0:00:02 > 0:00:03You are a girl from the House of Lancaster,
0:00:03 > 0:00:05and you live in a country that is divided.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07You may not fall in love with a York king
0:00:07 > 0:00:10unless there is some profit in it for you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Will you marry me?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Yes.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Warwick is the Kingmaker,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21you can be very sure he will make the queen as well.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- She's my queen of choice and I... - Of choice?! Have you gone mad?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28He is a pretender. He has taken the throne by force.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32He is the king and those who speak against him are guilty of treason.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Now, let us make a son, to scotch the Lancastrian threat.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38It is an honour to meet you, Duchess Cecily.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I am not happy about this marriage.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44I could put his brother, George, upon the throne in his place.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46The King has done what he should not.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48(Elizabeth.)
0:00:48 > 0:00:50There are many who will be cursing our luck and wishing us to fall.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So, our new queen is not only Lancastrian
0:01:50 > 0:01:53but now we have half of Burgundy out in force.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Why?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Because she is related to them!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01But, Issy, we like her better than the old bad queen, don't we?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05And now we must crown her before her belly grows too fat.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Elizabeth.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Are you afraid?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Edward will help me know what to do.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39They say the whole of London will be out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Except one.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Edward's mother has refused to come.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I don't think you'll miss her.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's one less foot to trip me up!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Lord Warwick.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Is the woman dressed and ready?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57She's not made queen yet.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10My new sister.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12You're as beautiful as a queen should be.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I pray your child is a son, so he may follow my brother on his throne.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Thank you, Richard. George.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I am very grateful for your kinship.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Where...Where's Edward?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31At the Abbey.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36He is to watch the coronation from behind a screen, as is the custom.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39My daughters will escort you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41They have been trained for such occasions.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The Queen has her own sisters to attend her.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Your daughters may join in the procession behind us.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Hold your head high, Elizabeth.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56God has chosen you in this
0:03:56 > 0:04:00and your brothers and I will be with you every step of the way.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04But now, you are holding my arm too tightly and I may faint.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You may not faint because I need you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You will always be my Elizabeth.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I am so very proud of you.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Anne, you goose! Stop staring like an idiot!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21She is so beautiful.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yes, but the King should have married the French princess
0:04:24 > 0:04:25as Father had arranged.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Just play your part.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It will not be for very long.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36CROWD CHEERS
0:05:11 > 0:05:13God save the Queen!
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Elizabeth!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Elizabeth!
0:06:49 > 0:06:50That isn't mother.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51It's her, Richard.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- She's just in her coronation robes, that's all.- Oh.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28I here present unto you, Queen Elizabeth, your undoubted queen.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Wherefore, all you who are come this day
0:07:32 > 0:07:34to do your homage and service,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37are you willing to do the same?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39God save the Queen!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Let the anointing of this oil
0:07:44 > 0:07:46increase your honour
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and establish you for ever.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51God save the Queen!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00We offer up the sceptres and the ring,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02to our one and mighty queen.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04God save the Queen!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Mother!- Mother!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Oh, my boys!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Are you Queen now, Mother?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Yes, Richard. But before that, I shall always be your mother.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18May we sit with you at dinner?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19I'm sorry, not today.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23But later, I shall come and see you both to bed myself.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Queen Elizabeth?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Your court awaits.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You all look so very similar, you Rivers girls.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You look like beautiful fish!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- I'm not sure I should like to be a fish!- Hello.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54George does try to be so charming but he doesn't always get it right!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Last time we saw you, Richard,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02you fell off your horse at our father's castle, do you remember?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Our father taught King Edward and put him on the throne
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- and so now, King Edward must... - HE COUGHS
0:10:08 > 0:10:10What?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13So he did, and Edward loves him for it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17There's a seat here, Anne, if you'd like it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27TRUMPET FANFARE
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Lords and Ladies of the court,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Queen Elizabeth of England.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I did not think it would be this grand, Edward.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17It is to silence those who say that our marriage is not valid.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Who?! Who says that it is not?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Ah!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Your mother?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25The people were denied a royal wedding.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29And so we have given them
0:11:29 > 0:11:31a coronation worthy of the Lord himself.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36She does not even know how to behave!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38How would you behave if you were queen?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Not like that!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I would not whisper with the King!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I would be a queen of stone.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I would have dignity and no emotion.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50She doesn't even seem ashamed!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56..desperate for this banquet to end...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Edward, you must attend to the peace treaty with France.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I have kept it from your door this week as much as I could but,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07now that Charles of Burgundy has been befriended
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and France has been left out,
0:12:10 > 0:12:11it cannot wait.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12I will attend to it tomorrow.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15But now, cousin, feast with us,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18for we have won everything that we set out to
0:12:18 > 0:12:20and I wish to see you happy.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32How is it that I've allowed you to wear so many clothes?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I cannot think.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37What's the point of being king if I cannot keep you naked all day long?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43We shall have to change this room, Edward.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It's too odd to have Margaret of Anjou's things about us.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47(Change it as you wish.)
