0:00:09 > 0:00:10It was a boy.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You've always been determined to paint him as a villain.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16He managed that well enough himself.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19You went against us, down on your knees for Warwick,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- when you thought that he would make you King.- Richard.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Will you marry me?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27If I marry you, everything I have becomes yours.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30But I will be a true husband because I love you.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I wrote to Mother to tell her about my marriage.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35She sent back a curse.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37The Queen's baby is coming early.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38He's dying, Mother.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41It's a comfort to know that they're both with God.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43No!
0:00:43 > 0:00:44SHE SOBS
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Lord Thomas Stanley.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I hope I will please you as a wife.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I will judge what I can do for your son
0:00:51 > 0:00:55and, in due course, what rewards your son can offer me.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58You will be required to take up a place in the Queen's chamber
0:00:58 > 0:01:00and, to all appearances, be a loyal
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and faithful member of the House of York.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Then I will be patient and endeavour to rise in their favour.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59KISSING
0:02:03 > 0:02:05GIGGLING
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Edward!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12GIGGLING
0:02:26 > 0:02:28A toast!
0:02:28 > 0:02:33To my Queen and wife who, even now, is upstairs, giving birth to
0:02:33 > 0:02:35another son and heir for me.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38The Queen.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39The Queen.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I can't give birth without my mother here.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I'm.. I'm afraid.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Lizzie, you'll have to, somehow. - Perhaps if...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58If you're going to tell me to pray again, I swear to you...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Some lavender from the garden, Lady Margaret?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03SHOUTS: I do not want you in here!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I think you've made that plain enough.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Why are you not with the Queen?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, she has sent me on a fool's errand.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Lavender because her mother said the scent aids birth.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Smile, Margaret. We are their friends
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and you must make her love you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33And I have tried but she will not.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35She loves only her own vanity.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I don't believe that this is the best way to celebrate
0:03:40 > 0:03:41the birth of your child.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Oh, come on, Richard. Don't be such a sour mouth!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Actually, Edward, he's right.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Half of England's already calling you a wastrel.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51This is not what we fought for.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yes, it is! Peace and plenty.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54It's exactly what we fought...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Whoring? Really? What about a legacy?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Don't you want to be remembered? - I will be remembered.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yeah, for being fat and lazy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04And what do you suggest, George?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09We take France.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Right the wrongs that mad old Henry did to this country when he lost it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Win back our honour.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18A very sudden interest in the honour of your country, George.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Could there be something in it for you?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Why not? You both have enough already.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25If we take... When we take France, you will need a Regent.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I could do that, seeing as you'll be busy being King
0:04:27 > 0:04:31and he's got ten titles as well as the whole of the North of England virtually to himself.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Have you been counting, George?
0:04:35 > 0:04:42France. Reclaim our land. Perhaps we should.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Stanley...- Your Grace.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03He may have forgotten your turn to Warwick but I have not.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And I've not forgotten that you've got Warwick Castle
0:05:07 > 0:05:11despite the fact that that title belongs to me.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You both have more than your fair share already,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so maybe it's time I started to take things.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Give me a sign that I was right in coming here.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Lady Margaret? The baby's stuck.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41We must toss the Queen in a blanket.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54SHE GROANS AND WHIMPERS IN PAIN
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's it! Nearly there!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Harder. Push! He's here. He's here, Your Grace.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Oh, it's a boy!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12My Richard. Where is his cry?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15It's all right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Why isn't he crying?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Am I cursed?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22SHE MOANS IN PAIN
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Will all my children die now?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Lady Margaret.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28It's all right, Your Grace.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Help my boy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44No!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07BABY CRIES
0:07:07 > 0:07:10He lives. He's all right, Your Grace.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13He lives. You have a son.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Thank you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Oh, you willed my boy to life. I'm sorry.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24I'm sorry.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I'm in your debt.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I only wish to serve, Your Grace.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51How's our boy?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53He is well.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56There.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02He is small but he will grow.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I am sure of it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I missed you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13But I am so happy here, Richard, away from the court.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I feel so hopeful.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Anne, I have something I must tell you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I've brought someone with me and...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh, Richard, please. Not your mother!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They told me you had had a child.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34BABY CRIES
