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!
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

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?
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 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?
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 ♪

Will!
Well, there was a chick...
...who had a fit and ran right round the room!
The hunter stuck him with his horn

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!
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!
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?
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!
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
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?
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"?
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! 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!

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
Do you love me?
Do you love me, Kit?
I've loved my King
That's not what I asked
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
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