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Shall we be safe, you and I, upon our thrones?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55While Henry is at large, there's always a chance
0:12:55 > 0:12:58of a Lancastrian uprising to put him back on the throne.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Or his son, Edward.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05But when we have our son, we will be safe, for we will have an heir.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07And your own men, do you trust them?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Lord Warwick?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Him of all.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I know he's brusque and has found it hard to deal with our marriage
0:13:16 > 0:13:19but he will learn to love you as I do.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21(He already does.)
0:13:23 > 0:13:26You should ask his girls to be your ladies!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Make them your favourites. It will please him.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35And his agreement with France? Will you make that, too?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'll decide tomorrow...
0:13:38 > 0:13:39..because now,
0:13:41 > 0:13:42I cannot think at all.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Argh. Now what am I to do with these?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It's not as though Margaret of Anjou will return for them.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Mother!?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I never thought it would be me doing this.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I was her closest friend, when I was her lady at court.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17But these are different times.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18You are Queen of England now
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and you will never make the same mistakes that she did.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I cannot burn it or they'll strangle us for witches.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That is interesting, Baron Rivers.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Your advice may well be worth thinking about.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We are here to serve you, Your Grace.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Edward?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38We'll meet soon.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45My lord.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46I've drafted out the terms
0:14:46 > 0:14:49of England's peace treaty with France as discussed
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and the French Ambassador's confirmed
0:14:51 > 0:14:54he will be able to attend the autumn hunt, where both parties can sign.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55There's no hurry, Warwick.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59There are some other players in the game who I may speak to.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Other...?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I've invited Burgundy, as well.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You've invited the enemy of France?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10I wish for them
0:15:10 > 0:15:13to lift their restrictions on the sale of English cloth,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and they are my wife's own relatives,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17so I can hardly leave them out.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Lord Warwick?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28I know that I was not your choice of wife and queen for Edward.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32But I hope that we may join in friendship as we share love for him.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You hope for that, Your Grace?
0:15:34 > 0:15:40And also that your daughters will join my household as my ladies?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Burn her.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49We'll have no truck with a queen who thought to rule her husband
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and rule England through him.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55We've no need for scheming women.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I know your loyalty to Warwick,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but surely, if he's gone this far already, Edward...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Edward?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Your father and brothers have just told me
0:16:15 > 0:16:18that Warwick has a secret deal with the King of France.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Louis has promised him a territory
0:16:22 > 0:16:24in exchange for my alliance with France.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Now, this was once dependent upon me marrying the Princess Bona
0:16:29 > 0:16:33but now rides upon this so-called peace treaty.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So, Warwick is plotting against you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Not so much against me as...for himself.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44But he should not have kept it from me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48So I shall treaty with the side I think is most useful.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03He does not see Warwick's danger. Even now.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05He's clouded by how much he loves him.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Then you must do the thinking for him.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Warwick is against the King.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13He wants power for himself.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Now, if Edward doesn't stop him, then you must.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Because otherwise, Warwick will be king-making again.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And this time it won't be Edward's head that wears the crown.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29And then we all will be in danger.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31WHISTLING
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Come.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Come on.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Hup. Hup.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Hup.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Hup. Hup.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54APPLAUSE
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Well done, John!