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You didn't bring him for my blessing.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42My mother cursed me and disowned me.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Why on earth have you brought her here?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46George was planning to snatch her from the Abbey
0:08:46 > 0:08:47so he could steal her fortune.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50He thinks because he has the title Earl of Warwick that he can
0:08:50 > 0:08:53have all your mother's money to himself.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55So the King and I have acted to ensure that you
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and your sister will share it as you should.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01So to stop George snatching her, you have done so?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04You do not need to see her.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07You do not even need to know that she is here.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09She's our prisoner under guard.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I brought her here for your sake.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I tried to come and see you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47You brought me here so you can steal my fortune.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You left me on a battlefield!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I was a child, alone, in terror for my life,
0:09:57 > 0:09:58and you ran away to save yourself.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01You will release me.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It is not my will to have you here but Richard's,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08so you must accept whatever he thinks best for you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Even if I must be dead?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14What?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18It is how we resolve the problem of your mother's fortune.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The King will pass an Act of Parliament declaring she is dead.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Dead?- It is a legal term.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28It means you will inherit your half of your mother's fortune now.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Which goes immediately to him as your husband.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And Isabel gets her half as well,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34so George cannot steal it all.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Whilst I am left in purgatory or is this hell?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You should be grateful, Countess.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It is here, the Tower or the grave.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Anne, you cannot... You cannot let him do this.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55You must stand with me.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01You betrayed me, abandoned me. Richard saved me.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05My love and trust are utterly with him.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So I have "half"?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I stand there like a beggar with a bowl as my brothers
0:11:15 > 0:11:16put their crumbs in it.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's always been those two, since we were children.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Me out on my own...
0:11:26 > 0:11:27..or with my "mother".
0:11:31 > 0:11:35What can I do? How can I help you?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Please, I want to help you.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's all HER fault, the witch.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44She favours Richard and Edward, simply does what she tells him.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55But we are on your side, little Margaret and I.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03But now that Edward has his two sons and Richard has his boy,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05they think that they're untouchable.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08How wrong they are.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Because when we take back France, and when I become Regent...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25..then Edward will see what I'm really made of!
0:12:29 > 0:12:34So send out commissions and muster your men. We will take France!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36CHEERING
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Three sons of York!
0:12:38 > 0:12:39CHEERING
0:12:39 > 0:12:41And none shall divide us!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43CHEERING
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Edward, what are you doing?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Stirring up another war where you could die?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I wish to mark my reign with glory.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Richard could have honour and George will take the Regency for me.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You cannot give George such power. He will turn it against you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11He is my brother, Elizabeth.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15And fighting for a common cause will unite us.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It will tear you apart.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20If you make George French Regent, you will regret it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Is it good news?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35What, war? Well, good news if the King should fall.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But if he doesn't and he becomes King of France as well,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39he'll have so much power,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Brittany won't be in a position to stand against him.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46They would send your son home to Edward for the slaughter.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Another war.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03When Edward promised us an end to bloodshed
0:14:03 > 0:14:05and that our taxes wouldn't rise again to pay for it...
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Oh, blame his brother, George, cos he surely talked him into it.- Well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11They must have their war without me.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I fought enough when there was reason.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- I will not risk my life for this. - No, Anthony! - I'm going on a pilgrimage to Rome.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Edward needs you by his side in France. I don't trust George...
0:14:20 > 0:14:22You will not talk me out of it, Elizabeth.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31Take my advice. You've made your peace with Lady Margaret.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Do the same with George.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Lady Margaret saved my son and earned her place as his nursemaid.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41George killed our father and brother
0:14:41 > 0:14:42and now he's taking Edward into danger.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'll make my peace with George when he's dead.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It frightens me to watch you go.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I couldn't bear to lose you now.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It was my brother George's plan.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I confess, I am troubled by his sudden call to arms.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08What do you mean?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13The King has said that George may govern France...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17..and I fear that he would not stop there.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Perhaps he will be calmed now that Isabel is with child again.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And you are not?
