In a rotten, blood-soaked island Kingdom,

cursed by plague and riven by religious unrest,

there once was a queen by the name of Katherine Parr.

She was the sixth wife of an angry and ailing king.

Of the wives that had gone before,

two were cast out.

One died in childbirth.

And two more had their heads struck from their bodies,

on the King's order.

Twice a widow but yet to conceive a child herself,

Queen Katherine gathered the other wives' children

around her and loved us as her own.

She was the only mother I have ever known.

This one needs your signature.

The Queen dreamed of a land free from tyranny.

She believed she could steer the Kingdom to the light.

And when the King went to war across the sea,

Queen Katherine was made regent.

For a moment, it was as though a great weight had lifted

and a new dawn was approaching.

Katherine, the horses are ready.

Thank you.

She was seen near the shrine

to the Virgin Mary yesterday.

The one on Goyt's Lane.

She can't be far from there.

How far is it?

It's about a two-hour ride.

Ellen, where are the hoods?

They're here, look.

This should fit you, Katherine.

Leave that, Dot. We must hurry.

Your Majesty?

Only women are allowed at the shrine.

But, Your Majesty, we must escort you.

You can't go on your own.

We'll be back before dusk.

Here, take the horse.

Ten years ago,

our King cast off the chains of Rome.

He said, "Rid yourselves of the Pope's Latin,

here is a Bible in your own language."

And with this act, our King freed us.

Now, peasant and pauper, soldier and merchant,

man and woman,

could understand what the priests chanted at us.

Does anyone know what that means?

No.

No?

But you've heard it,

you've heard it countless times in church.

Better to place your trust in the Lord

than to place your trust in princes.

Psalm 118, verse 9. That's right.

You, sir.

If the Bible is English and not Latin,

you can read it as well as any priest, could you not?

Of course you can!

Of course you can! Yes.

And you can interpret it just as well too

because we were not hearing God.

We were not hearing God in those sermons,

we were hearing the priest.

Now our bishops and our lords and our King

do not like that, do they?

Oh, no. Oh, no, they don't.

We have created an appetite

for questioning His Majesty's church, oh, no!

We have created an appetite for protest!

"Where will it end?" they cry. Where will it end.

If we may question a priest, what else will we question?

Who else?

Everything.

Anyone.

Last year, the King and his men

once again banned the English Bible,

forcing us to obey diktats

in a tongue we do not understand,

but they cannot dam the river now.

It is not for those above us to tell us what to believe!

Hear, hear! Hear, hear!

Listen to me, now. It is too late for words,

for petitions.

For gentle persuasion.

We...

We must rise up and take what is ours.

Yes!

Revolution is upon us!

Yes!

The King will be with us or we will go without him!

Yes!

We shouldn't be here, should we?

No, that was treason.

Your Highness, we must go.

Who's the one to follow?

If you cannot read, we will teach you!

Join us!

What are you doing here?

I heard you were close.

I had to see you.

Seven years.

Seven years?

Look, I brought you something.

He let you publish under your own name?

It might not be as radical as you want it to be,

but it's my writing.

It's what I believe...

and every princess

in every court in Europe has read it.

Oh?

Well, if it's good enough for princesses...

Come.

I thought you came to hear me speak.

To hear treason against my husband?

Oh, your husband?

The killer you were forced to marry?

What, do you love him now?

He has never laid a finger on me.

I've lasted longer than any of his wives since his first.

He's changed, he listens to me.

He's allowing me to educate Edward and Elizabeth

in the new faith.

They're the future, Anne.

He's made me regent whilst he's in France.

He puts his wife on the throne

so that a man cannot take it when he is gone.

Have you been allowed to do anything

but sign household bills?

His confidence in your weakness

is what keeps you safe. Nev...

Never in my life

did I think you would stand here

and tell me the King just needs to "listen."

Whose side are you on?

I believe that I was chosen.

By God, to change the King's mind.

Kit.

Do you think that is all God planned for you?

Edward, what are you doing up?

I'm bored, Mama.

I want to go back to Hampton Court.

I know. I know.

But right now, God is testing us.

He sent us the plague as a proof of our sin,

and that's why we're here.

Let me see.

"He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

"he was crucified, died, and buried.

He descended into hell."

You chose the word "hell"?

It's a straight translation from Matthew.

Yes, but it doesn't say "hell."

It says "Hades."

Which means the underworld.

It is the very same thing.

Mm-hmm.

But is that the only meaning?

Uncle Thomas! Edward!

My Prince, you're so big!

...can mean the devil.

How are you? I'm bored.

Yes, and in Greek it means "the unseen."

Think about which one is the most rich in expression.

Elizabeth, you have an exceptional mind.

Use it for more than simple translations.

Did you really go to that shrine?

Why would I have gone elsewhere?

Finish that, please.

We found Anne close to the shrine.

And?

She was preaching to a large group.