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Well done, John!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07He'll have a fight on his hands against my brother, George.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09He has none of Richard's chivalry and he doesn't like to lose.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Burgundy's here, then.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25The Rivers run so deep, any man could be drowned in them.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27My own mother's been washed away.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You could do better?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Edward, the French Ambassador's feeling slighted
0:18:46 > 0:18:49in favour of Charles of Burgundy.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Oh, cheer up, Warwick.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The bigger threat is still my cousin Henry.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Lancaster will not give up their hopes for him.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59While Henry is at large, there will always be some army to support him.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02WHISTLING
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Charles has suggested a marriage between himself
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- and Margaret of York. He seems very keen.- Mother! Shhh. Not now.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Your mother is right, Elizabeth.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16We must build a powerful royal family around you
0:19:16 > 0:19:20to protect you, and marriages are the way to...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well done, George!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Good hunting, brother.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33As your prize, I shall confer on you the title...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Earl of Richmond!
0:19:37 > 0:19:38And I was hoping for your crown.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Lady Margaret Beaufort won't be happy.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Richmond is her son's title!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Yes. But he is nephew to the old King Henry.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50So, I must strip it from him.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11They have stripped my son of his title!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14They have stripped him of "The Earl of Richmond"
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- and given it to that second York boy, George.- I've been told.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You are my husband, you must get it back for him!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- It is his ancestral title through his...- Margaret.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Margaret, the Yorks rule England now,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and Edward may give the peerages to whoever he sees fit.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Is it not enough that I am not allowed to raise my child myself?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36That he must be raised by his uncle Jasper?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41He is nephew to King Henry, in line as Lancastrian heir.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43He should not be treated as though...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Look, you must not boast of this too loudly, it is the very...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49(It is the very reason why the King must keep him down.)
0:20:51 > 0:20:53His uncle Jasper would not let this happen!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57He would write to Edward and defend my poor boy!
0:20:57 > 0:20:59He would feel his pain, as I do!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I shall go to little Henry myself and explain to him about his title!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09No, it'll mean nothing to him. The boy is barely five-years-old.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It means something! It means the world.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It is all he has!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Have you eaten anything today?- No.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- You are looking very thin again. - I'm fasting.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- You cannot live on fresh air alone. - I live on prayer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30And God shall give me sustenance.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Lord Warwick?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Your daughters have not been brought to me.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I requested them for my household.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51My daughters are to wed, Your Grace, and so sadly, must decline.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53The King is aware.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Ah.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I was thinking,
0:22:08 > 0:22:09our little Annie
0:22:09 > 0:22:12should wed Viscount Bourchier.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18And little Katherine could marry the Duke of Buckingham?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Warwick has refused his daughters to me mother.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It is a snub and I do not know what I should do.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24He hates me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28But Edward still thinks we can be friends!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Then what should I do?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Accept his hate or battle through it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34You should do neither.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38You should do as Edward says and make your family strong by marriage,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40so you can weather an attack from anyone.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Now, your brother, John...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47What spells are you two weaving?
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Father!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Ah, the goddess of love is busy with her work, I see!
0:22:51 > 0:22:55There is no love in this, Richard. Only business.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57You see how Mother changed her tune?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02When she set her heart on you, the lowly squire,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05she caused quite the scandal, saying true love was enough.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It was worth it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10For I have the most beautiful lady in the kingdom.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And I the handsomest, kindest, most loving man.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Who has just been made Treasurer!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Richard!- Then Warwick's uncle has been set aside?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Edward is unhappy with him over France.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26And Anthony has Admiralty of the Fleet
0:23:26 > 0:23:30and Lionel will be Bishop as he's always wanted.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Richard!
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Yes, yes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Go and fetch the midwife.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38I think our first York prince wishes to join the world.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41That's it, come on, push.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Push-push-push.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47That's it. That's it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49SHE SCREAMS
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Good girl, shh.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55BABY CRIES
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Give him to me, Mary?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Let me hold him.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04It's a girl.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07A little girl.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Where is he? - The Queen is not ready.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Let me see him! I am king. You cannot keep me from my son.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19It's a girl, Edward.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's a girl.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Mind the head. Take the head.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38She is a beautiful girl.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41We will love her very well.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We shall have boys, Edward.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Sons and heirs.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- They shall come.- I know.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54You are so very lovely, Elizabeth. I could not do without you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS
0:25:28 > 0:25:29It's a girl!
