[Bell chiming]

I must report to the Emperor
that it has not rained

in over two months.

Some say it is the hottest
summer in living memory,

which is a great inconvenience
to the 500 citizens

the King has incarcerated
on charges of heresy.

His Majesty continues to
demonstrate his perversity,

sometimes executing both Lutherans

and Catholics on the same day.

But nothing deters the King
from his amorous pursuits.

I am told he is already
secretly married

to Mistress Katherine
Howard and intends

to show her to the world tomorrow.

- Mr. Culpepper.
- Majesty.

- Lady Rochford.
- Majesty.

Katherine.

Will you not come to bed,

My Lord?

[Indistinct chattering]

[Trumpet call]

The King!

[Laughing]

- My Lady.
- Your Majesty.

Who is that talking to Chapuys?

- Norfolk's eldest son
-the Earl of Surrey.

The Earl's been away a few years,

practicing his chivalry in France.

They say he writes poetry
and runs a little wild.

Your Grace.

Excellency.

Your Grace seems
somewhat distracted.

I was just thinking of
those who are no longer here

to sup with us.
I had a moment of nostalgia

-even for my enemies.
I understand Thomas Boleyn

- died recently.
- Yes. And the only mourners

at his funeral were the
ghosts of his children.

Your Grace, Ambassador Chapuys.

Monsieur Marillac, we are
happy accept your credentials

from King Francis.
Welcome to our Court.

I come here this day to
introduce to you my new wife,

Queen Katherine.
I was first attracted to her

by a notable appearance of honour,

cleanness...

and maidenly behaviour...

It seems incredible to have
obtained such a perfect jewel

of womanhood who bears
towards me such perfect love.

A love that will not only bring
me the peace and tranquility

I desire, but may also bring forth

the desired fruits
of such a marriage.

- To Queen Katherine.
- [All]: Queen Katherine!

[Applause]

Now, let's eat! I'm starving!

[Applause continues]

Your Majesty, may I
introduce the Earl of Surrey.

We are very glad
to welcome you back

- at court, my Lord Surrey.
- Majesty.

Allow me to
introduce my new wife.

- And my niece, I believe.
- My Lord.

Sorry.

Majesty.

So, you are the new
French ambassador.

Tell me, Monsieur Marillac:
what did your King really say

when you told him His Majesty
had got rid of his last Queen?

Well, he didn't say much.

He just sighed very deeply
and then he said: "Ah!"

Would you like to dance?

Go on.

Wait. Charles.

- [Applause]
- Bravo!

[Orchestra]

Monsieur Marillac.

Majesty.

Tell your master I was very
sad to hear about the death

of the Dauphin, his eldest son.

Majesty.

His Majesty would like
to propose a marriage

between his second son,
Henri, Duke of Orleans,

and your daughter, the Lady Mary.

How often it comes around.

- Pardon?
- Forgive me.

You're new to all of this.

Do you know how old she is?

Seventeen.

Have you told your
master about her?

What does he say?

I suppose he thinks I'm mad.

[Laughs]

Or else he's just plain jealous.

[Applause]

[Bell chiming] - Come here,
ladies!

Come and look at this!

The King sent it
to me this morning.

[Giggling]

Now, ladies...

You must promise that from now on,
as you are all sworn in,

you will all dress in the
French fashion, like me.

Do you promise?

Yes, Your Majesty!

We are more than happy
to oblige Your Majesty.

[Giggling]

Lady Rochford.

My Lady. You have a letter,
just delivered.

What is it?

Oh, nothing. Just an old friend,
Joan Bulmer.

She says that she has heard
of my "great destiny"

and will I please now
send for her to court.

She says that some
altered circumstances

have brought her "to the
utmost misery in the world

and a most wretched life."

Shall you send for her?

I shall think on it,
Lady Rochford.

Now, ladies, why don't we
try on your new dresses!

Yes, madam! [Giggling]

I'll tell you another amusing
thing about the French.

To celebrate the winter
solstice in Paris,

they build a bonfire and on the
top of it they put a barrel,

a wheel, garlands, and a basket
filled with two dozen cats

and a fox to be burned alive
for the King's pleasure!

I actually saw King Francis himself

light it with a torch
wrapped in red velvet.

