00:00:41,074 --> 00:00:43,167
- What is your name?
- Lambert Simnel.
2
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,837
(Bell chiming)
3
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:59,358
In the name of God, now!
4
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:01,189
Now, again, what is your name?
5
00:01:01,261 --> 00:01:03,058
Edward Plantagenet, Prince.
6
00:01:03,129 --> 00:01:04,926
- Title?
- Earl of Warwick.
7
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:08,161
- Who is your father?
- George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence.
8
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:11,328
- And where is he now?
- He died, in the Tower at London.
9
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:14,066
- When?
- In King Edward's time, my uncle.
10
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:16,472
- Have you any other uncles?
- No.
11
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:20,138
Oh... Richard, king of the blessed memory.
But he's dead, too.
12
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:21,305
How?
13
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:24,976
Henry the Tudor, Earl Richmond,
slew him at Bosworth field and took the crown.
14
00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:26,643
Are there any others?
15
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:28,448
- Of my family?
- Yes.
16
00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:31,888
They're all dead.
Uncles, brothers, cousins, all dead.
17
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:35,828
Not true. There are some left alive!
18
00:01:35,895 --> 00:01:38,557
I have an aunt, in Flanders.
19
00:01:38,631 --> 00:01:39,928
Duchess...
20
00:01:39,999 --> 00:01:43,730
- Margaret!
- Duchess Margaret of Burgundy. My aunt.
21
00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:45,361
- Cousins?
- No...
22
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:48,498
Yes! My cousin of Lincoln, John...
23
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,270
John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln.
24
00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:53,779
But he's not of the male line.
I am, the first of my house.
25
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:57,374
- The Royal House of York.
- Which means?
26
00:01:58,151 --> 00:02:00,984
Come on, come on! The most apparent answer!
Which means?
27
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:02,919
- The rightful king.
- Oh...!
28
00:02:02,989 --> 00:02:04,547
I am the true and only king!
29
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:07,024
- King what?
- Failing all others of the male line
30
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:10,529
and others of the House of York,
Edward VI, by the grace of God,
31
00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:14,260
King of England and France,
Lord of Ireland, Duke of...
32
00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:16,702
- That's better.
- (Tapping)
33
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:18,134
Who's that?!
34
00:02:18,605 --> 00:02:21,403
Simnel! What in the name of God
are you doing here?
35
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:25,535
What the good brothers of Abingdon pay me
for - repairing of organs, Master Simmons.
36
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:28,706
You are also paid to keep out of the abbey
while the boy is here!
37
00:02:28,781 --> 00:02:31,875
I'll see my son now and then.
Keep an eye on him, like.
38
00:02:31,951 --> 00:02:34,044
He's not your son any more, Simnel.
39
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,021
I'm the Earl of Warwick now, Father.
Master Simmons told me.
40
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,717
He saved me from my enemies.
41
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:40,782
I'm going to be King of England!
42
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:42,657
They're going to make me.
43
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:46,392
Of course we are, Your Highness.
Of course we are.
44
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:48,297
(Simnel) "Your Highness"!
45
00:02:48,368 --> 00:02:50,063
Simnel was spying, Father Abbot.
46
00:02:50,136 --> 00:02:53,731
You were told to keep away from Abingdon.
You're a distraction to the boy.
47
00:02:53,806 --> 00:02:56,798
- (Simnel) He is my son.
- Was! You were very well paid for him.
48
00:02:56,876 --> 00:02:59,310
Now, get out and keep silence.
49
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:02,837
You'll fool a lot of folk, Father Abbot,
but you'll not fool me.
50
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:05,544
Princes, earls and the like.
51
00:03:05,618 --> 00:03:08,280
There be a proper king,
Henry the Tudor, up in London.
52
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:12,313
You'll not fool him neither
if what they say on him's true.
53
00:03:12,392 --> 00:03:14,223
Do you hear me, son?
54
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:16,228
Look at me!
55
00:03:16,296 --> 00:03:18,491
You'll fool nobody in the end.
56
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:19,827
I like being a prince.
57
00:03:19,899 --> 00:03:21,867
You're a pawn in a play.
58
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:23,368
Simnel, get out!
59
00:03:29,909 --> 00:03:32,139
Was that wise? To let him go?
60
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:35,147
- He's not safe.
- He'll have to be taken care of.
61
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:38,343
Now, gentlemen. Before I forget.
62
00:03:38,418 --> 00:03:41,581
Father Simmons,
this is Master Christopher Swan
63
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:42,985
and Master John Mayne,
64
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:47,789
redoubtable citizens of Abingdon
and loyal friends of our cause, eh, masters?
65
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:50,226
This is Father Simmons of Oxford.
66
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:53,527
A fine clerk, Simmons, and if all goes well,
67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,194
will be our Archbishop of Canterbury, no less.
68
00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:58,703
It will go well!
69
00:03:58,771 --> 00:04:01,035
God has told me.
70
00:04:01,107 --> 00:04:05,441
Father Simmons sleeps lightly
and dreams deeply.
71
00:04:05,511 --> 00:04:08,537
The holy spirit has been most communicative.
72
00:04:08,615 --> 00:04:12,711
However, we can't always depend
upon heavenly manifestations,
73
00:04:12,785 --> 00:04:15,083
no matter how divine they may appear to be,
74
00:04:15,154 --> 00:04:18,988
so let us limit ourselves to the more mundane
aspects of our undertaking.
75
00:04:19,058 --> 00:04:21,049
The situation is this.
76
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:23,493
You, boy. Go to the door and keep watch.
77
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:26,758
If Your Highness pleases.
78
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:33,131
The boy is to go to Ireland.
79
00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:36,107
- So soon?
- The sooner the better!
80
00:04:36,175 --> 00:04:39,440
The Irish Lords are prepared to meet
our prot?g? and if they approve of him,
81
00:04:39,512 --> 00:04:43,744
will acknowledge him the true Earl of Warwick
and rightful heir to the throne.
82
00:04:43,816 --> 00:04:46,216
The Irish will use any stick to beat the English.
83
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,914
That boy is not "any stick"!
84
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:53,584
The man Simnel calls him "my son". Master
Simmons here calls him the Earl of Warwick.
85
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:55,890
- I know he is!
- Either way, he's a child.
86
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,759
He may not have the authority, it's true,
87
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:01,459
but he will have the prestige if he's accepted
and that he must be!
88
00:05:01,534 --> 00:05:03,399
Do you have doubts, Master Mayne?
89
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:06,666
Henry Tudor is my quarrel, and all his house.
90
00:05:06,739 --> 00:05:12,006
'Gainst that, the cause of York is my cause
and in its service I follow any man or child.
91
00:05:12,078 --> 00:05:16,242
So if yon boy can be what you say,
then let it be so.
92
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,113
And you, Master Swan?
93
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:23,417
I cannot tell.
94
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:26,083
There'll be many as hard to satisfy.
95
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:30,492
You, boy, go to my parlor
and prepare us some wine.
96
00:05:30,563 --> 00:05:32,326
You know where it is.
97
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:37,895
Come, masters, I have something
will warm you and bend you perhaps.
98
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:49,270
Now are you content, Master Swan?
There are your captains, your leaders' names.
99
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:54,778
Lord Francis Lovell?
How do you know where he is?
100
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:57,982
Since the rising of the Staffords last year,
no one has seen him.
101
00:05:58,057 --> 00:06:01,754
Lord Lovell's attainder after that affair
is good reason for him to lie low.
102
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:05,594
You will, however, find him in Lancashire
with Sir Thomas Broughton.
103
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:06,654
I'll find him?
104
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:09,964
Here are some letters which I trust
you will deliver to my Lord.