0:15:28 > 0:15:33No, but soon. I am sure of it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36We'll have a dozen babies, as many as the Queen.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I don't mind if we don't,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42as long as I have you and my own honour.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13'Dear Jasper and Henry.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18'The men have gone to war in France against King Louis.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23'As a dutiful wife, I must pray for my husband's safe return,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26'but I live in fear of a York victory that would endanger you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32'At court, Elizabeth now rules alone.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36'She's like a king herself and glories in it wickedly.'
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Anne!
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Oh, it's so good to see you!
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Look at you!
0:16:46 > 0:16:50'God's path for me is strange indeed that I am made nursemaid to
0:16:50 > 0:16:53'her youngest boy for bringing him to life with my own hands.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57'I cannot bear to tend him
0:16:57 > 0:17:01'as he only makes me think of you, Henry, so long and far away from me.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05'Every moment that I spend here is torture.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10'I fear you have forgotten me.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16'Please write to me. I miss you.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:23How is our mother? Was she vile to you?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25She was angry.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Richard said we had to bring her
0:17:27 > 0:17:30because George was going to steal the money.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34He doesn't mean it. He's unhappy,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37especially since Elizabeth had another son
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and he is pushed even further from the throne.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The throne? I thought it was the Regency of France he wanted.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Yes, that's what I said.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56If George has something for himself, then he'll be so much happier
0:17:56 > 0:17:57and everybody wants that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Our daughter, Margaret, and I have disappointed him.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06He blames me that she's a girl,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10but once I have this son for him, he'll have his heir
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and he'll love me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Is your sister telling you her news from George in France?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I am worried about Edward.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30George writes only that he wishes our child would be a boy.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33We'd have an Edward each, then, wouldn't we?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35My mother bore 14 babies.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40So let us hope that we are as fertile as our mothers...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44..and that our York brothers will come home unharmed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Annie, she just cursed us!
0:18:52 > 0:18:53What? Don't be silly, Izzy.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57She wished we'd have the same issue as our mother, two girls!
0:18:59 > 0:19:00She just ill-wished our boys!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Could you hear what they were saying?
0:19:06 > 0:19:11She said that George wants the throne and that you cursed her.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You can't hear witchcraft in everything she says, Iz.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27She is a woman, just as we are.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28What if she isn't?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32George says that she's a witch. Father said it, too.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35What if everything is her fault?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Ever since she sent that storm that killed my poor baby boy...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Izzy, please.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44We fear her because of what our father did to hers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45We feel his sin.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The sin is hers. It is all hers!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52And now she casts her evil eye on me
0:19:52 > 0:19:57and if I can't give George a boy, it will be all her fault.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We didn't sail here to talk. We came here to overthrow Louis!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07We came to win back England's honour
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and reclaim the lands that should be ours!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11All I'm saying is that we should listen to King Louis's
0:20:11 > 0:20:13terms for peace.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15He said he would offer land,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17so perhaps we could win without bloodshed.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20He cannot offer us dignity or glory!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23And he won't make me Regent, Edward, which is what we agreed.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25We agreed on nothing, brother.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I said that I would think about it
0:20:27 > 0:20:29and yet you act as if you're entitled to it!
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Argh!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46'Dear Anne, our campaign is a farce.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48'King Louis has offered Edward terms of peace
0:20:48 > 0:20:50'and he has taken them.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52'His son is to marry Edward's daughter,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56'so she will be the next Queen of France, and lots of gold.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01'I cannot forgive him for this betrayal.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05'I have always been
0:21:05 > 0:21:08'heart and soul for my brother, Edward,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10'but now I cannot meet his eye.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16'We have become like merchants, haggling a price.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26'Worse still, George's ambition is curdling to rage as this
0:21:26 > 0:21:28'peace thwarts him most of all.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'Edward should beware him from this day.'