0:25:32 > 0:25:37The Queen has had a little baby girl for Edward.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44It makes little odds that he has no heir
0:25:44 > 0:25:46when she has taken all the nobles
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and there's no-one left for ours to wed.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Ah, but...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54I have found the biggest prize of all,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56and the King
0:25:56 > 0:25:58will give me anything I want for it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24My Lady.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Stafford.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Lord Tudor.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Are you well?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29We are in fine health.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Shall we ride in?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Jasper, how is my Henry?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36He's thriving. You'll barely know him.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Henry?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Henry!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Come to your mother.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Come on, you must remember me?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Go on, Henry.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Lady Mother.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Henry, I miss you very much and I would have come sooner,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09but I have been made to live very far away from you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13It is punishment for my loyalties.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Henry, the wicked York king, has taken your title.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19But we will get it back for you. We will.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Do not fill his head with nonsense, Margaret, he will not get it back!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26He should be playing in the sun with other children,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28not cooped up here, like some invalid!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31There are no families of breeding near enough
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- for a suitable companion. - Well, perhaps little Henry
0:27:33 > 0:27:36could show me the stables and the horses while we're here?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37May I?
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Go on.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Come now. Come and see our horses. We have names for all of them.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- I expect you're a very good rider. - Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Tell me he is good to you?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Tell me that, at least.- He, er...
0:28:09 > 0:28:10I have an allowance.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13I, er...
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I buy books.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I read the Gospel. He's teaching me to read in Latin.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I missed you, Margaret.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28- More than I can tell.- Don't.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30You must not.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I've received a letter from my brother.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45My nephew is to be betrothed to the Queen's sister, Katherine,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47and we are called to London for the wedding.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The Duke of Buckingham... to a common country girl?!
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- I will not go. - You will, Margaret.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55And you will be gracious.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Your mother will be there. It will be a chance to see her, too.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05You've not seen her since we married.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Shall we?
0:29:18 > 0:29:23In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Amen.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Look at my little sister, Katherine, with her sulky new husband, the Duke.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Who would have thought so happy an occasion
0:29:49 > 0:29:52would have made so many so miserable?!
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Lord Warwick isn't even here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55So much the better.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Congratulations, Your Grace, on your first York princess.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06She is not a boy though, so you have no heir.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I shall have many more, Duchess Cecily,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10and the next one shall be a boy.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12FANFARE OUTSIDE
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Edward? What is that?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26King Henry!
0:30:26 > 0:30:31My Lords. Our one time king, Henry, and now, our prisoner.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33He was roaming the fields of Northumberland
0:30:33 > 0:30:35but I have ridden out and captured him.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- And you have brought him in! - No, Richard!
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Then let us take vengeance for our father he murdered!- You will not!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43He is an anointed king.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47And how should we be any better if we match him in his butchery?
0:30:52 > 0:30:56He is a traitor and an enemy to my rule.
0:30:57 > 0:31:03But God has brought him to us to show that my reign is just and true.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08We shall keep cousin Henry in the Tower apartments
0:31:08 > 0:31:11and show him a mercy that he denied our father.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Go in God, cousin.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I'm once again indebted to you, Warwick.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I serve you, Edward, as ever.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Might I have a word with Your Grace? - Of course.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42God bless him, poor Henry...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Warwick is up to something, Mother.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Can we ever trust him?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Girls, I have something to tell you.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- You must keep it a secret for now. Do you promise?- Yes, Lady Mother.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Your father is asking King Edward for the royal dukes,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15his brothers, to be given in marriage to the two of you.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- You will marry George. - And I shall have Richard!
0:32:22 > 0:32:24See how Anne is blushing!
0:32:24 > 0:32:26You cannot think to like him?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29He's got such funny eyes and he's so serious.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- Stop it, Issy!- She, of course, will try to stop it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36But the King will not refuse your father,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38not if he asks him to his face.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Not now, after bringing Henry in.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45And the two of you will be royal duchesses.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You will outrank the King's own mother.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I am to marry Richard.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Your Grace.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18However could they bring poor King Henry in like that?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- You must not call him "King", my love.- He is the king in the eyes of God.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23They have sinned to take his throne away from him!
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Complaining, Margaret? - Good evening to you, Lady Beauchamp.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Lady Mother. - You know my son, don't you?
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Richard Welles is Margaret's half-brother.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36He's my pride and joy.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38As my son would be if you'd let me keep him with me.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Ever the drama, Margaret. ..I see she has not changed at all.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Ladies.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Henry is my son! He is mine!