105
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:11,936
Yes, Master Swan?
106
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:14,131
Lord Lovell in Lancashire.
107
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,869
Master Mayne, you will have charge
of the boy into Ireland.
108
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:20,777
Here's your passports and some letters
to our friends in Dublin.
109
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:23,247
You will be sent further instructions there.
110
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:27,184
My God, Father Abbot. I'm beginning
to smell the fruit before the bud.
111
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:28,914
(Laughter)
112
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:31,013
(Abbot) Father Simmons is not happy.
113
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:33,388
My little prince will be taken from me.
114
00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:36,394
In order to pursue the end you promised him.
115
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:42,061
- The Earl of Lincoln?
- You are to sound him out in London.
116
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:46,469
John of Lincoln? He's not interested in us.
He was bought by Henry Tudor.
117
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:48,097
But not paid for.
118
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:50,938
Ingratitude destroys devotion.
119
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:54,070
In the Earl's case, Father Simmons
is to find out by how much,
120
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:55,774
is that not so, Father Simmons?
121
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:58,681
- If it will endorse our cause.
- Endorse it?!
122
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:03,051
If John of Lincoln will come out for us
we should need little else.
123
00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:06,114
Now come, gentlemen,
drink up and let's about it.
124
00:07:06,192 --> 00:07:08,626
Here are your orders.
Nothing remains now but the doing of it.
125
00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:11,390
Quickly and without noise.
126
00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:13,489
A moment, masters.
127
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,895
Before you auspicate this enterprise,
128
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:21,201
we would like to thank you
for your kind service in our cause.
129
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:25,005
Almighty God, who blessed us
with the name Plantagenet,
130
00:07:25,077 --> 00:07:27,978
and preserved us in our title Warwick the Earl,
131
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:31,244
and will regenerate our Royal House of York
132
00:07:31,317 --> 00:07:35,754
and in due time, anoint us
England's lawful king.
133
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:39,349
That same God who will reward you
till I am able,
134
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:41,916
protect, guard and guide you.
135
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:45,487
Gentlemen, your hands.
136
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:12,819
You'll not forget your servant Simmons,
Highness.
137
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:15,360
Come, boy. There's work to be done.
138
00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:17,396
Go with Master Mayne.
139
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:25,095
Simmons, wake up. Reality's for dreams.
140
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:29,699
You are to make shift for us in London.
The Earl of Lincoln, remember.
141
00:08:32,712 --> 00:08:34,771
John Hoddlestone...
142
00:08:34,847 --> 00:08:38,078
knight, 42 shillings.
143
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:40,853
Neil Thornborough...
144
00:08:42,154 --> 00:08:43,519
Thomas Otter...
145
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:47,150
- My Lord of Lincoln.
- Your Grace?
146
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:50,662
There's wine, over there somewhere.
Bring it to me.
147
00:08:51,397 --> 00:08:53,126
If you please.
148
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:58,030
Thomas Otter, six shillings eight pence.
149
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:01,433
Yes.
150
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:05,841
The post of King's Butler is an honorable one,
you know, John.
151
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:08,506
I consider it so, Highness.
152
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:12,881
Not as influential post as, er,
President of the Council of the North,
153
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:14,579
or Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
154
00:09:15,421 --> 00:09:18,754
Both of which were yours once,
were they not?
155
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:21,054
Thank you.
156
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:22,788
Do you miss them?
157
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,758
- Do have some with me.
- It's very late, your Grace.
158
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:28,129
Oh, come, sit, John, sit.
And take some wine.
159
00:09:32,805 --> 00:09:34,397
Do you miss these honors?
160
00:09:34,473 --> 00:09:37,033
I am about the King's business,
your Grace keeps me occupied.
161
00:09:37,109 --> 00:09:41,011
You have been industrious on our behalf,
very true. I only wondered...
162
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,640
if time has been lying heavy on your hands.
163
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,250
Trying treason cases in London
and the Midlands.
164
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,756
Three commissions inquiring into felonious
practices in roughly the same area,
165
00:09:50,823 --> 00:09:52,256
a council whenever you've commanded...
166
00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:54,054
You make a great deal of noise on our council.
167
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:56,117
- To little effect.
- Oh? How to little effect?
168
00:09:56,195 --> 00:09:59,392
The oath of liveries and maintenance
which I am expected to administer.
169
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:00,989
- It was our...
- I'm not satisfied.
170
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:02,762
Oh?
171
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:08,998
The returns are inaccurate.
The receipt of fines small.
172
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:11,840
Who is to blame for that?
173
00:10:11,911 --> 00:10:16,871
Perhaps the receipts are small because
you are in disagreement with our order.
174
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:20,407
With care and patience
I could come round to it, your Grace.
175
00:10:20,486 --> 00:10:23,421
You have a deal of care and patience, then?
176
00:10:23,489 --> 00:10:25,980
I shouldn't have thought
they sat easily on you.
177
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:31,957
It must be hard
for a man to lose his whole future
178
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:37,435
as well as his past, on the outcome
of one day's warring at Bosworth Field.
179
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:40,664
Live to see it all go.
180
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:44,938
I think I count Your Highness' trust
sufficient compensation.
181
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:48,208
You think you've got a bargain, then?
182
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,875
Are you sure that my trust is enough?
183
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,551
Can a subject want more
than the goodwill of his sovereign?
184
00:10:57,623 --> 00:10:59,488
More wine, your Grace?
185
00:11:02,928 --> 00:11:04,759
It's very late.
186
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:14,069
Thank you, my Lord.
187
00:11:19,278 --> 00:11:21,109
(Knocking)
188
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:31,714
The King's guard on business
to his Grace the Bishop of Exeter.
189
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:35,887
- (Bishop) What is it?
- I have something for my Lord Bishop.
190
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:39,054
(Bishop) Bring him in, Captain.
191
00:11:49,775 --> 00:11:50,833
Well?
192
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:53,572
According to your instructions, my Lord,
I had him observed.
193
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:57,275
First in the kitchens where he took no food
but spoke with several persons
194
00:11:57,349 --> 00:12:01,251
and later with the Earl of Lincoln's servant,
whom he sought out.
195
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,279
He would have nothing to do with him, but
this man followed him to my Lord's lodgings.
196
00:12:05,357 --> 00:12:09,157
- Did he enter the Earl's lodgings?
- No, my Lord, the Earl was not there.
197
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:11,253
Where is the Earl of Lincoln?
198
00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:14,299
Here in the palace, on the King's business.
199
00:12:14,366 --> 00:12:15,594
Go on, Captain.
200
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:20,662
This man, my Lord, made several attempts
to speak to the Earl in his chambers.
201
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,537
Did he speak to the Earl?
202
00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:28,638
No, my Lord. He tried to,
but the Earl was rather amazed at him
203
00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:31,080
and ordered me to throw him out of the palace.
204
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:34,608
Very sensible of the Earl.
Has he spoken to you, Captain?
205
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:37,918
Only to beg his freedom of me
and not without a bribe.
206
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:40,652
I found these on him, my Lord,
which I took from him.
207
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:44,093
Thank you, Captain. Leave him with me.
208
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,063
My Lord.
209
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,929
But stay within call.
210
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:50,561
Come.
211
00:12:56,876 --> 00:13:00,312
You have not been unnoticed, Master...
What is your name?
212
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:06,211
Richard Simmons.
213
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:09,013
Who sent you, Simmons?
214
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:17,893
That hotbed of malcontents again.
The Abbot of Abingdon will never learn.
215
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:28,633
Captain, bring that man
to his Grace of Canterbury's chamber.
216
00:13:33,412 --> 00:13:37,143
I am the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Master Simmons.
217
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:40,947
There is no provision in canon law
nor room in England for two.