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Our father would cry for shame if he could see us now.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It's that whore Elizabeth's fault.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46She'd been writing to him since we left, telling him not to fight.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49She has England's high command, not Edward.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Lady Mother, Father is back from the war!
0:22:18 > 0:22:19CLAPPING
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Come on.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45You're home.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I want you upstairs. I'm tired of women!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54First let me show you what I brought you.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Stanley! Open a chest.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And for you, my Queen, Malmsey wine.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I told King Louis it was your favourite.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Richard!
0:23:19 > 0:23:23He laughed. He said I was a fool for chivalry,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25then he stuck his own nose in the trough.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Where's George?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33He has gone home already.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He railed against me for making peace with France.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Richard will come round in time...
0:23:41 > 0:23:45..but George will barely speak to me. I think you were right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48He would have come against me if I had made him Regent.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So now both of them are angry with us?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I will offer them gold from the campaign in a hope to appease them.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06So my brother shows his true colours. He is treacherous to the last...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10..but he shall get what's coming to him!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15But he didn't make you Regent, so how can you do anything?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I have made a secret deal with the King of France.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I have promised Louis Calais back for France if he will
0:24:24 > 0:24:29support me with an army to take back the English throne for myself.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33All I need is my new son and heir and Louis will support me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36And what if it's not a boy? What if it's a girl?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Or... Or he...dies?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41He won't die. Why would he die?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Because she cursed me. The witch, Elizabeth!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49She cursed me that my boys should die and she's already
0:24:49 > 0:24:52killed my first one and now she'll take this one, too.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55She cursed our sons?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58She did.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02She did. But George, please don't blame me.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03It's not my fault.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11She will not take him. I shall hire a sorcerer
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and we shall fight her fire with fire and break her hold on England.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Richard?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Richard?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27How could he do this to me?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Now Edward tries to buy my honour!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33He confuses me with my brother, George.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35He does not even know me.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Then send it back
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and show him you do not care for wealth.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The insult has been paid now.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Though everything I thought I knew has been shaken,
0:25:46 > 0:25:52perhaps there's no honour in anyone and each of us is alone.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But we are not alone because we have each other.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16You asked to see me.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20The Act that makes me dead names you a whore.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28No, the law that names me dead decrees that Richard may
0:26:28 > 0:26:30divorce you and still keep everything,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34the land, the castles, treasure, everything.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38You are just a spiteful, old...
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Oh yes, well.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Your marriage has been consummated and you've borne him a son.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46What grounds could that possibly be for divorce?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49My guess is you didn't get dispensation from the Pope.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Am I right?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58You're cousins. You would have needed it but I think Richard
0:26:58 > 0:27:01urged you marry straight away and said he would get it later.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Yes, well, that's because we...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Richard married you for my money.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10He will divorce you and take your money.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So you must leave him.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17We will overthrow the Act and we'll get my fortune back.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18We do not need men.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23They are all treacherous!
0:27:23 > 0:27:28We will manage our affairs ourselves, you and me, together.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31You are mad. You are mad.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You don't believe me. Ask your husband.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Ask him!
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Richard is right to shut you away.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Now stay in here and be dead!
0:28:04 > 0:28:05What a surprise.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The Queen has betrothed her common-born son, Thomas, to
0:28:08 > 0:28:10one of the richest girls in England!
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- She probably used enchantment. - Shut up, George.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15The marriage isn't even real. Whatever comes out of that bed
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- is only bastards. - Of course it's real!
0:28:17 > 0:28:19They are married in the eyes of God and that's what counts.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22It's just I wouldn't want anyone saying such a terrible
0:28:22 > 0:28:23thing of me.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Annie, you mustn't believe what our mother said.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Richard loves you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Besides, you shouldn't be worrying about him.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You should be worrying about the witch.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42One of her ladies told George that she has two names
0:28:42 > 0:28:45written in her locket in blood.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47She's cursed them both to die.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48What names?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52He doesn't know. What if they're ours?