Of course!

Tell me, my Lord Surrey,
after so long away,

how do you find the English court?

I find it full of mean creatures.

Many of them in the
service of His Majesty.

- Of whom do you speak?
- Those men of vile birth:

lawyers, university men,
Machiavellian intriguers

whose only desire
is the destruction

of the nobility of this country.
And I hate them all.

You mean men like the Seymours?

One cannot forget their
sister provided the King

with an heir to the throne.

And now that you've returned,
what are your ambitions?

To surpass the achievements
of my father and my grandfather.

That is a very high
ambition, my Lord.

I'm a Howard.
It is expected of me.

And always has been.
And I will not fail.

- [Man]: Any deer?
- No deer!

Majesty, you've caught nothing all day,
beyond some rabbits

and a deer,
but you're still smiling.

Have I not every reason to be happy?
You have seen the Queen.

Shouldn't the man that that woman
gives herself to always be happy?

I'd say he'd be beyond happiness, Majesty.
In a higher state altogether.

I feel almost like
a new man, Charles.

I am no longer vexed by the
things that before vexed me daily.

And even my leg is beginning to heal.
Sex is a great medicine.

Indeed. You are very fortunate.

How is your Catherine?

She is well.

Although she no longer
loves me as she once did.

- We live mostly apart.
- Take a mistress.

I would rather make her
love me again, if I could.

I want to take the
Queen on a visit soon.

I want the people to
see her as I see her.

- Majesty.
- And her kinsman, Lord Surrey.

I want to make him a cupbearer,

and give him other
tokens of our esteem.

I am sure His Lordship
will be most grateful.

No, my Lord. He will merely
see it as his birthright!

Master Culpepper! Come on, boy!

Have them flush us
out something edible!

Yes, Majesty. Beaters!

Yah! Yah!

Majesty. The Lady Mary.
[Takes a nervous breath]

Lady Mary.

Madam.

It gives me such
pleasure to meet you.

The King talks about you often.
No, all the time.

With such affection...

It is my dearest wish that you
and I may be kind and loving...

and warm to each other...

After all, Lady Mary,
you are now my stepdaughter.

I shall attend upon Your Majesty

whenever Your Majesty
chooses to invite me.

Thank you.

Will you stay a while?
My maids have made some cakes.

No, thank ywu.

I bid you a good day.

Madam.

[Clears throat]

Your old friend is here:
Miss Joan Bulmer.

Katherine!

Are you not the luckiest,

most fortunate woman
in all the world?

- Joan, I-
- Are you not pleased to see me?

Of course I'm pleased.

We used to be so close,
didn't we? You know the unfeigned love

my heart has always
borne towards you.

You are going to give me
a position, I presume?

I may. But you must understand-

Otherwise I must persist
in my wretchedness.

In my misery.

Say you will not turn me away.

[Sighs]

Do you remember when
you-know-who used to come in,

late at night... and slip into bed?

For God's sake,
be careful what you say.

But you will make me one
of your ladies, won't you?

Sweet Katherine?

My Lords, there are new reports

of disturbances in France. Sit.

There is a quarrel between
the French garrison at Ardres

and our own at Guisnes.

The French built a castle at Ardres

and then a bridge into
the Pale of Calais.

When our soldiers pulled
it down, the French

promptly rebuilt it.
Now, I mean to show these French

that I will not shy away
from battle if I am provoked!

For reasons which I am sending Tom
Seymour and the Earl of Surrey to Calais.

They will bring with
them from the garrison,

men and ordnance and they will
make a show of force before Ardres.

In which case the French must
either decide to desist...

or fight.

[All]: Aye.

[Indistinct chattering]

[All giggling]

- It's raining roses!
- My Lady.

Mr.. Thomas Culpepper is here.

Mr.. Culpepper.

Your Majesty.
The King has sent me.

Come.

Mr. Culpepper?

His Majesty wants you to
know that you will shortly

accompany him on a visit to
Sir William Paget's estates

in Berkshire for your
pastime and disport.

I am very grateful to His Majesty

and I look forward to
the visit very much.

His Majesty also wants you
to know that he has settled

Baynard's Castle on
you as your jointure.

Where is Baynard's Castle?