218
00:13:41,887 --> 00:13:45,220
Contrary to your heavenly expectations.
219
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:49,625
I'm also Lord Chancellor of this realm
so I have you on both counts,
220
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:51,959
religious and secular.
221
00:13:52,598 --> 00:13:55,692
I'm afraid you'll have to tell us a little more.
222
00:13:55,768 --> 00:13:58,168
And you will.
223
00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:02,936
Take him to Lambeth. He'll perhaps recall
the names of his friends in prison.
224
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:05,806
Full up, my Lord.
All the ecclesiastical prisons are.
225
00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:11,111
Oh, dear. Then in my secular capacity,
I must put him on the King's payroll.
226
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:12,480
The Tower.
227
00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:15,884
I am a priest!
You cannot send me to the Tower!
228
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:21,393
A king's Grace does not like conspiracy
or insurrection, Master Simmons.
229
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:24,054
And I do not like priests of that color!
230
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:26,893
They give the Church a bad name.
Take him away.
231
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:34,703
How far is this gone, my Lord?
232
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:40,740
When the frogs croak, my dear Fox, do not
imagine that they alone inhabit the pond.
233
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:45,273
The pike, below the waterline, silent, unseen,
234
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:47,911
is far more dangerous and harder to catch.
235
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,249
Lincoln.
236
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:51,516
No names, friend Fox.
237
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:57,551
But with a little care and the right bait...
that pike might be taken.
238
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:02,058
And Lovell. Have they made contact with him?
239
00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:07,562
If they found that traitor, and these papers
suggest they know of his whereabouts,
240
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,631
they know more than we do.
241
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,642
The devil will find his own.
242
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:13,701
True...
243
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:18,182
But the fact that no one has betrayed him,
not a man has come forward
244
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,650
with information concerning Lovell...
245
00:15:20,719 --> 00:15:24,746
suggests that we are confronted
with hell itself.
246
00:15:25,691 --> 00:15:30,526
We do possess a sovereign prince anointed
and approved of by the Church of God
247
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:33,258
in whose hand is the power of the law.
248
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,766
Lovell and his friends
would do well to remember that.
249
00:15:41,473 --> 00:15:44,169
- Take me to Lord Lovell.
- What should I know of his whereabouts?
250
00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:45,676
Oh, God.
251
00:15:48,747 --> 00:15:53,150
(Sighs ) This is Furness
and you are Sir Thomas Broughton.
252
00:15:53,218 --> 00:15:56,381
- I have said so!
- Then take me to Lord Francis Lovell!
253
00:15:56,455 --> 00:16:00,016
I have also told you I don't know
where Viscount Lovell is.
254
00:16:00,092 --> 00:16:03,960
Oh, God in heaven, we waste time.
I know he is here!
255
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:08,127
Sir Thomas, I have letters for him and news.
256
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:10,368
You have nothing to fear.
257
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:12,404
Who sent you?
258
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:15,440
I come from John Sante and his friends
in Oxfordshire.
259
00:16:15,507 --> 00:16:17,441
Well, this is Lancashire!
260
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:20,478
What should I know of a priest in Abingdon?
261
00:16:22,114 --> 00:16:25,208
I mentioned neither priest nor Abingdon.
262
00:16:26,018 --> 00:16:27,747
Lovell is here.
263
00:16:28,854 --> 00:16:30,685
My Lord!
264
00:16:30,756 --> 00:16:32,781
Lord Francis Lovell!
265
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:36,689
Lord Lovell?
266
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:42,332
Abingdon Bridge is falling down!
267
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:51,574
Then the Guild of Holy Crafts
must build it up again.
268
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:53,736
I was with you, my Lord, at Bosworth.
269
00:16:53,812 --> 00:16:56,076
I fought with you
for blessed Richard the King.
270
00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:59,640
- And "Holy Cross" was our battle cry.
- And shall be so again.
271
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:02,017
Christopher Swan, my Lord, of Abingdon.
272
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:05,523
- (Broughton ) My Lord Francis Viscount Lovell.
- I know.
273
00:17:06,258 --> 00:17:08,089
I did my best, my Lord.
274
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,526
It is not easy harboring an outlaw.
275
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:12,894
Well, having found the fugitive,
what have you for him?
276
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,263
From John Sante and his friends
in Oxfordshire, my Lord.
277
00:17:15,334 --> 00:17:17,461
You'll find them to some purpose.
278
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,528
- Fresh stirrings?
- Aye, most potent.
279
00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:22,039
But now urgent.
280
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:25,634
Before I left the Midlands, I heard that
one of our number has already been taken
281
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:26,871
and is now in the Tower.
282
00:17:26,945 --> 00:17:29,106
- Which one?
- Richard Simmons.
283
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:33,049
God alone knows what he said,
how much the King or his council know,
284
00:17:33,118 --> 00:17:35,951
or how far the usurper's arm has reached
to break the venture.
285
00:17:36,021 --> 00:17:38,649
If I know Henry Tudor,
he will wait until he's sure.
286
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:41,192
He has a great capacity for patience.
287
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:44,525
- That must be used for our advantage.
- We must act speedily!
288
00:17:44,596 --> 00:17:46,996
- This boy.
- Yes.
289
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:48,260
The Earl of Warwick.
290
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:50,028
(Laughs ) Oh, come now.
291
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:51,865
He is, so. To the life.
292
00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:55,304
Only if the real Earl is dead,
and who's seen him alive?
293
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:57,433
Since Bosworth, Tudor keeps him in the Tower.
294
00:17:57,509 --> 00:18:01,138
But Simmons rescued the Earl.
He saved him, proved his birth,
295
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:04,011
and showed him to us.
His claim is true, he is...
296
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:07,917
Whoever he is, if you say he is
the Earl of Warwick, Master Swan...
297
00:18:07,986 --> 00:18:10,250
- Many do.
- Then he'll serve our turn.
298
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:13,291
The name Warwick is enough,
no matter who bears it.
299
00:18:13,358 --> 00:18:15,622
- And he's out of the country?
- Aye, safe in Ireland.
300
00:18:15,694 --> 00:18:17,662
The Irish Lords to a man
have come out for him.
301
00:18:17,729 --> 00:18:20,994
Good. John Mayne has already left Ireland
and is in Flanders.
302
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:24,331
If anyone were to espouse our cause,
it'll be the Duchess Margaret.
303
00:18:24,403 --> 00:18:26,894
She'd wed the devil
to see the Welshman dead.
304
00:18:26,972 --> 00:18:29,566
- Right. You've never met her, Swan?
- No.
305
00:18:29,641 --> 00:18:32,576
Broughton has. A great charming widow.
306
00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:37,047
The last of old York's brood, and as fierce
a fighter as ever her brothers were.
307
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:40,916
She sits in Mechlin keeping open house
for the enemies of the House of Lancaster
308
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:44,444
and her greatest enemy
is Henry Tudor himself.
309
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:46,684
Oh, it'll be good to see her again.
310
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:50,421
Will you come, Swan? Oxfordshire will not be
safe if they have Abbot John and his friends.
311
00:18:50,496 --> 00:18:53,932
Safe or not, sir, I must tell Abbot John
your plans.
312
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:55,660
And I must receive further instructions.
313
00:18:55,734 --> 00:18:58,498
Well, have a care. We shall need every man.
314
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:00,834
Some more wine, Sir Thomas.
315
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:11,245
Holy Cross. And the Earl of Warwick.
316
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,978
(Both) Holy Cross. And the Earl of Warwick.
317
00:19:19,391 --> 00:19:22,519
- (Squeaking)
- An organ mender's son?
318
00:19:22,594 --> 00:19:24,789
So... (Laughs )
319
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:29,298
..they will crown apes at last!
