Series overview

Episode list

Season 1 (2007)

is the young and virile king of England, one of the most powerful nations in the world, and seems to have it all. However, he is troubled by religious unrest in his own kingdom, as well as political struggles and changing allegiances with other countries. And weighing most on his mind is his failure thus far to produce a male heir with his Queen, Katherine of Aragon; so far their only child is the young Princess Mary, on whom he dotes. The aunt of the powerful Spanish king & Holy Roman Emperor Charles, Katherine is all that a Queen should be, and popular, but the difficult pursuit of a divorce approved by the Pope becomes a seductive option- especially when he encounters the beautiful, bold and intelligent Anne Boleyn.