0:28:56 > 0:29:01George says that she'll kill us all with her cursing, so he has
0:29:01 > 0:29:05commissioned special charms to be made that will protect us.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Er... Lords and Ladies of the court!
0:29:08 > 0:29:10A toast to our newly betrotheds...
0:29:12 > 0:29:15..and King Edward and Queen Elizabeth of England!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Edward, you cannot let him do that to me!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I'll have my mother speak to him.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Your mother? You may as well reward him with more gold!
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Then what do you suggest, Elizabeth? Truly, tell me
0:29:49 > 0:29:53because if you can think of something that I cannot then perhaps you should be King!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06George!
0:30:06 > 0:30:08You will not behave towards me this way.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Are you threatening me?
0:30:12 > 0:30:13I'm the Queen of England.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18You're a murderer! You murdered my first-born son.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You killed my boy with a storm and I will not let you take my next.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I killed no-one
0:30:23 > 0:30:27and I will not let you destroy the court and all we've worked for.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Shh. Shh.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45DOG WHINES
0:30:45 > 0:30:47INDISTINCT
0:31:03 > 0:31:05BABY CRIES
0:31:05 > 0:31:10I found him in our rooms. She's trying to kill me.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13George, how do you know it was her?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Who else could it be?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21She is trying to poison us all.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Anne, the Queen has tried to poison us.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37We're going back to Tewkesbury.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Isabel, come on.- What?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Go to Warwick Castle, Anne, for me, I beg you.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44For God's sake, get out of this place.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48She means to kill us all.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Isabel. Izzy, don't go! Izzy!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02How can he know the dog was poisoned? The thing was old.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It could've died from anything.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Isabel said SHE poisoned it, the witch.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16SORCERER CHANTS
0:32:29 > 0:32:31SHE COUGHS
0:32:39 > 0:32:40You should be resting, Isabel.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44'My dearest Annie.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50'I've had my baby boy, Teddy. He's a cheruby little thing
0:32:50 > 0:32:53'but Annie, George says the witch will try and poison him
0:32:53 > 0:32:58'while he's small and weak so he's paying a sorcerer...
0:32:59 > 0:33:04'..a man named Burdett to ward off evil spells. Annie,
0:33:04 > 0:33:06'I'm ill. I'm bedridden.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11'George says the Queen has poisoned me.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14'Either that or it's her curse on me.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17'I'm frightened, Annie. I need you.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19'Burn this.'
0:33:37 > 0:33:38You're too late.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40What do you mean?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49No, Izzy!
0:33:50 > 0:33:54No, no, no. No!
0:33:56 > 0:33:57No.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04SHE CRIES
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Help.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14No.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Shouldn't we tell people, so that they can say goodbye?
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Who can we trust, though?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29If this was the Queen's doing, then I shall have revenge on her.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'll talk to the King. I'll tell him what I know.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37But I know what he'll try to do.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39He'll try to buy me off with marriage and get me
0:34:39 > 0:34:40out of the country.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43But I won't agree to it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Of course I won't.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00I think I grew to love her, Anne.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03I really think I did.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Anne...
0:35:20 > 0:35:21..is it true?
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Your sister is dead?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Yes. I'm sorry.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38I'm sorry I left you...
0:35:41 > 0:35:42..on the battlefield.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46I was afraid.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Damn you, Edward.- George! - Damn you and damn her!
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Edward!
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Leave us.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30George has just accused me publicly of witchcraft!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33He is spreading rumours that his wife was poisoned
0:36:33 > 0:36:34and I was the one who did it.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37George is angry because he cannot have the wife he wants.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43He just asked me for Mary of Burgundy but I said no.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Imagine what would happen if we let him loose with Flanders!
0:36:45 > 0:36:48He is accusing me of murder, Edward!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51And if you're not going to do anything about it, then
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I most certainly will. - Yes, and what will you do?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Hmm? They already say you're a witch.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Now, unless you want those rumours to grow, then you must learn to
0:37:01 > 0:37:04rise above the accusations, for once, and do nothing.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I will command Anne Neville to an audience with me...