320
00:19:31,336 --> 00:19:34,863
When will these arrogant fools
stop battering their heads together?
321
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:39,707
Opportunists and adventurers squabbling
over a prize that has already been won.
322
00:19:39,778 --> 00:19:40,870
I won it.
323
00:19:40,946 --> 00:19:44,040
It is not realized that diplomacy
has replaced brute force.
324
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,607
Power is politicians, not soldiery.
325
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:50,587
Power...may be using anything
we can lay our hands on.
326
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:52,453
To be sure,
327
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:55,550
when Almighty God
called me to this high office,
328
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:59,688
I never for a moment imagined
that I should sit secure.
329
00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:04,793
Not, that is, until every man in this realm
was convinced of my right to its crown
330
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:08,465
and acknowledged the privilege and power
invested in me...
331
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:11,167
alone.
332
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:13,639
How long have men called me king?
333
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:18,206
- Two years, your Grace.
- Yet we're still fighting for what we won then.
334
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:22,216
We will wage war forever!
335
00:20:22,287 --> 00:20:27,281
Till it dawns on Englishmen that Henry Tudor
is their master and means to remain so.
336
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:31,587
Rebels. One here,
337
00:20:31,663 --> 00:20:33,392
two there...
338
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:37,993
and the Earl of Kildare threatens a pretender?
339
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:41,039
Well, he shall learn to his hurt
that we are Lord of Ireland, too,
340
00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:42,835
and not an Oxfordshire peasant.
341
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:45,672
- What has your Grace in mind?
- What?
342
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:48,338
Brain-picking? What is in your mind?
343
00:20:49,114 --> 00:20:51,708
What is in the mind of Sir William Stanley?
344
00:20:51,783 --> 00:20:53,842
And Suffolk and Lincoln?
345
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,682
Especially Lincoln.
346
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:59,880
It's time this administration, every man jack
of it, stood up and was counted.
347
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:01,118
I can trust no one.
348
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,855
- A council.
- Yes, Fox, a council.
349
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:05,487
Here in this palace of Sheen.
350
00:21:05,564 --> 00:21:09,432
Summon every lord, knight and gentleman
who owes his bread to me.
351
00:21:09,501 --> 00:21:11,196
If necessary, summon those who don't.
352
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:13,465
Summon especially the Earl of Lincoln.
353
00:21:14,406 --> 00:21:16,033
Yes?
354
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:19,675
Is my Lord of Lincoln not still loyal?
355
00:21:19,745 --> 00:21:21,144
Your Grace.
356
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:23,044
You will do nothing.
357
00:21:24,316 --> 00:21:26,978
He is our devoted servant.
358
00:21:28,153 --> 00:21:29,984
Thank you, my Lords.
359
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:45,493
I am doing my best to trust everyone.
360
00:21:51,109 --> 00:21:52,076
(Low chatter)
361
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:02,719
The Duchess Margaret left early to hunt,
my Lord. She has been told you're here.
362
00:22:02,788 --> 00:22:04,949
I have waited too long. Too long!
363
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:08,584
Patience, my Lord.
I've brought good news from Dublin.
364
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,788
The Irish Lords. Look.
365
00:22:11,863 --> 00:22:14,297
Proclamations, even coins.
366
00:22:14,366 --> 00:22:16,391
(Margaret) Why wasn't I informed?
367
00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:20,029
High and mighty Princess Margaret,
Duchess of Burgundy.
368
00:22:20,105 --> 00:22:23,541
Where is he? Oh, Francis!
369
00:22:24,242 --> 00:22:29,202
On your feet, friend. I thought
that Tudor pirate had you by the heels.
370
00:22:29,281 --> 00:22:31,579
It was getting hard to find holes to hide in.
371
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:36,610
I can just see that face when he hears you're
away, that thin mouth tight with fury.
372
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:38,553
He'll be gnashing his teeth now.
373
00:22:38,623 --> 00:22:40,989
I hope he breaks some! Come.
374
00:22:41,059 --> 00:22:44,324
I wish I could break his thin, Welsh head.
375
00:22:44,396 --> 00:22:46,762
Well, the opportunity
is about to present itself.
376
00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:49,323
And not before time. Tell me.
377
00:22:49,401 --> 00:22:52,234
We have produced an heir
to your brother's crown.
378
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:53,965
One Earl of Warwick?
379
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:58,408
The Irish have come out for him. Kildare,
the Butlers, the Archbishop, all recognize him.
380
00:22:58,477 --> 00:23:01,674
And England. (Laughing) Oh, no.
381
00:23:01,747 --> 00:23:03,806
It's bored with earls and princes.
382
00:23:03,882 --> 00:23:07,648
England wants a king by right of blood,
not by force of bloodshed.
383
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,482
And you think you've got one?
384
00:23:09,554 --> 00:23:13,456
Well, this boy. Has he the features
of my brother Edward
385
00:23:13,525 --> 00:23:16,983
that drove women mad
and made every man follow him?
386
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:21,328
Or King Richard's ferocity? Oh, you should
have seen brother Richard in a rage.
387
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,628
I did.
388
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:24,328
Well, is he like?
389
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,803
Mayne has seen him. Have you, Lovell?
390
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:27,930
No.
391
00:23:28,006 --> 00:23:29,997
But the Irish are not fools.
392
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:34,512
Look. Coins, minted at Dublin,
with the boy's head and his device.
393
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:37,514
Now, why should the Irish Lords
commit themselves so far
394
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:40,483
if they are not convinced
the lad is your nephew?
395
00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:42,213
My nephew.
396
00:23:42,287 --> 00:23:44,881
Poor, stupid, George's son.
397
00:23:45,757 --> 00:23:47,520
Edward Plantagenet.
398
00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:52,461
I was certain that
of all my father York's brood,
399
00:23:52,531 --> 00:23:54,931
I was the last in whom the blood ran true.
400
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,729
(Mayne ) No one knows for sure, madam.
401
00:23:58,837 --> 00:24:01,965
Your ladyship understands these things
and feels them.
402
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,941
I know that we have a boy
who carries the name
403
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:07,478
and all it lacks is men, arms and money.
404
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,274
Well, let it be so.
I have the means to give him a kingdom,
405
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:18,448
but this boy will never have sufficient strength
nor courage nor style to take command.
406
00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:20,423
Who will lead you?
407
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:24,758
A boy of 14, 15 years can never hope to order
such a force as you hope to muster.
408
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:27,162
There are many captains
who will join the standard.
409
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:29,700
Lead you, Master Mayne,
in heaven's name, a leader!
410
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:33,329
- Well, my Lord Lovell here.
- No. No, I am not great enough.
411
00:24:33,939 --> 00:24:37,466
But there is one.
You have another nephew, Duchess.
412
00:24:37,542 --> 00:24:40,534
- Your sister's son.
- No.
413
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:43,103
But her son is alive.
414
00:24:43,181 --> 00:24:44,876
To me he is not.
415
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:50,545
The Earl of Lincoln is my nephew
but he is a minion of Henry Tudor's.
416
00:24:50,622 --> 00:24:52,112
He's a traitor to me.
417
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:56,354
And for what cause? He might have had
the throne of England for himself.
418
00:24:56,428 --> 00:24:58,123
What bought his hopes?
419
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:00,664
- Despair?
- Cowardice and lethargy.
420
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:03,098
Yet he is the one who can make
this insurrection good.
421
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:04,430
Lincoln must be roused.
422
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:06,664
There is blood in this.
Pride will not move him!
423
00:25:06,738 --> 00:25:09,036
Then ambition and ingratitude must.
424
00:25:09,107 --> 00:25:13,134
I don't think it will be long before
John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, is on our side.
