Synopsis

The story of the Tudors. Part 1: Henry VIII is young and handsome and very much in love with his wife, Catherine of Aragon, a devout Catholic. Despite his numerous infidelities, Henry is very happy with his wife, and he dotes on his only surviving child, Princess Mary. However, he is very worried about his lack of sons. Catherine (who has had several failed pregnancies and is ageing) believes that Mary should be Henry’s successor, however Henry is positive that his daughter is not strong enough. He seeks a new wife to bear children with and has fallen in love with Catherine’s lady-in-waiting, Anne Boleyn. Henry works hard to divorce Catherine, who is determined to protect their daughter and will not accept a divorce. With the Pope siding with Catherine, Henry must find another way to annul the marriage. By creating his own church, with himself as the Head of it, he divorces Catherine and marries Anne, who has a daughter with Henry, Elizabeth. But when Anne miscarries their second child, she realises she may have got herself into a dangerous game. And shy Jane Seymour catches the eye, making Anne jealous. As Anne loses her head, Jane gives Henry his greatest desire, a son. But there is always a down side . . .