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- And you have remarried. - A man I did not want to.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00A man you forced upon me. A man I did not choose.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh, Margaret. This again.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06You are a girl, you do not choose.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08You live the life your mother chooses for you,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10or your husband does.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Then why could you not have chosen Jasper Tudor?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Oh, I've seen your puppy eyes for him
0:34:17 > 0:34:20since long before his brother withered of the plague.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Then why choose Stafford? - I thought he was a better match.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27And I do not care if you are happy.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Hello.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44There were too many commoners in there.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47And all of them want marriages.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Isn't that what you want, Isabel?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- George. - Brother.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Edward, there you are!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17So what did Lord Warwick want?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- My brothers for his girls. - For Isabel and Anne?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28I said I would think about it.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Edward?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34If Warwick's daughters are married to your brothers,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36they will share the biggest fortune in the kingdom
0:35:36 > 0:35:38and have royal blood upon both sides.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Do you imagine they will not come against you if you grant it?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Damn it, Elizabeth! Warwick is not the enemy.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45He is a friend and I have disregarded him.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48And I am resolved to sign the treaty with Burgundy against France...
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Shh.- No! And it will be two years of his life that have been wasted.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I must give him something.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Then give him something.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56But not this.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02You must show him you are your own man, and king now.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06He may not grow too powerful and come against you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13You're right.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Of course you are.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Perhaps he won't mind so much.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22He's usually happy with more land.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26I could offer him more of Wales, take it away from Jasper Tudor.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Am I so bad not even you may love me?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Tell me of your plan for me?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Tell me there is a purpose?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Give me a sign, Lord.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Tell me at least that my son may have a destiny!
0:36:59 > 0:37:01SHE SOBS
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Margaret? I've been looking for you all night.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23What have you been do...
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Come on.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32We are leaving.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04SHE GASPS
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Where's the Countess? - Your Grace.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Bring her in here! - DOOR SLAMS
0:38:33 > 0:38:35But how?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37How could he refuse you?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39He promised they would be married.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42The King has lost his mind, he's thinking with his breeches
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and all for some little country whore!
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Do you think it may be witchcraft? It could be for no other reason!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52This is what you get when you put the Devil on the throne of England.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54And now he is to sign this deal with Burgundy
0:38:54 > 0:38:56which will make me look a fool to France
0:38:56 > 0:38:59which is precisely what she wanted!
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, she will not win this! We will bide our time.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06She has no son yet.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08She will NOT win!
0:39:17 > 0:39:19What will happen to us, Issy?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Well, Father will find us someone else, I suppose.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Couldn't you marry the Prince of France?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29He's not yet married.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31What use is a Prince of France?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34We must get ourselves in the line of succession here.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Everything that has happened, Annie, is her fault.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40She has ruined our matches and...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44..we are insulted.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49She is another bad queen, just like the last one.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Tell me about the old bad queen, Issy?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59What was she like again?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07The bad queen called herself Margaret of Anjou...
0:40:09 > 0:40:15..but really she was a she-wolf and she rode at the head of an army
0:40:15 > 0:40:21of naked, wild men and everything in their path turned to ice!
0:40:21 > 0:40:27They carried the sleeping king forward in a big glass coffin,
0:40:27 > 0:40:31and while he slept the she-wolf tore apart England
0:40:31 > 0:40:33with her terrible ambition!
0:40:34 > 0:40:36She murdered our grandfather...
0:40:36 > 0:40:38SHE MOANS
0:40:38 > 0:40:41..and she tried to spear Father with a roasting spit!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49But one day, Father and King Edward
0:40:49 > 0:40:53fought a battle against her, uphill, in the snow.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56It was the bloodiest battle ever...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58SHE HISSES
0:40:58 > 0:41:02..and she lost so she blew away like a blizzard
0:41:02 > 0:41:05into the cold, cold north.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10And Edward became the king.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13"Hurrah! Hurrah!"
0:41:13 > 0:41:15And her son? The Prince of Ice?
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Ah, yes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Prince Edward is an ice boy.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22He cut off two men's heads when he was only seven years old!
0:41:26 > 0:41:28But he isn't really Henry's boy,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31because the king was always sleeping.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33So they say that his father...