It is here in London,
on the north bank of the Thames,

near the Fleet Tower. You've
probably seen it from the river.

Is it that big one?

Yes. It's a very big one.

- [Giggles]
- In that case...

please tell His Majesty that I am very,
very grateful to him.

I cannot imagine owning a castle.

Majesty.

May I commend your Majesty
on taking decisive action

against the French and
for honouring my brother

with a command. I know he
will not fail in his duty...

His Majesty also desires you
to accept this gift.

Please tell His Majesty that--

That you're very,
very, very grateful.

Yes.

I do not know who to say this to,
Mr.. Culpepper.

But, when I go about,

and when I shall go with
the King on a visit,

I am...

not so used to
everyone looking at me.

And sometimes wish
they would not do.

My Lady, you must
give men leave to look,

for they will look upon you.

There is no help for it.

Your Majesty.

Lady Rochford.

[All giggling and laughing]

[Humming]

Your Majesty.

Hello, my Lady.

I love you. Kiss me.

No! He-he-he!

Please kiss me.

Well, all right then.

[Laughs]

[Both laughing]

Come here.

Oh, oh, my Lady! Oh, my Queen!

Oh, Your Majesty! [Laughing]

[Moaning softly]

I'm going away for a while.

Mr. Risley will supply
you with an itinerary.

Yes, Your Majesty.

While I'm away I intend to
call a meeting of the Council.

Every Councillor must attend or give
very good reason why he may not.

- Majesty.
- That's the agenda.

Also, while we're away I
intend for work to begin

on the improvements to the palace.

There will be a new front
along the east river,

privy lodgings for the Lady Mary,

and a banqueting house.

[Sighs deeply]

Damn this heat...

Pardon, Your Majesty?

Tell me, my Lord,
who is presently kept in the Tower?

[Sighs again]

There is Lord Grey, accused
of grave misconduct in Ireland;

Lord Lisle, the same but in Calais;
and Sir John Neville,

who led, as you may remember,
Your Majesty,

the recent disturbance in the north,
for which he has

been arraigned. Theris also
one other of high birth,

namely the queen's cousin,
Lord Dacres.

For what crime?

Your Majesty, Lord Dacres
is a young man of 23 years,

who, along with some companions,
and after a drinking bout,

set upon an old man in
a brawl and killed him.

His father and other
members of his family

have written to Your
Majesty begging you,

for the sake of his youth,
to show mercy.

The first three are to be
executed whilst I'm away.

Lord Dacres is different.

He has besmirched his noble birth

by behaving like a common criminal.

And so I intend he shall
be treated like one.

Have him dragged through
the streets to Tyburn

and there hanged in public,
for all to see.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[Sighs again]

For God's sakes,
will it ever rain?

Lady Hertford,
the Earl of Surrey, my Lady.

My Lord. How may
I be of assistance?

I rather trusted to
find the Earl here.

I am leaving presently for France.

He is a military man.
I wanted some advice.

My husband is in
council with the King.

Soneone of my acquaintance
has told me about you,

painting such a picture of
your virtues and your talents

that I thought to make
myself known to you.

I am recently returned from France

and I know intimately
so few people at court.

Well, Sir, now we are introduced.

If that is what you wanted?

I will tell my husband that
you wish to speak to him.

Thank you.

My Lady.

Sir Edward!

These shoes must be nicely put
and always carefully attended.

Yes, my Lady.

Your Majesty, the King is here!

Oh my!

Sweetheart,

there are two people come
to be introduced to you.

- Lady Bryan.
- Your Majesty.

This is my son, Prince Edward.

Come forward, child.

This is my new Queen, Katherine.

- Say hello to her.
- Hello, Your Majesty.

Oh, he's such a sweet boy!

Hello, Your Grace.

- I am so delighted to meet you.
- Thank you.

Is he well? Eating well?
How does the heat affect him?

Even though it is so hot he
must always be wrapped up

- against any sudden chills.
- He is very well and healthy,

and every care that could be taken
is taken for his better comfort.

On the other hand,
don't spoil him too much!

[Edward laughing]

Go on.

And be a good boy, do you hear?

Thank you, sir. Good day, Madam.

Welcome, Elizabeth.

This is my daughter,

the Lady Elizabeth.