Her following is growing.

So what?

She's gonna overthrow the Church?

She can't be serious.

I've never known her not to be.

Is she going to overthrow the King too?

Of course not.

Well, she survived this long.

The way she spoke...

it excited me.

And nobody knows except me.

And your brother?

Well, Edward believes what we believe.

I must return to Antwerp.

I really can't stand it here,

it's so backward and cold.

Well, I've heard there might be a match for you there.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe. Mm-hmm.

Her father doesn't like me, though.

Oh?

But she does.

And what about you?

What does it matter what I feel?

Hmm?

I never had what I truly wanted.

Neither did I.

Does the King know you're teaching his daughter

that she can translate the Bible as she sees fit?

You know, uh,

Henry trusts me.

He trusts you, does he? Mm-hmm. He does.

Your Majesty.

Remember we have a Privy Council meeting

tomorrow morning. Your Majesty.

Katherine, you mustn't speak with Anne Askew again.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Let's commence with the war.

The King needs more troops for his French campaign.

I suggest we start recruiting as of next week.

Four thousand men, mercenaries if necessary.

It will be expensive.

Then we'll raise the taxes...

...if needed.

The nobles will not like that.

There is enough trouble in the country,

do we need to cause more reason for revolt?

My Lord Edward,

can't you Seymours just cooperate for once?

The nobles will do what is asked of them.

The King will value their sacrifice.

Then we are agreed.

So if the Queen would turn her mind

to domestic matters,

there are reports that the plague

has followed us to Derbyshire.

Yes, there are too many who came with us from London.

Anyone who's not essential must return to their estates.

We cannot have the King return

to a plague infested palace.

Indeed, the risk is too great.

Good.

My apologies, Your Highness.

Uh, if you'll excuse me. Before you leave,

I would like to propose a new commission

to explore the consequences

of having allowed the commoners

to hear the Bible in their own tongue.

Your Highness, you cannot mean

to reignite that debate, please.

Though it is true that the country is

of two minds in this matter.

And the King welcomes informed debate, Bishop Gardiner.

The King left strict instructions

that no major religious policy is to be enacted

whilst he is in France.

And you know that very well, Lord Seymour.

I know you fear anarchy, Bishop.

So do I.

But I also believe that the short time

that the commoners were allowed to hear the Bible in English

may have in fact strengthened and deepened their devotion.

Oh, God's sake.

To Henry, to God.

Hear, hear.

The King will be back earlier than expected.

Well, if you'll excuse me, Your Highness.

Your Majesty.

We need to warn Anne. She must get away from here.

The horses are being prepared.

They'll be ready in a minute.

Here are the books you asked for.

Did anyone see you? No.

Do you want me to keep it for you?

No.

I won't be searched.

Please be careful.

...to make their bodies useful,

to make their lives worthwhile!

We refuse to be taken for fools!

Let us pray, come.

-Praise the Lord! -Praise the Lord!

You have to leave.

Henry's on his way back.

If they find you here preaching, they will burn you!

And so be it. Do you hear me?

I will not hide. I will not hide!

I can see that you're not well.

I'm fine, Kit. I'm fine.

This is what people look like

when they sleep in hard beds and eat hard food.

I'm going further north,

where your husband allows the Catholic lords

to punish people for speaking in their own language.

Good people.

Friends killed for preaching in towns and villages

what you just play at in the palace.

I will not waste my chance as you are wasting yours.

What would you have me do?

I would have you pull his head from his neck.

I would have you bloodied,

your pretty dress ripped, hands calloused,

covered in mud over his dead body.

You're not being serious.

No, I know what you are capable of.

You have to go. You have to leave.

Do you hear me?

Do you remember we cried for hours

the night of your first wedding?

You have to go.

Henry will be looking for heretics in every corner.

I can't.

They're chopping people's heads off,

burning people, hear what I'm telling you?

They're burning people.

Come here.

Kit.

Sell it.

That will keep you through the winter.

No.

Take it.

I can't. Take it.

Hmm.

I heard her speak this morning.

A new woman passing pamphlets out.

I got one in English!

Oh, I felt fellowship, I felt faith.

"And out of it,

"a young lady to come was seen.

"Of winsomest mien, of stature fine and thin,

"and bright as though a moon

"of the fourteenth night she had been,

"or the sun raining lively sheen.

"She rose like the morn

as she shone through the night..."

The Great Hall looks beautiful.

The tables have been set, the flowers arranged.

And was it aired? It needs to be aired before.

It has all been taken care of.

Van Wilder's musicians are setting up downstairs.

Right.

And what about the new piece?

They've managed it, been rehearsing all night.

Good.

Oh, merde!

Oh, he's here! He's early!

Oh! Oh, no!

Gather everyone.

His Majesty will be retiring to his chambers,

he asks that you meet him there.

He does not want any feasts or celebration.

Missed you.