425
00:25:13,211 --> 00:25:16,942
- But who'll bring him round?
- We have an ally who'll persuade him.
426
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,448
Who?
427
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:20,485
Henry Tudor himself.
428
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:27,115
We are on the verge of bankruptcy!
The exchequer is empty.
429
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:28,819
Are we expected to fill it?
430
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:31,055
- We will defend it.
- Most generous!
431
00:25:31,129 --> 00:25:33,495
You'll fight blind for an empty treasury.
432
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,658
We're at Your Highness' disposal to fight.
433
00:25:35,734 --> 00:25:37,998
For me, or against me?
434
00:25:38,069 --> 00:25:41,266
Er, look, nephew, if you prefer bullion to blood,
435
00:25:41,339 --> 00:25:43,899
I have little of the one
and at my age, less of the other!
436
00:25:43,975 --> 00:25:46,000
(Laughter)
437
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:50,442
Mother of God, we face a bloody insurrection!
438
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:54,281
Do you think you'll laugh it out of the kingdom,
439
00:25:54,352 --> 00:25:58,288
or would you all rather crawl
under the tyranny of the white rose,
440
00:25:58,356 --> 00:26:01,052
serve Irish savages and brigands?
441
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:05,028
To be sure, there is no army nor fleet
to keep our shores.
442
00:26:05,096 --> 00:26:07,564
Raise the levies, commandeer ships.
443
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:08,997
And pay them with what?
444
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:13,463
If your Grace pursued a friendly policy
abroad in Europe,
445
00:26:13,538 --> 00:26:17,702
the city fathers would welcome the expanding
trade and might then be forthcoming.
446
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:20,074
And the crown would never be out of pawn.
447
00:26:20,145 --> 00:26:22,705
So be it, as long as it stays on your head.
448
00:26:22,781 --> 00:26:24,942
(Suffolk) Where it rightfully belongs.
449
00:26:25,016 --> 00:26:30,420
May I take your words, my Lord of Suffolk,
as a token of your good faith?
450
00:26:30,989 --> 00:26:33,219
And do you speak for the whole country?
451
00:26:33,825 --> 00:26:35,759
Who is disloyal here, then?
452
00:26:35,827 --> 00:26:37,124
I wonder!
453
00:26:37,195 --> 00:26:38,560
Derby.
454
00:26:44,669 --> 00:26:46,728
This way, my Lord. I will announce you.
455
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:49,239
Don't bother. They all know who I am.
456
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:51,138
Even if the King's Grace doesn't.
457
00:26:51,209 --> 00:26:53,109
The Earl of Lincoln!
458
00:26:53,178 --> 00:26:55,942
So we see. My Lord.
459
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,242
You're late.
460
00:26:58,316 --> 00:27:01,308
I was delayed, your Grace.
The roads have never been worse.
461
00:27:01,386 --> 00:27:04,583
If we could maintain the peace,
we would mend them.
462
00:27:04,656 --> 00:27:06,556
As we would mend your manners, Lincoln.
463
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,058
(Chuckling)
464
00:27:08,126 --> 00:27:11,220
However, you are welcome. Take your place.
465
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,366
I was beginning to think you had business
more important than mine.
466
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:23,236
- (Whispers )
- I'm not sure yet, Father.
467
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,707
Then have a care.
468
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:27,973
The King does not like secrets
and you look as though you have secrets.
469
00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:31,777
- My Lord of Suffolk.
- Your Highness.
470
00:27:31,850 --> 00:27:33,442
This threat from Ireland.
471
00:27:33,518 --> 00:27:35,418
We shall be ready for them
when they choose to come.
472
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:39,184
So you said. Easier said than done
on an empty purse.
473
00:27:39,257 --> 00:27:42,021
The country is loyal
and will come when needed.
474
00:27:42,093 --> 00:27:45,585
They proclaim an upstart title
and many are convinced.
475
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:48,428
Pretenders and impostors
are declared excommunicate.
476
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,832
But still they rally to this Lambert Simnel.
477
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:53,632
It seems that we too
are dazzled by his audacity.
478
00:27:53,705 --> 00:27:55,764
There is but one true Earl of Warwick.
479
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,001
If Simnel is not he, then who is?
480
00:27:58,076 --> 00:27:59,737
Where is the real one?
481
00:28:00,879 --> 00:28:03,712
- He is in good hands.
- Whose?
482
00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:05,272
(Henry ) Mine!
483
00:28:05,850 --> 00:28:08,216
The Earl has apartments
in the Tower of London.
484
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:10,811
Where he will be safe, my Lord.
485
00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:15,023
So, we do possess an Earl of Warwick.
Then let us see him, meet him.
486
00:28:15,827 --> 00:28:17,556
That would create another center of dissention!
487
00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:21,463
On the contrary, Oxford - eliminate doubt,
let him be seen and dispel the dissatisfaction.
488
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:23,364
- (Man shouting)
- It would spike the rebels' guns.
489
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:26,097
And spike my Lord of Lincoln's guns too!
490
00:28:26,171 --> 00:28:28,799
- The Lady Elizabeth...
- Out of my way, you fool!
491
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,773
Here, Dorset, follow me.
492
00:28:30,842 --> 00:28:33,208
Madam Mother-in-law, you are disturbing us.
493
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:36,042
And you have disturbed me, son Henry!
494
00:28:36,114 --> 00:28:39,311
- My mother is distraught.
- Do be seated, my Lord.
495
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:44,947
Oh, yes! Do sit, do! Sit in judgment
like so many Solomons but without his wit!
496
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:47,890
(Henry ) Madam! What is the matter?
497
00:28:47,959 --> 00:28:49,620
You know well enough.
498
00:28:49,694 --> 00:28:54,097
I guess...that the matter has been decided
and agreed by our council.
499
00:28:54,165 --> 00:28:57,259
You have our order. There is nothing more
for you to discuss here.
500
00:28:57,335 --> 00:28:58,962
(Elizabeth) Then where if not here?
501
00:28:59,037 --> 00:29:01,062
(Dorset) We expect redress.
502
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:04,131
I was once the queen in this realm.
503
00:29:04,642 --> 00:29:08,908
And these gentlemen,
who had their life and liberty of me,
504
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:13,747
are now persuaded that I must lose mine
and you, son-in-law,
505
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:16,150
subscribe to my close confinement!
506
00:29:16,221 --> 00:29:20,555
Our order specifies an honorable retirement
to your convent home in Bermondsey.
507
00:29:20,625 --> 00:29:23,924
Honorable retirement! (Laughs )
508
00:29:23,995 --> 00:29:25,929
You've imprisoned me!
509
00:29:25,997 --> 00:29:27,464
(Dorset) It is not worthy, my Lords.
510
00:29:27,532 --> 00:29:31,662
The dowager queen may not be aware
of the imminent dangers facing the country.
511
00:29:31,736 --> 00:29:34,671
- Disturbances of the gravest nature.
- They are nothing to do with me.
512
00:29:34,739 --> 00:29:38,197
Nor will they be, madam, if you are
with the good monks of Bermondsey
513
00:29:38,276 --> 00:29:40,836
- for your own safety.
- For my own safety?
514
00:29:40,912 --> 00:29:44,780
I know of others who are immured
for their own safety, and where?
515
00:29:44,849 --> 00:29:47,977
That vile and bloody hole of hell, the Tower!
516
00:29:48,052 --> 00:29:49,417
You are not going to the Tower.
517
00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:53,048
No, but you can see it from Bermondsey!
518
00:29:54,092 --> 00:29:56,287
My royal sons...
519
00:29:57,162 --> 00:30:00,029
Or have you all forgotten?
520
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:03,590
..were sent to that place for their own safety.