0:37:17 > 0:37:19..and I will scotch the rumours.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Lady Anne, do you believe your sister, Isabel, was poisoned?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42She said the dog was poisoned.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Izzy thought she wasn't safe at court.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- She feared the Queen would poison her?- I...
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Well, if anyone were to poison her, it would be George himself.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55She's barely cold in her grave
0:37:55 > 0:37:58and all he cares about is snaring himself a powerful new wife.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01It is the King who wants him to re-marry.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04The King?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And why would the King want George in Flanders
0:38:07 > 0:38:09when all he'd do is bring an army to attack us?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Use your head and think, for once, you stupid girl,
0:38:13 > 0:38:14instead of listening to his venom.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I didn't poison anyone.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24So it's true, then?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28That George wants to re-marry? Yes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33You don't think it could be him that killed my sister, do you?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37We do not even know if she was murdered...
0:38:38 > 0:38:41..apart from George's accusation of it.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44She could have died from child bed fever.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50They were married before God, so he could not put her aside.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54But now he has her half of the fortune.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00He is still not happy.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I want to go and fetch my niece and nephew.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12I want them here with me at Warwick Castle, away from danger.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Happy times for you, then.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You think I'd celebrate a young girl's death?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Well, it's had the effect you've been hoping for.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32The whole court is dividing.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35And you and your brother will be on both sides, as ever.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39So who do you think the murderer is, Margaret?
0:39:39 > 0:39:43I don't know. Most likely that unholy sorcerer of George's.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Some concoction designed to protect her probably ended her.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48So George has a sorcerer?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51How do you know?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53The Queen requests I listen to court gossip.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I do not tell her everything I hear.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Yeah, but if there's one thing we should tell them, it's that.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I don't know if it's true for sure.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Take men to Tewkesbury. Arrest George. There'll be no warning.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07Do it now!
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Now George has found himself a sorcerer to counteract
0:40:20 > 0:40:21your "witchcraft".
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Where's George?
0:40:33 > 0:40:41He escaped. We will capture him.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42No!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24What are you doing out here alone?
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Wishing that this river was a moat to keep my loved ones safe
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- and enemies out. When did you get back?- Just now.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Have you heard?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39George employed a sorcerer against me
0:41:39 > 0:41:42and half the court thinks he has just cause.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I don't know what to do.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Trust God.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Pray for his guidance.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51George is on the run.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53We don't know where he'll go or what he'll do.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55And now we must dance and carouse
0:41:55 > 0:41:59and celebrate Edward's 15 years as King.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I don't feel like celebrating.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06DRUM BANGS RHYTHMICALLY
0:42:16 > 0:42:21Smile and behold our most glorious sight! Follow the creatures!
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Follow the light! Come now and honour the years of your King!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Come and exalt him! Come now and sing!
0:42:30 > 0:42:35CLAPPING
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Richard, all the men are armed.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Everyone is siding for or against the Queen.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Edward fears she will be assassinated, given all the rumours.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00But Richard... Wait, Richard!
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Lead on.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06We have examined the sorcerer's charts
0:43:06 > 0:43:09and it's even worse than I thought.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11George has been foretelling my death.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16What will you do?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19What can I do? He is my brother.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Look at her, acting like the King herself.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32George, you shouldn't be here.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I'm not afraid of either of them.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36My sorcerer has told me that the witch will give the Princes
0:43:36 > 0:43:41over to their killer with her own hand. She will end her line herself.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43George, please be quiet!
0:43:43 > 0:43:46It is forbidden to predict the death of royalty.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50And to kill a royal Duchess, to murder your sister.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52They didn't let that stop them.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56The swine is here! I can hear him.
0:43:56 > 0:44:01My friend, Thomas Burdett, refused the quicker death that he was
0:44:01 > 0:44:06entitled if he had confessed to his guilt.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07George?
0:44:07 > 0:44:08Now what does this tell you about that man?
0:44:08 > 0:44:12SHOUTS: George! George!
0:44:17 > 0:44:18Argh!