You're back earlier than expected.

Mm.

I'm happy to see you.

You didn't want the feast...

These legs. ...and the music?

These legs are worse.

It's why we came home.

Couldn't get on my horse.

In front of all my men. It was humiliating.

What's that?

We brought you a gift.

We named it Carlos.

Feed it. Carlos?

You brought home the Emperor of Spain?

Mm. He's about as useful.

Feed it.

Ah, he's so gentle.

We're proud of you.

You were an excellent regent.

We thank you.

Did you enjoy it?

I wish I could have done more.

Mm, I bet.

The plague is getting worse. Mm.

Deaths are increasing in London. Yes.

I think it might be best if we postpone our journey.

Yes, yes. We're staying.

We're staying. Mm.

I'm back now.

I'm home and you don't need to worry

your little head about it anymore.

Dr. Farabi is here, Harry.

Farabi, you wretched snatch.

Your Majesty.

It is lovely to have you here back.

Oh. Such a magnificent liar.

How are we feeling?

The French damp got in and stayed.

Ten years and it still hasn't healed.

Will you allow me to take a look?

Yeah.

Harry.

Gently.

This does not look good, Your Majesty.

I'm afraid I have to clean it.

Wait.

What is this, what are you doing?

Um, it's... it's my book.

You like the new cover?

Another prayer book?

It's the same.

It's done rather well.

I have ordered a new edition, just...

making a few changes.

You published your book now.

Why must... Why must you insist on writing more?

Hmm?

You must be careful.

Always to hold the line.

Don't push too hard.

I'm God's deputy.

And won't be patron to heretics.

You understand, don't you?

This boar was the size of a wagon with four wheels,

I kid you not.

On this Ascension Day,

we welcome our daughter

and pearl...

Mary.

No, no. Get up.

Lady Jalida Marquez. Your Majesty.

You look the same as you did the day you arrived from Spain.

We remember.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Ho!

Come on, Harry. Come and play something.

No, no, no. Come on.

Oh, all right. Just one.

See?

Sing and play.

He's been practicing all morning.

This was highly unexpected.

* Pastimes with good company *

* I love And shall until I die *

* Grudge who lust But none deny *

* So God be pleased *

* Thus live will I *

* For my pastance *

* Hunt, sing and dance *

* My heart is set *

* All goodly sport *

* For my comfort *

* Who shall me let? *

Everybody.

* Youth must have Some dalliance *

* Of good Or ill some pastance *

* Company methinks them best *

* All thoughts and fancies To digest *

* For idleness Is chief mistress *

* Of vices *

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Begin.

I'd almost forgotten what it's like to be in court.

It's nice to have you back.

We must band together against the madness of these times.

We're family, after all.

This preacher woman...

Anne Askew.

Did she confess before the end?

No, she didn't break.

Oh.

She kept quoting the Bible.

She said that it speaks of equality for all men.

Will! Less.

Well, did she say anything?

Well, when she was asked if the Holy Spirit holds

a higher authority than the King,

she refused to answer.

Again and again.

Refused? Yes.

It is safe, Your Majesty.

Do you have a knife?

Yes. Misguided but...

impressive in its way.

Were there many more of them?

She was arrested with some of her followers,

a few managed to escape to the continent, apparently.

Katherine. We'll find them.

Katherine.

What are those? Uh...

Can't have heretics.

Spreading division... Blue cherries.

...dissent.

They cannot evade us much longer.

And each one we burn, well, that serves as a...

as a warning for the others, doesn't it?

The ham is excellent.

Well?

She was arrested a couple of days

after you saw her.

Some of our people are escaping to Flanders.

It can't have been her.

She was arrested, tortured and then burned

on orders of the King.

She's gentry. It's against the law.

Apparently,

she sewed paper and stuffed gunpowder into her gown

so she would burn faster.

Get up, for God's sake. Stand up.

We need to be careful.

This is becoming extremely dangerous.

Katherine, I pray no one saw you there that day.

...to our call.

It's not at all how it came earlier.

Oh, yes. I think he's over there.

Are you all right?

Ellen, are you coming?

My love, look at this beauty.

Did you do it?

Huh?

Put your hand on that reel, I baited it.

Anne Askew. Did they burn her?

What, the preacher woman?

That's Gardiner's business.

He would never do anything without asking you first.

Oh, Kit.

What's this woman to you?

She was a radical.

She deserted her husband, her children.

She was a fanatic preaching...

Her death is on your soul.

What?

What?

James! James!

Take the hawk. What? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I don't know...

I don't know what came over me.

She was a childhood... Shh.

Friend from childhood. Shh.

You confused me.

Forgive me. Shh.

Forgive me. Don't question us.

And don't speak of our soul.

Anne Askew wanted the King dead.

Is that what you want? No. No. Goodness, not.

Good.

Good.

Good. Please forgive me.

You confused me.

When was the last time you saw her?

