters through papists in england, whether it true or not i am not sure
anyway, Mary took three blows to the neck before her head was severed.

Will Season 3 reveal Cromwell's actions to be absolute loyalty...
Will Season 3 reveal Cromwell's actions to be absolute loyalty to the King, or something more sinister?
From antoinette2 on The Tudors Predictions Page:
On the bright side, Cromwell finally gets his just desserts and we can only hope that his execution will be done with a maximum of pain and anguish. Perhaps he'll see Anne's ghost as he is executed. I still can't find any motivation for some of Cromwell's behavior. He seems the uber evil hatchet man for Henry. I never glimpse the side of him that made him such a radical religious reformer, never discovered what motiviated his insensitive fanaticism to ruin hundreds of historical buildings and confiscate unknown millions of pounds of artifacts to give to the King's coffers. Was this just absolute loyalty to the King? What did Cromwell really receive in return for his many favors?But our Henry loves spending his church money, and this unchecked spending (which continues for a few kings later) will cause Elizabeth I and England much grief as she ascends the throne a few decades later.