521
00:30:04,669 --> 00:30:07,570
My babies a blessed memory,
522
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:11,473
they went to the Tower
and they never came out, not even dead!
523
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:13,170
That's enough, woman!
524
00:30:13,745 --> 00:30:16,578
You have played, madam, and lost,
in the royal game
525
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,309
and you have no stake to bid further.
526
00:30:18,383 --> 00:30:22,114
You have sons born when you were common.
527
00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:26,089
Marquis Dorset there is one.
There is no royalty in him but he is your son.
528
00:30:27,058 --> 00:30:29,526
Get comfort if you can from him.
529
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:33,360
It is our wish that you go to your
convent home in Bermondsey as we decreed.
530
00:30:33,431 --> 00:30:37,731
Marquis Dorset, conduct your mother
to her barge. Good day, madam.
531
00:30:40,205 --> 00:30:43,766
Crowns are dear in England, son-in-law.
532
00:30:45,376 --> 00:30:48,436
But heads are cheap that wear them.
533
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:59,084
She may be the Queen's mother
but she's an intolerable woman.
534
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:00,351
(Laughter)
535
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:05,419
I wonder, has Edward Earl of Warwick
suffered the fate of that lady's bastards?
536
00:31:05,496 --> 00:31:07,396
Lincoln!
537
00:31:07,465 --> 00:31:09,330
We were discussing the Earl of Warwick,
weren't we?
538
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,994
Your Highness, I must apologize for my son.
539
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:15,005
My Lord of Lincoln.
540
00:31:15,073 --> 00:31:17,007
Too many people are under the impression
541
00:31:17,075 --> 00:31:20,408
that we have been overzealous
in disposing of our enemies.
542
00:31:21,913 --> 00:31:26,577
Though I'm thinking that in some cases
we have been too lenient.
543
00:31:27,852 --> 00:31:29,717
However,
544
00:31:29,787 --> 00:31:33,223
if you think that the Earl of Warwick
has been destroyed -
545
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:37,421
this Irish impersonation appears to be based
on that assumption -
546
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:40,259
then you must be made to change your mind.
547
00:31:40,999 --> 00:31:44,025
It seems a wise course,
as well as an expedient one,
548
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:47,162
to produce the Earl
and set all minds at rest.
549
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:49,473
We are able to do so.
550
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:53,840
The convocation of our Holy Church
convenes next month at St. Paul's.
551
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:58,679
If it please your Grace, the person of the
Earl of Warwick may attend a session or two.
552
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,342
It does please us.
553
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:04,514
Let it be recorded that Edward Plantagenet,
known as the Earl of Warwick,
554
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:07,786
shall be present at Paul's
and there shown to the people.
555
00:32:07,859 --> 00:32:11,192
Publish it, and let's have no more impostors.
556
00:32:11,963 --> 00:32:14,261
Or thoughts of impostors.
557
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:19,097
(Low chatter)
558
00:32:38,656 --> 00:32:41,318
- Well?
- Simmons has made his statement.
559
00:32:41,392 --> 00:32:43,622
- Himself?
- He read his confession.
560
00:32:43,695 --> 00:32:46,220
- In full?
- Loudly and clearly.
561
00:32:47,165 --> 00:32:50,293
- And?
- The lords shuffled a bit,
562
00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:55,305
the Lord Mayor was satisfied
and the citizens of London were delighted.
563
00:32:55,373 --> 00:32:58,399
And grateful, I hope, for the experience.
564
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:05,482
Bring forth Master Simmons
and let him face the Earl of Warwick.
565
00:33:05,550 --> 00:33:07,177
We will wait.
566
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:14,856
Lambert!
567
00:33:15,927 --> 00:33:18,555
Oh... Oh, they have you too?
568
00:33:21,132 --> 00:33:24,465
Oh, you look splendid, Lambert,
569
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:26,400
in your finery.
570
00:33:28,106 --> 00:33:30,870
This, Master Simmons, is the Earl of Warwick,
571
00:33:30,942 --> 00:33:32,910
whom you would supplant.
572
00:33:33,978 --> 00:33:35,275
Really?
573
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:37,541
Greet the Earl of Warwick.
574
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:41,477
Oh, they've done us proudly.
575
00:33:42,887 --> 00:33:46,288
You look well, Lambert. Very well.
576
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:48,419
My name's Edward.
577
00:33:48,493 --> 00:33:50,154
Who are you?
578
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:58,066
(Whispers ) Very good. Keep it up.
579
00:33:59,637 --> 00:34:01,969
And when we have done,
580
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,770
I am your Archbishop of Canterbury.
581
00:34:04,842 --> 00:34:06,639
You promised.
582
00:34:06,711 --> 00:34:10,203
When they have kinged you,
don't forget your friend Simmons.
583
00:34:10,281 --> 00:34:11,942
Lambert, don't forget.
584
00:34:12,016 --> 00:34:15,008
- Enough.
- Turn him loose and let him go.
585
00:34:21,592 --> 00:34:24,857
Who was that and what does he mean?
Lambert?
586
00:34:24,929 --> 00:34:27,363
- A fool.
- And a failure, Prince.
587
00:34:27,432 --> 00:34:28,865
Don't bother your head with him.
588
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:31,595
Come, you must be presented to your peers.
589
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:33,534
My Lord of Derby, lead on.
590
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:41,606
Edward, Earl of Warwick.
591
00:34:45,183 --> 00:34:47,777
(Organ plays )
592
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:55,120
- I'll take my oath on it.
- Oh, he's Clarence's son all right.
593
00:34:55,193 --> 00:34:56,785
No doubt about it.
594
00:34:57,862 --> 00:35:01,821
I hardly knew the Earl of Warwick.
This one certainly has an air about him.
595
00:35:01,899 --> 00:35:03,662
True, of vacuous stupidity.
596
00:35:03,734 --> 00:35:09,001
My Lords, not surprising
considering he comes of York stock.
597
00:35:09,073 --> 00:35:11,337
The priest's confession was convincing enough.
598
00:35:11,409 --> 00:35:13,240
It was wrung out of him.
599
00:35:13,311 --> 00:35:15,211
The King would never touch an anointed priest.
600
00:35:15,279 --> 00:35:17,213
No, Father, but Morton would.
601
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:21,582
- What's the matter with him?
- Something is gnawing at my son's brain.
602
00:35:21,652 --> 00:35:25,782
I pray God for your sake, my Lord Suffolk,
it be not the canker of treachery.
603
00:35:31,929 --> 00:35:35,092
- Cousin, you have a fine white horse.
- A gelding, yes.
604
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:38,397
I remember. Bring him to the Tower
that I may ride him.
605
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:42,530
There's very little room in that place for riding
and he doesn't like to be confined.
606
00:35:42,607 --> 00:35:44,302
I don't either.
607
00:35:44,375 --> 00:35:46,775
Neither I think does my Lord of Lincoln.
608
00:35:46,844 --> 00:35:48,402
We'll, think about it, little cousin.
609
00:35:48,479 --> 00:35:50,970
See you do, cousin, see you do.
610
00:35:52,617 --> 00:35:54,517
Satisfied with him, my Lord?
611
00:35:54,585 --> 00:35:58,521
- Most authentic, a splendid performance.
- Good.
612
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:10,796
- Sir Thomas.
- The same, my Lord.
613
00:36:11,469 --> 00:36:14,063
- Where are my horses?
- At the inn as arranged.
614
00:36:14,138 --> 00:36:17,574
- Swan will take you there.
- Wait for us in Lancashire, Broughton.
615
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:21,134
- Without fail. When you are good and ready.
- We'll be that.
616
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,847
Cousin, can I ask you?
You knew my uncle of Gloucester well.
