Description
Anna, the daughter of Cromwell's number-one enemy, Elizabeth, has been captured by his army. Cromwell has interrogated her to no avail, but it's the medallion she wears, containing a miniature portrait of Elizabeth, that betrays her: taking advantage of her sleep, Cromwell prepares to murder her after throwing the medallion to the ground, but he suspends his gesture to savor the crime he's about to commit.