0:41:35 > 0:41:37..is the Devil!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40SHE GASPS
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Thank you, Issy.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Don't worry, Annie. Father will think of something.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Father always has a plan.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13The King has chosen Burgundy
0:42:13 > 0:42:16and Warwick's secret deal with France is over.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22The King's sister, Margaret, will marry our very own cousin, Charles of Burgundy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27So Warwick is escorting Margaret to her wedding in Burgundy?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Ah, he's a nursemaid!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31THEY LAUGH
0:42:31 > 0:42:34So now he won't get his land in France.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And you, Elizabeth, must have sons.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58SHE HUMS A TUNE
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Look at your hair.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Mary? - Mother!
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Lizzie? Could you hold Mary?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11THEY LAUGH
0:43:19 > 0:43:20Your Grace!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31We shall never get there if we must stop every three minutes, girls!
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Where's Father?
0:43:34 > 0:43:38I told you, he's travelling his kingdom. We're riding to join him.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45- Elizabeth. - Father! What are you doing here?
0:43:45 > 0:43:47We are to ride with you.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50There is a rebellion, a Robin of Redesdale.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53That's a fanciful name for some petty rebel, Father.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Ed will stamp it all out in a heartbeat.
0:43:56 > 0:43:57Someone is paying the men, Elizabeth.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00They have strong, new boots and this is Warwick's country.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04- Warwick? What threat is Warwick to us now?- This is no joke, Elizabeth.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06It is certain.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08There are thousands of men-in-arms under Warwick's orders.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10He is king-making again.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Oh, Issy. You look beautiful.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Do you think George will adore me, Annie?
0:44:26 > 0:44:28The way that the King does her?
0:44:30 > 0:44:33I am sorry that Father could not get Richard for you.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36It is not him I was concerned with.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Just, I did rather want to be a duchess.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40DOOR OPENS
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Come. Let's get this done.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Annie.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Annie, please don't leave me.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06- Mother! Mother! - My boys!
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I knew that Warwick was angry
0:45:15 > 0:45:18but never did I imagine he would raise his own army against me!
0:45:18 > 0:45:20He has betrayed me!
0:45:20 > 0:45:23And so has George, for now I hear he has married Isabel
0:45:23 > 0:45:25against my clear command!
0:45:25 > 0:45:28Warwick's plan must be to put George upon the throne instead of me.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- God damn them both!- But are you sure that is what they are doing?
0:45:31 > 0:45:33I am sure of nothing!
0:45:33 > 0:45:35We have always stood shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38At the battle of Mortimer's Cross there were three suns in the sky.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Three suns!
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Everybody said it was a sign from God for me,
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Richard and George, the three Sons of York.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46So how can one brother betray the others?
0:45:46 > 0:45:48With Warwick, the man you thought of as your greatest friend.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50And who else betrays us with them, huh?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Our mother is not here, she's surely gone to attend their wedding.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55George is her darling, after all.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Why would she back George instead of you?
0:45:57 > 0:46:00The old story. Whether I am my father's son.
0:46:00 > 0:46:04Whether I am legitimate! George is saying that I am a bastard
0:46:04 > 0:46:06and that would make him the true York heir.
0:46:06 > 0:46:11- Damn him!- We will go and scotch this snakes' nest before it comes out of the ground.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Annie! Annie!
0:46:16 > 0:46:17What is it?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Was George bad to you?
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Has he hurt you?
0:46:22 > 0:46:26Yes, but no more than Mother said I should expect.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28That's not it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30It's very much worse, Annie.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35My wedding was never for me at all.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40It was a sign from Father that men should rise against the King.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- DISTANT SHOUTING - George.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Go to the city of Norwich. Be a queen. Look unconcerned.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02I just cannot bear that this is happening. You must take care.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03Please, all of you.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Father, stay safe.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Elizabeth, trust no-one.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Show them you are queen. We will be back soon.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56Your Grace.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Still no word?
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Warwick's got past our look-out.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58His army's coming to besiege us.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Ride to the protection of London.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Go, Edward! We'll stay and hold him off!
0:49:02 > 0:49:04TO ARMS!
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Quickly! Quickly, men!
0:49:37 > 0:49:39< Lord Warwick's back!
0:49:39 > 0:49:41APPROACHING HOOFBEATS
0:49:54 > 0:49:56He's done it. Father has the King!