I really don't know. It was a long time ago.

You don't...

You don't... You don't want any harm to come to me, do you?

No. No.

You don't want to hurt me? No, never.

Good.

It's me and my silly mind.

Let's begin again. Mm.

Ellen, Maud. Come.

What's this?

Is this your responsibility?

Your Majesty.

This is the King's table.

We're... We're not pigs, are we?

No, Katherine. Here, leave that.

The boy will do that.

Quickly!

The Queen has asked it to be tidy!

Leave that, that's not for you to do.

It's all right.

Quickly.

No need to help.

Here, clear that up.

I'm terribly sorry.

Let's leave, shall we?

Put that down. Oh.

-Shall we leave? -Katherine.

Katherine, let's go,

shall we? Yes.

Pray.

You've such a lively mind.

And it's led you too far.

We'll help guide you.

Pay more attention.

Louder.

Amen.

Again.

Louder.

Is my father often angry with you?

No.

It's just that the pain in his leg sometimes...

makes him a bit vulnerable.

He will kill me like he did my mother.

He would never do that to you.

I never know what he's going to do,

I never know what he's thinking.

He will never break you.

Do you hear me?

Ever.

Your Majesty,

for this evening we have the venison pie with oranges

and strawberries with beef olives.

Quieten down.

Yes, Your Majesty.

In front of you we have

goose eggs and quail eggs... Jack.

...and behind that we have pheasant and quail.

I want to eat her.

To the right we have some more pheasant and quail

with a selection of cheese at the end.

Baked apples, pork pie and a selection of fruit

including grapes, strawberries and oranges.

You have a cheese selection.

We have...

we have, uh, the civet of hare

to the right hand side of the table

as well as an array of fruit and vegetables.

And another selection of cheeses

as well as more quail and pheasant.

We also have, as I said before...

The most beautiful one...

Mm.

Fine teeth.

Ooh, fine teeth.

Mm.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Ooh. Shh.

To the right of that we have the creamed fish

and loin of veal. Turn slowly.

We have the roasted suckling pig

and obviously a selection of wines

for you to choose from.

Which one shall... This.

Of course, Your Majesty.

Allow me to test it first.

No need.

We want...

our wife to test it.

Try it.

Is it good?

It lacks a bit of salt.

Salt!

My dear, my dear!

Who's this beautiful girl?

I haven't seen her before.

Is she from London?

Are you jealous?

Are you jealous?

What's your name, darling?

Your Majesty, my name is Agnes Howard.

You have a most extraordinary voice.

Doesn't she?

Can you sing?

Stop laughing!

Of course you can.

What's your favorite song?

Il bianco e dolce cigno.

Perfect.

Go on.

Wicked.

Up here. Don't be nervous.

She's luminous, isn't she?

* Blow thy horn, hunter *

* And blow thy horn on high *

* There is a doe In yonder woods *

* In faith she will not die *

* Now blow *

* Blow thy horn, hunter *

* Now blow thy... *

Will!

Well, there was a chick...

...who had a fit and ran right round the room!

The hunter stuck him with his horn

and blew him to the moon!

* Now blow thy horn hunter *

* Now blow thy horn Jolly hunter *

* Now blow thy horn, hunter *

It's Will Summer's turn!

* Now blow thy horn Jolly hunter *

* Now blow thy horn Jolly hunter *

* Now blow thy horn Jolly hunter *

Stop!

Oh, God, I need to piss.

Poor woman.

You have food coming out of your nose.

Food coming out of her nose!

Have some more.

Please, have some more!

My leg!

Curse these legs.

Fuck! Oh, these legs.

God's sake.

Come here. Oh, these legs! Leave me!

...eight, nine and...

Stop turning! Ten!

Your mother told you

of the first Catherine's troubles?

I came with her from Alcala de Henares

and saw how his eyes lit up whenever he saw her.

Though in the end, it meant nothing.

When that other one caught his eye

he got rid of Catalina.

He ordered poisons into her food

that burned her from the inside.

Even now the smell of nightshade

reminds me of the effect on her poor body.

All swollen and red.

A horror you don't forget.

Oh, Lord, Jesus Christ,

King of Kings and son of God.

With humble hearts we beseech you,

look down upon us

and fill us with the grace of your holy spirit.

Would you like me to hear your confession?

I'm quite happy alone.

I've always been impressed by your ability

to compose your own prayers.

Just personal devotions.

And yet you believe that priests are insufficient.

Of course not.

May we walk in the path of righteousness.

Keep us from ignorance.

Fill our hearts with...

You know, even for priests, God's work is hard.

Rooting out heresy.

It's a heavy burden.

Weighs on me.

Because if I fail, then...

how many more will become infected?

How many more will have to burn?

As did your friend, Anne Askew.

We trusted you, Katherine,

with the stability of this realm, no less,

when I married you to the King.

And you make him happy, I can see that.

