So far, it absolutely doesn't. After having read books 1 and 2 as print books, it's also an interesting experience to be switching to audio (which works very well, as Mantel had -- even in book 2 -- taken the readers' comments about too many not-easily-attributed "he"s to heart, so if she's now using the pronoun, there's never any doubt whether she means Cromwell or somebody else). What I particularly love about Ben Miles's narration is that he gives Cromwell an ever-so-slight trace of a working class accent, so in addition to his occasionally a bit blunter speech patterns, this is one more mark of distinction vis-à-vis the aristocratic courtiers all around him.
Now if only had occurred to Mr. Miles that the nickname that Thomas Wriothesley had in Cromwell's house -- "Call-me-Risley" -- may have had something to do with the non-phonetic 16th century pronunciation of his last name ...