0:50:09 > 0:50:13"Dearest wife, prepare yourself for bad news.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15"I am prisoner, held by Warwick.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21"I am unhurt but you are in very grave danger
0:50:21 > 0:50:24"as Warwick will come after you if he can.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26"Your father and brothers have escaped
0:50:26 > 0:50:28"and will be on their way to you.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30"You must hasten to London.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34"You must raise the city and arm the Tower for a siege.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37"For if George has a son, we are lost.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40"I love you with all of my heart.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43"The one and only, King of England.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45"Edward."
0:50:51 > 0:50:53- Anthony! Thank God! We must go to London!- Sister.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56- Warwick has captured Edward and he's coming after me.- Elizabeth.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- Are Father and John with you? Edward said we must go to London.- Sister!
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Our father...and John...
0:51:05 > 0:51:07..they're dead.
0:51:10 > 0:51:11- No.- They were beheaded.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15There was no charge, no trial, only the word of Warwick.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18No! Edward said... You, you all escaped!
0:51:18 > 0:51:21There was an ambush. They were waiting on the road ahead.
0:51:21 > 0:51:26No, Anthony! No, God! No! Say it's not true, Anthony!
0:51:26 > 0:51:28NO! SHE SOBS
0:51:58 > 0:52:00- Jasper!- Morning, Margaret.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02You have heard? They've snatched him!
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Like the crown from the top of the maypole.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07I do not know what they intend, but I shall write to George
0:52:07 > 0:52:11and tell him he can name his price if it will return my son his title.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13My husband must not know.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18- My Lord.- Stafford.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Take me to Henry, Jasper. I have something marvellous to tell him.
0:52:24 > 0:52:25Come.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30- My Lord.- Henry.
0:52:30 > 0:52:31Yes.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Today is a special day
0:52:41 > 0:52:43because I have something important to tell you.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45I have known this for a long time
0:52:45 > 0:52:49but I have waited until I was sure to tell you both.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56- You will be king. - Have you lost your senses, Margaret?
0:52:56 > 0:52:59God has told me in a vision, Henry.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01He said that you are His Chosen One.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07And you will be King Henry Tudor of England.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08Ignore what your mother just said, Henry,
0:53:08 > 0:53:11for it is treason and she would surely lose her head for it.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14- You had a vision? - And I have prayed upon it.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17But now, the old York poison splits their House in two
0:53:17 > 0:53:20I know God has spoken to me truly.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23I will not hear this!
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Elizabeth makes only little witches for the burning
0:53:25 > 0:53:28and perhaps the other Yorks will be as cursed.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31And when they are, we will be waiting with my boy
0:53:31 > 0:53:33for his chance upon the throne.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40God has said you will be king
0:53:40 > 0:53:43and you must hold that in your heart.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47And when you are crowned king,
0:53:47 > 0:53:49my mother will kneel to me
0:53:49 > 0:53:51and she will call me "Margaret Regina".
0:54:46 > 0:54:51ALL WEEP
0:54:58 > 0:54:59What kind of a monster is he?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04No charge, no trial, no chance for a defence?
0:55:04 > 0:55:07- It was an execution. - And I shall have his head for it!
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Warwick cannot go unpunished!
0:55:10 > 0:55:14- I cannot bear it, Mother. - Your father knew the risks.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16God knows, it wasn't his first battle.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21He sent me this before they killed him.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26He tells me to be happy,
0:55:26 > 0:55:29sends you his love.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36John is such a loss to me.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40He had his whole life ahead of him.
0:55:43 > 0:55:48When you raise a boy and he becomes a man,
0:55:48 > 0:55:51you start to believe that he is safe
0:55:51 > 0:55:54and that you are safe from heartbreak.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56I should have known.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59I have the Sight, I should have seen it.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Edward's mother will know this pain.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06She will know the loss of her son George. I swear it.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10- You have lost a son and so shall she! - What should that achieve?
0:56:12 > 0:56:15It will not bring them back. And there will be war again.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17They still have Edward!
0:56:17 > 0:56:21I must avenge my father and my brother or God knows I shall go mad!
0:56:23 > 0:56:25I've tried to do it differently.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29I tried to do what Edward asked and make them all my friends.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34But now I want them dead.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42Tear off a corner.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Write their names on it in blood.
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Heat the charm, keep it in the darkness.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Do it by the riverside on the waning moon.
0:57:42 > 0:57:47Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. I curse you.
0:57:49 > 0:57:55George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, I curse you too.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11By my will, you both shall die.