Hmm.

In a way that the others didn't.

You were a good choice.

And you know very well

the situation with regards to the King's health.

You sleep with him every night.

So I'm warning you,

there's absolutely no doubt

that what the radicals propose will trigger chaos.

And your playing around with the Seymours,

your flirting with the radicals...

it could endanger the stability of this realm.

But we can sort this out.

If you let your love for an old friend

cloud your judgment, even for a moment,

then confess it now

and together we will put it right.

Bishop.

What precisely are you implying?

My conscience...

is clear.

It would have been better if you'd confessed.

God will send the proof.

Oh, Lord Jesus,

instruct King Henry to obey your divine majesty.

Grant him health.

May he shine with the joy of your blessing.

Grant him strength to vanquish all his foes

and to be feared by all the enemies of his realm.

Amen.

It's been eight weeks.

Since what?

Since I bled.

Well, that's the longest you've gone.

Are you going to tell him?

It changes everything.

We must thank the Lord.

Yes.

We must.

-Careful. -Yes.

Oh! Your hand!

Out!

I've warned you. Out!

Will you allow me... Shut up!

I want Katherine to do it.

Katherine.

I want you to do it.

But, Your Majesty, this procedure...

Stop! You want me to do it?

Of course.

Careful.

Why are you laughing?

Is it funny? Why are you laughing?

I think I might be pregnant.

It!

When my brother comes,

you promise you'll love me more?

The most.

I don't want a brother.

Me neither.

Say good night. Good night, Carlos.

Which of your ladies handles the Queen's linens?

I do.

Is the Queen's blood regular?

No.

Search the trousseau. With pleasure, sir.

-No, don't touch. -Herbert!

Stop that!

Count them.

Do continue.

Morning, Kit. Morning.

Do you feel it's a boy?

I... We know of a woman in Devon.

Fetch her.

She will lay her hands on you and tell us

if it's a boy and if he's strong long before...

Long before you even show anything.

Are you done, Seymour?

There. All complete.

All clean.

Good. Leave us.

We'll be alone with my wife.

Shut up.

Take the King of Spain to our chambers.

The Queen must have peace.

Quiet.

Seymour, always...

...whispering in corridors, you noticed?

Is that so? Mm.

He thinks because his nephew is my son,

our heir,

that one day he'll be King...

in all but name.

It doesn't matter.

Mm.

Soon, you'll have another son.

Is it a boy? Is it a girl?

It's a boy!

Is it a boy?

It's a boy.

It's a boy!

You clever girl. We have a boy!

You clever girl.

James Barnham, heresy.

Nicholas Belenian, heresy.

William Boweth and William Harpin,

counterfeiting.

Adam Darnlip, treason.

Joan Edling, clipping the King's coins.

Thomas Fiennes, murder.

Margaret Pole, Henry Pole, Arthur Pole, heresy.

They will all be executed by the end of this month

in the year of our Lord 1546.

They're all guilty of crimes against our King Henry,

who, by the grace of God,

is the King of England, France, Ireland,

and Defender of the Faith.

Quiet for the King!

We have amended our will.

We name Queen Katherine

regent to our son,

Prince Edward, should he,

God forbid, be called to our throne before he is a man.

The Queen!

The Queen!

Contraband books continue to be smuggled

into the country, My Lord.

What?

These are works expressly banned by Your Majesty.

Passages from the English Bible. Thank you.

Heretical texts from the Swiss confederacy.

Zwingli and Calvin to name but two.

And fanatics have even been found

who sew pamphlets into their clothes.

Ridiculous.

They are that determined to undermine your authority

and I fear that the changes to Your Majesty's Will

may have perhaps fanned the flames.

Are you questioning our judgment, Stephen?

I merely draw attention to the implications, My Lord.

It's one thing to put a wife on the throne when you're abroad,

but it's quite another to trust a woman,

particularly one

with increasingly erroneous opinions,

with the future of this realm.

The future of this realm could well be in her tummy.

Yes, absolutely.

Let's hope so.

I... I worry only for the stability of your Kingdom.

Good.

Leave us. We're done here.

Oh, well done.

Well done! Did he really hit some?

Your hat, you do this and your hat stands still.

Misjudged it.

Huh.

How is our...

heir?

Very well.

Are you winning? Of course.

Even with these wretched legs.

Give it to me.

You called for me? Yes.

We wanted your thoughts.

That preacher you were so fond of...

Anne Askew,

has come back to bite us.

Gardiner says he has heard rumors

she was given

an enormous sum before her arrest.

One of her disciples fled with it.

It's already being used

to plot insurrection against us.

I would question why a man of his authority

would base his beliefs on rumors.

Nonetheless.

And who would give her such a large amount of money?

Who?

Who indeed?

A wealthy donor.

A noble.

Oh! Shot!

I'm sure no one would dare.

No, quite.

One would think...