Your Majesty, I am honoured
to be presented to you

and wish you every
joy and happiness.

It is also an honour for me
to meet you, Lady Elizabeth.

You are a very pretty young lady.

Thank you, Madam.

I want to give you these.

They are of not much value,
but will remind you of me.

Your Majesty is very generous.

I will always cherish it.
Your Majesty.

Carry on packing;
we depart tomorrow.

Madam.

[Bell chiming]

Now, Mr. Risley.

The death warrants,
my Lord Hertford.

My Lord.

Lord Grey.

Lord Lisle. Sir John Neville.

And Lord Dacres.

I pity him for his youth.

They say the judges wept
when they read his sentence.

God save us, Mr.
Risley, from weeping judges.

My Lord.

Did Surrey speak to
you before he left?

No. Since his return

the Earl has made it plain
to all who will listen

that he despises us as "new men."

I don't suppose that
he would deal with you?

Perhaps.

Why is it so important?

Surrey is heir to a great
title and a great fortune.

His family have royal blood.

Surely even you can see the
merits of dealing with him.

?

?

Sir William?

The Queen and I thank you for
your most lavish hospitality.

Oh, Your Majesty
is most gracious.

We are so honoured that you and
your Queen have chosen to visit us.

?

Sir Richard.

Your Majesty.
I just came from court.

We have had news from France.

Apparently, soon after I arrived,
Sir Thomas Seymour

and Lord Surrey,
as you commanded, made warlike

preparations and
showed their strength,

and afterwards made overtures
to the French governor.

Some gifts were exchanged and
the French were invited to watch

a wrestling match. And where,

until recently, nothing but war

had been talked of,
now there is no mention

but of wishing to live at peace.

Then it was all well done.

And yet, Sir Richard,
something inside me is disappointed.

It hungers for a war.

I have known its mad
excitements only once,

that was a long time ago.

Funny. You know, I actually thought

the French might
oblige me this time.

Majesty.

[Laughing]

Are you happy?

Do you have everything you want,
everything you need?

- Tell me.
- Yes, everything.

There is one thing.

What is it?

It's just that...

the Lady Mary doesn't
treat me with respect.

And I think she ought to,
don't you?

She will. Believe me.

Give her time.

All this is new to her,

but she will grow used to you.

And then she will love you.

I hope so.

Katherine, Katherine.

I'm tired. I'm very tired.

I have a long day tomorrow.

[Giggling]

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep well.

Good night, Your Majesty.

Good night, my Lady.

[Exhales deeply]

- [Giggles]
- Joan!

- What is it?
- Don't worry. I won't stay.

- I just want to talk.
- About what?

This is how it used to be.
Remember? You and me together.

I told you to mind what you say.

I'm only talking to you.

And then the two of
them would come in,

the one for you,
and the other mine.

And all that puffing and
blowing in the dark.

And you and him �?uld kiss

and hang by your bellies
like two sparrows.

There was no harm in it.

We were agreed we
were to be married.

Is that what you told the King?

Don't be stupid.

I don't need to tell
him anything about...

what happened before.

And if you talk of it
to anyone I swear I'll--

Hush. Hush. Do you suppose

I don't like being at court,
like a special person?

Then swear on your honour,
and hope to die,

that you will speak
of it to nobody,

not even any of my other ladies.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I do so swear.

Honestly.

Good. Now go back to bed.

And do you remember this?

[Giggles]

I am Queen now.

Do as I command.

[Both giggling]

[Laughing]

How very obliging of Sir William

- to open his cellar for us.
- I rather thought, Sir Edward,

- that it was you who opened it.
- Well, I was thirsty!

I still am! [Laughing]

- By God she's wanton.
- Who is?

You know very well who I mean.

Queen Katherine.
She's a little fireball.

Too hot for you, Mr. Culpepper.

- [Laughing]
- Really?

Uh-huh.

Tell me you can't imagine
her without her clothes on.

Just picture her naked body.

Those breasts.

Those thighs. That sweet
plump little arse.

Holy Jesus.

All those things
belong to the King.

I bid you gentlemen good night.

And if I were you,

I would not outstay your welcome
in Sir William's kitchen.

I can't drink enough to
banish the thoughts of her.