617
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:28,147
King Richard was my friend and my patron, yes.
618
00:36:28,219 --> 00:36:30,710
Was he the devil? Everyone says so.
619
00:36:30,788 --> 00:36:33,018
I believe him to be the devil. Was he?
620
00:36:36,127 --> 00:36:40,427
Begging your Lordship's pardon.
For my Lord of Lincoln.
621
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:44,334
It is urgent, my Lord.
622
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:47,769
You will excuse me, my Lords, I must go.
It is the King's business.
623
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:52,941
I'd swear there was nothing on that paper.
624
00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:56,639
Mother of God, we have been too mild!
625
00:36:56,714 --> 00:36:58,409
He's gone!
626
00:37:00,818 --> 00:37:06,120
The Earl of Lincoln has betrayed us
and we shall see to it that he feels our pain.
627
00:37:06,190 --> 00:37:11,127
And any of you proud men with gall enough
to try your strength against mine
628
00:37:11,195 --> 00:37:13,527
shall see how we stomach treason!
629
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:16,658
Dear heaven! If a beast you'd have me,
630
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:18,463
then a beast I'll be!
631
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:22,535
Why? Why?
632
00:37:22,607 --> 00:37:24,507
- He missed his best prospects.
- He had none.
633
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:26,338
- He had ambitions.
- Which of you has not?
634
00:37:26,410 --> 00:37:28,503
- You're all stiff with them.
- His were thwarted.
635
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:30,979
He had our trust and goodwill.
636
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:33,175
Evidently that wasn't enough for him.
637
00:37:33,951 --> 00:37:37,250
The Earl of Lincoln priced his allegiance
higher than we thought
638
00:37:37,321 --> 00:37:42,349
by aligning himself with the Simnel conspiracy,
for that is surely what he has done.
639
00:37:42,426 --> 00:37:45,418
He now demands his payment
and with interest.
640
00:37:45,496 --> 00:37:48,226
He should have suffered the full rigor
of the law after Bosworth.
641
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:50,733
He was a bad risk! We all knew it.
642
00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:53,201
- Your Grace knew it.
- It's not my way, Uncle.
643
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,796
If it possible for a man to submit
to another's rule,
644
00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:58,398
he must be given the opportunity to do so.
645
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:02,735
Holy Mother, if I destroyed
every man I did not trust,
646
00:38:02,813 --> 00:38:04,872
who feared to see me King,
647
00:38:04,949 --> 00:38:07,144
there'd be nobody left to rule.
648
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:09,586
Let him be.
649
00:38:10,788 --> 00:38:11,812
Well?
650
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:14,722
Your Highness, I can find no trace of my son.
651
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:18,990
His people have reported nothing,
his departure was obviously well planned.
652
00:38:19,764 --> 00:38:22,597
We did not expect to see you again
either, Suffolk.
653
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:26,535
I am your Grace's man.
I gave my oath at your crowning.
654
00:38:27,338 --> 00:38:29,806
I am shamed enough by what my son has done.
655
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:32,900
You abuse me the more
if you think me disloyal too.
656
00:38:35,946 --> 00:38:37,436
Well, well.
657
00:38:37,948 --> 00:38:39,472
Your Grace.
658
00:38:41,686 --> 00:38:43,517
What, then, is to be done?
659
00:38:43,587 --> 00:38:44,986
Prepare to levy war.
660
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:48,685
Those malcontents and rebels
we are certain of must be arrested,
661
00:38:48,759 --> 00:38:50,818
and the full punishment for treason
meted out to them.
662
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:53,989
No, we then drive those
we are not sure of into the rebels' camp.
663
00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:59,264
No, no, no. We will proclaim a full pardon
for all offences, even that of high treason,
664
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:01,100
to those who submit themselves now.
665
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:03,197
- A pardon?
- It's madness!
666
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:05,174
We are not strong enough to punish them.
667
00:39:05,242 --> 00:39:06,937
But if we can't effect outright action
668
00:39:07,011 --> 00:39:10,310
we can at least detach the waverers
from Lincoln's side.
669
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:12,546
Where is that wretched man?
670
00:39:12,616 --> 00:39:15,312
Presenting his credentials to the player king.
671
00:39:15,386 --> 00:39:18,514
- Not to Ireland yet.
- His aunt in Flanders, more like.
672
00:39:18,589 --> 00:39:20,648
Yes, that termagant.
673
00:39:20,725 --> 00:39:23,421
She'd sell her shriveled soul
to see me hanged.
674
00:39:23,494 --> 00:39:25,394
In that case she'll move heaven and earth
675
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:28,899
to ensure that the Earl has an army
large enough to invade us.
676
00:39:28,966 --> 00:39:33,801
And soon. Now then, if this host
is to come on us, as we think, from Flanders,
677
00:39:33,871 --> 00:39:35,600
we must look to our defenses in the east.
678
00:39:35,673 --> 00:39:38,938
Lord Derby, issue our Commission of Array
to the eastern counties.
679
00:39:39,009 --> 00:39:42,001
And in spite of the pardon,
more traitors follow Lincoln into Flanders.
680
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:46,038
Then those forces keeping the invaders out
must keep the rebels from leaving.
681
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:49,348
Warwick must be helped out of the Tower
again. Show him to the people.
682
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:52,480
A public mass through St. Paul's?
Something like that.
683
00:39:52,556 --> 00:39:56,617
Uncle, see that the beacons along the coast
are kept in constant repair and ready for us.
684
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,286
Your Highness.
685
00:39:58,362 --> 00:39:59,488
We are busy.
686
00:39:59,563 --> 00:40:02,361
I'm badly used, your Grace,
and I'm quite innocent.
687
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:04,657
What does the idiot want?
688
00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:06,635
His Grace is in council, Lord Dorset.
689
00:40:06,704 --> 00:40:08,865
I know, discussing me.
690
00:40:09,707 --> 00:40:12,198
There is no truth in all these rumors.
691
00:40:12,276 --> 00:40:14,710
I have done nothing.
692
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:18,340
What cause have I to offend the King?
None have I? Tell me.
693
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,145
You're offending him now.
694
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:22,742
Slander says I'm about to ruin the King,
bring down his government.
695
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:26,119
- And are you, Dorset?
- I? Oh, I'd sooner ruin myself.
696
00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:28,750
Perhaps you have,
as there seems to be some doubt.
697
00:40:28,826 --> 00:40:31,386
Perhaps you'd better make sure in the Tower.
Take him away.
698
00:40:31,462 --> 00:40:33,293
No! Not to the Tower!
699
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:35,662
You'll be safe from slander there, Dorset,
700
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:39,294
and I will know where to find you
when rumor makes up its mind.
701
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:43,067
- Oxford, he's your charge. See to it.
- As you please, my Lord.
702
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:46,041
You will answer for this at Judgment Day,
Lord King.
703
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,738
The Queen my mother you shamed with prison
and for being my mother's son...
704
00:40:48,813 --> 00:40:50,371
You have no cause to love us.
705
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:52,040
I am your Grace's brother!
706
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:57,247
In law. All the more reason
why you should be under lock and key.
707
00:40:57,321 --> 00:41:02,190
- Get out!
- No! Not to the Tower! I'm innocent!
708
00:41:02,259 --> 00:41:03,556
Imbecile.
709
00:41:05,963 --> 00:41:08,329
Derby, those Commissions
are to be published immediately.
710
00:41:08,399 --> 00:41:10,993
Fox, make order for the court to move.
I'll go into East Anglia myself -
711
00:41:11,068 --> 00:41:12,399
that is imperative.
712
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,938
And let us pray to God and His Holy Mother
713
00:41:15,005 --> 00:41:17,997
that the Irish keep King Lambert in Dublin,
714
00:41:18,075 --> 00:41:21,238
at least until matters
are sorted out in Flanders.