They know what would happen.

We would have to have their head cut off.

I'm sure you would come up with something

much more creative.

Sometimes,

we think you know us better than we know ourself.

Not my money, I hope, you're betting with.

Individual bets, is that what was agreed? I think so.

It makes me think of the time when you danced the "green man."

And you did it with such grace.

I wish that you and I could have a dance.

Shut up. You're making it worse.

I see your friend is back.

Thomas Seymour!

Thomas Seymour!

Your Majesty.

Would you dance with the Queen?

I'm sure Her Highness wouldn't want that.

No, no, she wants to dance.

Come along.

One of Anne Askew's followers

found me in Flanders.

Apparently, you gave Anne quite a gift.

How could you take such a risk

to give her a necklace Henry gave you?

What is the point of me being Queen

if I don't have the courage of my convictions?

It's not about conviction, it's careless!

You must be more careful.

Where is the Queen?

Fetch the Queen.

Katherine! Keep him still!

Katherine!

Shut up. Shut up, you fool!

Now go. Go.

Get my drink and go.

All of you, go.

All of you!

Lock the door.

Did you enjoy your dancing?

Huh?

You know I didn't.

You look flushed.

What were you whispering to Thomas?

And what do you see when I'm on top of you?

And your eyes are closed?

Thomas or God?

You.

Mm. Mm.

You need... I think... Is this child ours?

I think you need to rest. Is this child ours?

Of course, what are you d... Of course!

Is this child ours? Of course it's your...

...child!

Are you lying? Why do you ask?

Are you lying?

Of course I'm not! Are you a liar?

Your-- Stop it! Are you a liar?

Are you a fucking liar?

No, I... I have never lied!

In the eyes of God, I've never lied to you!

It's your child!

Why should we believe you?

Why should we believe you?

What are you saying...

Are you just like all the others?

You know... You're like the others!

No, Henry, Henry! No, not now. No, not now.

No... Just... Stop it.

Get off me!

Henry, please, the child.

Henry... Stop it!

Stay there.

Stay there. Stop...

Stay there!

No! Lie still!

My leg!

My leg!

Henry?

He fell! He fell!

-Henry? -Send for a doctor!

-Farabi! -Farabi, anyone?

Quickly!

Quick. Get the door.

Oh, Lord. Please let the child be unharmed.

Just bring Edward to my rooms.

If you're gonna clean...

How long has he been like this?

-Careful. -More covers.

More!

How long as he been like this? Not long.

Will it pass?

We shall see.

Your Majesty...

Tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened. Uh...

He was complaining a lot

about his leg outside.

And, um,

today I think he had a bit too much to drink.

He collapsed. He needs to rest.

Everyone should leave.

Your Majesty?

The infection is spreading.

We must control it.

We must.

If you please, my Lord. My Lady.

Please, my Lady, he needs to rest. Come.

My Lord, please, he needs his rest.

Gardiner is going to persuade Mary

to get the King to change his Will.

-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.

Do you think that if the King somehow gained the strength

to hold a pen...

Yes?

...then he might not think too favorably

on you becoming Regent?

I'm Edward's mother

and I'm keeping a second heir inside of me.

I'm... I'm surely your best bet.

What, no, no, no.

You are his stepmother.

My sister was his mother.

Yes, but your sister is dead.

Father?

Father, what did...

What did you mean before?

Do you still want Katherine as Regent?

Whatever is written in your will I am...

I am bound by God to obey but...

We cannot let the realm slip

into the hands of the reformers.

To the Seymours.

The bishop wants me to hold the throne for Edward.

Perhaps I... I could take us back to when things...

When things were good.

With Mother, Catalina.

Catalina.

Mm-hmm.

His leg oozes with pus,

and it's filling the room with the smell of death.

How long? Two days.

Two days.

Your Majesty,

the King's awake.

Henry... Close the door.

No, no, no. No, no!

Henry?

Let me in.

James...

Please...

Mm.

How?

He's a very strong man.

No, I can't lose it.

Just stay in.

Stay in.

Just stay in!

Your Majesty...

The blood on your linens...

indicates that the child is lost.

This is fate.

I have watched my Queen, Catherine of Aragon,

and all his other wives,

surrender and fall.

This must not happen to you.

The King's wound is deep and relentless.

Eventually, the infection will take his whole body.

In a month,

perhaps much less.

Was it a boy?

Was it male?

I'm so sorry, my Lord.

We really believed...

she loved us enough to give us a spare.

Hmm.

We've been here before, haven't we?

Yes. Yes.

My Lord, I...

To remove a wife...

of whom you have grown tired

will not sit well with your enemies.

It...

It will allow them to paint you unfairly

as unstable.

They wouldn't. Would they dare?

-They wouldn't. -But, but, but, but...

Would they dare? But it would be different...

if the charge was heresy.

And what...

What harm could there be in allowing me to pursue

further investigations?