Tomorrow let's go out
and find something

to quench that thirst. [Cheering]

- Ya!
- Ya!

- Ho there!
- Sir, a good day.

And to you. And who are you?

The wife of the park-keeper, sir.

- And where is your husband?
- He's away at a fair, sir.

Anyone else here? Your children?

No, sir.

I had a daughter, sir, but she died.
There's no one else here.

Can I help you, sir?

You can do me a great favour,
and it will please you too.

Oh no, sir!

Do you know who I am?

A gentleman of the Privy Chamber.
I serve the King.

- Now, let's go inside.
- No!

If, as you say,
you are a gentleman,

then you would not try to
force me against my will.

You would just leave,
as I ask you to.

[Crying nervously]

- Come on!
- This way!

Around back!

Come on, little chicken!

[Laughing]

- [Woman screaming]
- Come on, boys!

- Leave me alone!
- Look at her run!

- Hey! You'll enjoy it!
- Take her!

- [Chuckling]
- Come on now. Easy.

Hold her still.

[Giggling and laughing]

[Laughing]

Who are you, there?

Mr. Roper, sir. The park-keeper.

Mr. Roper.

What on earth do you want with me?

You know very well
what I want, sir.

I want justice.
I know what you've done.

I have come to take
you to the Sheriff.

- Come, sir.
- Don't you dare touch me.

You should know your betters.

Now go back to your pigsty.

I will go, sir,

and fetch the Sheriff myself,

whose justice is better than yours!

I would rather not
trouble the Sheriff.

How much do you want
for your silence?

Come on, man.

What real harm was done?

Take a gold crown,

enough to buy a dozen pigs,
and forget the whole matter.

No, sir. For the shame
would still be there

in my wife's eyes. And in my soul.

Damn you for a fool.

I have to say I was
surprised at your invitation.

Really?

I had imagined that very little
would surprise you, my Lord.

It is true that I have
seen most things in my life.

But I find that people

can always be surprising.

I invited you here because
I want us to be friends.

What kind of friends?

Good friends.

Who wants to be cursed?

People are good when
they are afraid.

When they are not afraid...

they can be anything.

I am not afraid.

I will never be afraid.

[Women laughing and giggling]

[Continues]

[Laughing and screaming]

Katherine Howard!

Your Majesty!

[Laughing]

My Councillors are arriving.

Oh, then I'd better wash.

Yes. [Laughing]

[Girls laughing]

[Bursts out laughing]

[Girls giggling]

Gentlemen. My Lords.

[Chattering]

What is your report,
my Lord Hertford?

Your Majesty, there was
a small outbreak of plague

in the city during your absence,
which now has abated, thank God.

The building works Your Majesty
requested have all commenced.

And the executions of Lords Grey and Lisle,
of Sir John Neville

and Lord Dacres have
all been carried out

in accordance with
Your Majesty's wishes.

Sit.

My Lords.

I refer to the 500 men kept in
prison on suspicion of heresy.

It is my desire that they should
be pardoned and therefore released.

Your Majesty shows
remarkable charity.

Why should I not?
Does our Lord not commend us

to never to let mercy and
faithfulness depart from us?

How is my boy?

Prince Edward is very well,
Your Majesty.

King Francis has formally
proposed a marriage contract

between his son, Henri,
Duc of Orleans, and Lady Mary.

We do not, and cannot,

trust the intentions of King
Francis and still think he means

- to invade this realm.
- [All]: Aye.

Events at Calais were just a
preliminary exercise to test

our resolve. In which case
we must continue to look

to our coastal defences
and favour the Emperor.

Now, to the subject
of Queen Katherine.

It is my intention to settle
upon her all the lands

and manors which formerly
belonged to Jane Seymour.

Furthermore, some lands and
properties formerly in the

possession of Thomas Cromwell
are also to be settled upon her.

Her badges and emblems are
to be set up in all palaces,

replacing all others,
and henceforth she is in all ways

to be treated as the
Queen of England.

[Moaning softly]

Hush!

What is it?

Listen.

Can you hear that?

It's... It's raining!

It's raining!

[Laughing]

Katherine. Katherine!
Where are you going?

It's raining! Henry! Henry,
it's raining!