715
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:36,186
Item, a cart of John Ferret.
716
00:41:37,261 --> 00:41:43,097
Item two, bill hooks and sundry parts
of mail armor of Martin Coton.
717
00:41:43,567 --> 00:41:47,196
Item, a yoke of oxen and a short sword
of Hugh Whitney.
718
00:41:48,472 --> 00:41:52,238
- That appears to be all for now.
- A creditable list.
719
00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:57,542
The men of Berkshire will give Henry Tudor
reason enough to remember us.
720
00:41:59,984 --> 00:42:01,747
I thank you, Brother.
721
00:42:08,158 --> 00:42:10,092
Simmons.
722
00:42:11,228 --> 00:42:14,163
I never thought we'd see you again.
723
00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:18,258
- They let me go.
- Why?
724
00:42:19,336 --> 00:42:23,033
I came here... Where else was I to go?
725
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:25,439
- Alone?
- Yes.
726
00:42:25,509 --> 00:42:27,807
You're sure you weren't followed?
727
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,848
I didn't look behind.
728
00:42:38,155 --> 00:42:41,420
Now, what do they know?
729
00:42:43,994 --> 00:42:45,985
What did you tell them?
730
00:42:48,132 --> 00:42:49,997
Hm?
731
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:51,193
Everything.
732
00:42:55,339 --> 00:42:57,364
Oh, dear God in heaven.
733
00:42:58,909 --> 00:43:01,400
My nails, Father Abbot.
734
00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:05,507
Where are they?
735
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:07,847
My fingernails!
736
00:43:10,854 --> 00:43:13,379
Oh, it was no great matter to me.
737
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:18,728
They have our boy, Lambert.
738
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:23,358
They've dressed him up
and made him into a prince.
739
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:26,799
Oh, he looked splendid.
740
00:43:28,105 --> 00:43:33,566
It would have been martyrdom to have died
then and there, seeing how fine he looked.
741
00:43:33,644 --> 00:43:37,205
No, Simmons. Dear, good Simmons,
742
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:40,148
that was not the truth you saw,
that was some play-actor they gave you,
743
00:43:40,217 --> 00:43:43,948
a dressed-up nobody to betray you...
and us.
744
00:43:50,928 --> 00:43:53,089
It'll be the end of us.
745
00:43:54,999 --> 00:43:57,900
Brother Simmons,
you must rest with the Brothers.
746
00:43:57,968 --> 00:44:01,301
You can't stay here long.
As soon as you are well, you must leave.
747
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,333
You'd like to see the Earl of Warwick again?
748
00:44:07,878 --> 00:44:09,778
I saw him.
749
00:44:09,847 --> 00:44:12,782
In Ireland, Simmons, for that's where he is.
750
00:44:13,851 --> 00:44:16,820
Yes, the Prince is safe in Dublin.
751
00:44:17,454 --> 00:44:21,857
As soon as may be, you will travel there.
Be with him, be his mentor, as you were.
752
00:44:21,925 --> 00:44:25,053
You'll not fail him. He needs you.
753
00:44:27,431 --> 00:44:31,060
These are my notes of hand
for the merchants of Bruges.
754
00:44:32,136 --> 00:44:35,697
And these are bills of exchange
for those in Amsterdam.
755
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:39,704
Ah, yes.
756
00:44:39,777 --> 00:44:45,579
Two thousand German mercenaries,
which I will pay for under one Martin Schwartz.
757
00:44:45,649 --> 00:44:47,947
The jewels will be assayed
and you shall have an inventory.
758
00:44:48,018 --> 00:44:51,249
- I'd prefer cash.
- You shall have that too.
759
00:44:54,591 --> 00:44:56,923
I am glad you speak plain at last.
760
00:44:56,994 --> 00:44:58,962
You have pondered long enough.
761
00:44:59,029 --> 00:45:01,327
I fled England, I'm here.
762
00:45:01,398 --> 00:45:03,798
You saw a boy at London, at Paul's.
763
00:45:03,867 --> 00:45:06,165
He was named the Earl of Warwick.
764
00:45:06,236 --> 00:45:09,000
If that boy now lodged in the Tower
is my nephew...
765
00:45:09,073 --> 00:45:11,007
Oh, there's no question, I saw him.
766
00:45:11,075 --> 00:45:13,771
Then why have you come out
for the other in Ireland?
767
00:45:13,844 --> 00:45:17,336
On a crooked road,
a fit ass is better than a sick horse.
768
00:45:17,414 --> 00:45:20,713
Oh. You'll not mind how you ride, then.
769
00:45:21,351 --> 00:45:22,841
It'll bear me well enough.
770
00:45:24,088 --> 00:45:26,955
Common consent is cause and power enough.
771
00:45:27,024 --> 00:45:30,323
The general belief is that Warwick is in Ireland
and that's where our success lies,
772
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:32,294
not with another, languishing in the Tower.
773
00:45:32,362 --> 00:45:34,990
And after, when that boy in Ireland
has served your turn?
774
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:38,159
Served my turn?
I will make him King Edward at Westminster.
775
00:45:38,235 --> 00:45:41,762
I don't see it's in your interest
to pull one master down to set up another.
776
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:44,569
- I protest, madam, my interest...
- No, no, don't.
777
00:45:44,641 --> 00:45:49,669
You're right. A false claim in time
will fall away of itself.
778
00:45:50,848 --> 00:45:55,444
This is your chance, John.
You're Richard's heir, so be it.
779
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:59,148
Take the heritage you missed before
by what means you will.
780
00:45:59,223 --> 00:46:02,659
A way is open for you
to assume the crown of England. Take it.
781
00:46:03,894 --> 00:46:05,589
It makes no difference to me.
782
00:46:06,263 --> 00:46:09,596
All I ask is that you topple this Tudor upstart.
783
00:46:09,666 --> 00:46:11,361
Destroy him!
784
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:13,665
Send me his head if you like.
785
00:46:13,737 --> 00:46:15,796
You have the spirit of a man...
786
00:46:15,873 --> 00:46:18,034
but the malice of a woman.
787
00:46:18,108 --> 00:46:20,099
And the hopes of both.
788
00:46:21,745 --> 00:46:23,337
And fear.
789
00:46:23,413 --> 00:46:25,779
Fear for that child in the Tower.
790
00:46:26,817 --> 00:46:29,843
Perhaps he's a player king too,
791
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,549
but if he's of my blood
his life will not be worth a fig.
792
00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:38,590
The Tower is the quickest way
out of this world I know.
793
00:46:41,198 --> 00:46:42,961
God help him.
794
00:46:45,536 --> 00:46:49,495
I've never been in this room before, you know.
What's usually served here?
795
00:46:50,774 --> 00:46:53,743
It was nice to go out, and for a whole week.
796
00:46:53,811 --> 00:46:58,510
I'd not been out of the Tower for so long.
Quite a long time, really, for me.
797
00:46:58,582 --> 00:47:02,018
I saw the great Earl of Lincoln, though.
He has a fine white horse.
798
00:47:02,085 --> 00:47:04,986
He's promised to bring it here to the Tower
for me to ride.
799
00:47:05,556 --> 00:47:09,754
It'll make a change from hunting rats,
riding on Lincoln's horse.
800
00:47:11,261 --> 00:47:15,129
You're to follow me. This isn't my chamber!
I don't live here!
801
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:16,291
(Door slams )
802
00:47:16,366 --> 00:47:18,800
I'm the Earl of Warwick! Let me out!
803
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:24,136
I'm the Earl of Warwick! Let me out!
Let me out! Let me out!
804
00:47:24,186 --> 00:47:28,736