Harry, your leg. Farabi, come.

Look.

Raise it. Raise it.

Slowly. Slowly and easy.

I need Talal al-Waleed here, please.

Hold him.

Gardiner, do it.

Find your proof.

Investigate.

Oh, merde.

Would you give us a moment, Your Highness?

I'll stay.

As you wish.

That's very pretty.

Can I have a word?

I am confident...

that you two, sooner or later,

will make a full confession.

Yes?

Every heretical whisper the Queen has ever uttered.

Every illegal pamphlet she's smuggled into the palace.

What contact she had with that heretic, Anne Askew.

What money she gave.

There's nothing to confess.

Oh?

I've been the Queen's friend most of my life,

you'll never find anything to condemn her.

Have you ever considered, Bishop,

that it may be you who is in error?

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you

and persecute you and say all manner

of evil against you falsely. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

No one can deny that you can both speak

the scriptures very prettily.

But perhaps once... once this is all over

you will understand that you have no more business

with the scriptures than a pig with a saddle.

Better a pig with a saddle than an ass with a miter.

"An ass with a miter"?

Very good.

Well, I'll leave you to think about it.

But if you omit even the smallest detail,

I'll see you burned alongside your Queen.

And I'm also confident...

that were I to ask,

the King would give me permission

to question you too, Your Highness.

Anything that can connect us to Anne, find it.

Get the pamphlets.

Somebody, look under the bed.

She can't find it.

Ellen...

Here. Did you find it?

Yes, I've looked.

Under the bed! Keep looking!

Where is it?

Where is it? What?

The Luther book. Where's the Luther book?

Did you throw it in the fire?

Sit down.

Your Majesty, orders from the King.

We must remove your books.

All my books?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Stay, stay!

I have news.

You have news?

Good news.

Good news?

Mm-hmm.

My men have found the necklace.

It's on its way here from Flanders as we speak.

Once it's returned to your wardrobe,

you're in the clear. Wait, you...

You have the necklace. I have. We found it.

When is it here? Soon.

Soon you'll have it. You have it?

We found it.

It's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right, Katherine.

Tell me again,

during the King's absence,

how many times did the Queen leave the palace?

Only twice. Oh?

I swear.

She went to pray at the shrine

to the Virgin Mary on Goyt's Lane.

And you were with her the whole time?

No, sir.

No?

Well, only women are permitted.

She told you that, did she?

Yes.

And how long was it, do you imagine,

that she was out of your sight?

I don't know, three hours? Four?

"Hours"?

"Hours"?

You saw no one approach her?

No, sir. Not that I recall.

And you are certain

that the Queen never left the palace

on any other occasion?

No, no one could take a horse without me knowing,

I would know.

You never heard her speak of the name Anne Askew?

Never. What of the prisoner?

Your Majesty.

Be assured, Your Majesty, I will find evidence.

No!

Is she more vicious than all the others?

Is she more of a vicious whore than all the others?

We've been here before!

We've been here before. and we cut you down!

We cut them down!

We cut them down!

We cut them down! Didn't we?

Are you testing me? Are you testing me again?

She's the devil! She's the devil!

Well, I will cut her down!

I am God's deputy!

Do not test me!

Lord Seymour!

It's beautiful here, isn't it?

Mm.

Bishop Gardiner,

he believes

he will find proof Katherine is a radical.

What do you think?

I think that will be difficult.

Katherine is a passionate supporter of reform,

but I can't believe she would...

Her Ladies are loyal?

Well, she gives them no reason not to be.

They love her.

And what of her love for your brother?

Surely the Queen's fidelity is not in question?

The King would owe a lot to the man who could help him.

My brother Thomas is honorable.

Yours is a close family, isn't it?

They always said the Seymours ran together

like a clan of hyenas.

Come.

If you cannot be of use,

we'll send you away.

Your Majesty-- We'll send you away,

and your nephew will not see you.

Edward's our son.

He'll forget his mother's name.

Your name.

Help yourself.

Oh!

Lady Will!

* La, la, la *

So dainty, so delicate! So hairy!

Have mercy on me, God.

Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness

and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my faults,

and my sin is for ever before me.

Mark, would you take care of the luggage, please?

And check the horse, I think it needs re-shoeing.

What are you doing in here?

Have you heard?

Henry's ready to sign her death warrant.

He's demanding evidence against her,

that she betrayed him in some way or...

or she's a radical.

Now, Tom.

You know how this goes.

Because likely this will be the end for us too.

Unless...

Unless what?

He's promised...

What?

He's promised to pardon you

if you can provide love letters.

Evidence that she

betrayed him with you.

He'll kill me! No, no, no, no.

I've seen him, Tom. He's sick.

He won't last long, I've seen it.

Now, I can steer this for you and me.

But you have to give me something, Tom.

Please give me anything.

There isn't anything.

There are no letters.

