Episode Summary

This is the story of King Henry VIII, who broke his country's links with Rome and set himself up as head of the Church of England, abolishing England's monasteries and nunneries and seizing their wealth. Meanwhile, he ran through six wives in his ambition for sons to carry on the Tudor line.''''Shakespeare was rather kind to Henry - no doubt because he was the father of England's reigning Queen, Elizabeth I.moreless

      • Cardinal Wolsey: I have touched the highest point of all my greatness, And from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting. I shall fall Like a bright exhalation in the evening, And no man see me more. Edit
      • Griffith: Men's evil manners live in brass, their virtues We write in water. Edit
      • Norfolk: Be advised; Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot That it do singe yourself. We may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at, And lose by over-running. Edit