Since she's been with Henry, she's kept me at arm's length!

Always!

Then we are dead.

But you just remember our nephew, young Edward.

Because when he becomes King...

we won't be there.

Ed!

Edward!

What?

There is something.

I knew it.

Oh, God.

It's a necklace.

She gave it to Anne Askew.

This is perfect!

Where's my crown?

* There were three ravens *

* Sat in a tree *

* Down de-down Hay down, hay down *

* They were as black As they might be *

* With a down... *

* Then one of them said *

* To his mate *

* Where shall we Our breakfast take?

* With a down *

* Derry, derry, derry Down, down *

* Down in yonder green... *

Henry?

How I've missed you.

No.

No more lies, Kit.

No more lies.

Your Majesty...

...Katherine Parr,

Queen of England and Ireland. Henry!

Katherine Willoughby Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk.

Ellen Calthorpe, Countess of Sussex...

Get off me. ...I arrest you

in the name of the King.

Anything in the Queen's apartments

is now and has always been the property of the Crown.

We will escort you from these rooms,

and install you in other more appropriate lodgings

until we have discovered the full scope of your crimes.

It was my duty to arrest you,

but the final decision of what to do with you

remains with the King.

Don't!

It's cold. Let's get you up, Harry.

That's it.

It's done, Harry.

You know it had to be done.

Oh, Harry.

It's done.

Onwards, hmm?

Lord, give me courage.

I don't have Anne's strength.

If I do the wrong thing, correct me...

...but please don't send me to my enemy.

Shh.

You still think of me as your enemy, don't you?

But I warned you that God would provide the proof.

Cat and Ellen are innocent.

What you want is me.

Oh, Katherine.

What do I want?

You admit that...

you met with the heretic Anne Askew,

and that you financed sedition against the King.

You will let them go. All that remains now is...

I want your word.

...to recant the dangerous heresy

that you've allowed to seduce you.

Throw yourself at the King's feet

and beg for forgiveness.

He showed precious little mercy

to his other wives, but...

he's older now.

Wiser, perhaps.

You're asking me to speak falsely.

Oh, Kat.

But I believe just as Anne did

that scripture is the highest authority.

God will never have intended for anything

to stand between him and his people.

Not a bishop, not a priest, not even a king.

Then you will burn.

Why are you so solemn?

Sing. Sing for me.

Edward, do what your father says.

Please,

I don't want to.

Sing!

Here.

When I was your age I was singing, dancing...

Sing for the King.

Sing.

What's the matter with you?

He misses his mother.

Where is she?

Are you simple? Your mother's dead.

He means Queen Katherine.

She your mother too?

And yours?

She loves us all like a mother.

Unlike you.

Take me away.

You all disgust me.

Disgusting. Take me away.

Away!

I don't want to see them any more,

don't want to look at them.

This way, quickly.

Quickly.

You must be careful how you speak.

Do you want our father to send you away?

As he did me?

As he did my mother?

Passed from prison castle to prison castle

as her limbs stiffened...

Why are you laughing?

He let her rot...

...Elise.

Do you remember the last time I saw my mother?

No? No. No.

Nor do I.

Cat!

Ellen!

Cat!

Ellen? Cat?

Cat!

Ellen!

Cat!

That's it.

Henry?

Your bath, My Lady.

It's time.

It's all right.

Come.

It's all right. Come, child.

It's cold.

Come.

Sit.

Your Majesty, please follow me.

Your Majesty,

the King...

the King will only talk to you.

What are we gonna do with you...

Kit?

That's why you brought me here...

to help you decide?

We've missed you.

We missed you so much.

Oh.

Oh.

Do you love me?

Do you love me, Kit?

I've loved my King.

That's not what I asked.

I love you.

I love you.

Do you believe in hell?

I think we're both bound for it.

No.

No, Kit.

I'm ready.

No. Are you?

No, Kit.

No, Kit.

It was in no one's interest

to question what had happened.

My father's dark heart was deemed to have stopped.

Overcome by poison from his ulcerating leg.

His death was kept secret for more than a week,

while the men around him

fought over the bones of his will.

His tomb fell to decay

and was lost for 100 years.

After my father's death,

Katherine published her most daring book of prayers.

It laid the foundations for a new faith.

Open and tolerant.

There is more than one way to scorch the earth.

She forged something in her flames...

and made way

for the tender shoots of hope to burst forth.

* I lost my heart *

* Under the bridge *

* To that little girl *

* So much to me *

* And now I moan *

* And now I holler *

* She'll never know *

* Just what I found *

* That blue-eyed girl * * That blue-eyed girl *

* She said, "No more" * * She said, "No more" *

* And that blue-eyed girl * * That blue-eyed girl *

* Became blue-eyed whore * * Became blue-eyed whore *

* Down by the water * * Down by the water *

* I took her hand * * I took her hand *

* Just like my daughter * * Just like my daughter *