0:44:22 > 0:44:23George, you coward!
0:44:23 > 0:44:27If he had confessed, his heirs could have inherited, but he refused...
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Where is he?
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- ..because this man...- George! - ..this man was innocent!
0:44:33 > 0:44:40So your King, your great King, your beloved Edward, is a murderer!
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Just as you have murdered before, eh, Edward?
0:44:44 > 0:44:49When you took a pillow and you smothered old King Henry.
0:44:49 > 0:44:54And who bade you do it? That evil witch, Elizabeth Rivers!
0:44:54 > 0:44:59And you killed my wife and you killed my first-born son!
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- Somebody take him. He's gone mad! - And you still don't see it!
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Anthony, Richard, seize him!
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- She's dragging this country to hell...- George, stop it!
0:45:09 > 0:45:13- ..and she's taking us all with her! - George, stop it!
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Be quiet, George!
0:45:47 > 0:45:51SHOUTS: Edward! You'll burn in hell for this!
0:45:51 > 0:45:53I have to decide. I cannot keep holding him.
0:45:53 > 0:45:54You can hardly let him go.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58If I charge him with treason, as I should, then the sentence is death.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01I would be killing my own brother, Elizabeth.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Listen. Edward, you are the King.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08- You can decide..- Edward! - ..what penalty to give him.
0:46:08 > 0:46:14Don't listen to her poison. She's trying to bewitch you!
0:46:14 > 0:46:16SHOUTS: Edward! Edward!
0:46:18 > 0:46:23We are here to try George, Duke of Clarence,
0:46:23 > 0:46:24who's charged with treason.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33And I shall act as Prosecutor.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Is there any news?
0:46:57 > 0:46:59They're still giving evidence.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02But everyone now seems certain that Isabel died of child bed fever,
0:47:02 > 0:47:03not of poison.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07All the focus has shifted onto George using a sorcerer.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10The King is prosecuting. No-one is defending.
0:47:10 > 0:47:11Not even Richard.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18Elizabeth, I would like to leave the court
0:47:18 > 0:47:20and go back to my husband in the country.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31He cannot do it. Richard, you must tell him!
0:47:31 > 0:47:33If he's found guilty, he will die.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37The Queen would have him dead.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39She's not forgiven him for her father and her brother.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43We are the three sons of York.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46How can we be divided by one woman?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50Oh, please, not George! Not George of all of you.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59Why him of all of us? Would you rather it was me?
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Would you rather it was Edward who died and his sons, too,
0:48:04 > 0:48:06just so your precious little George could have every last thing
0:48:06 > 0:48:07he ever wanted?
0:48:44 > 0:48:47They found him guilty. You must have heard.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Is that not what you would want?
0:48:52 > 0:48:54I don't even know the answer to that.
0:48:59 > 0:49:05Tell me, how shall we find the strength to bear the wrongs
0:49:05 > 0:49:06people do us?
0:49:08 > 0:49:10He killed my father and my brother.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12He murdered them in cold blood.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14So why should he fare any better?
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Have you known loss, Lady Margaret?
0:49:20 > 0:49:21I've buried two husbands...
0:49:23 > 0:49:25..and my only son is forced to live away from me.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31He is heir to the House of Lancaster, an enemy to the King, so.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34I do not see him, was not allowed to raise him.
0:49:35 > 0:49:36He may as well be lost to me.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39And yet you have your faith?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41The Bible tells us "an eye for an eye".
0:49:45 > 0:49:49But it also tells us, "Love your enemies,
0:49:49 > 0:49:53"bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you."
0:49:54 > 0:49:55Lady Margaret?
0:49:57 > 0:49:58Will you pray with me?
0:50:29 > 0:50:31I would like us to make peace with George.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37If he apologises and withdraws his accusations, then I think
0:50:37 > 0:50:38we should forgive him.
0:50:41 > 0:50:46He has been plotting with King Louis of France to murder me
0:50:46 > 0:50:47and take my throne.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55I have to pass the death sentence.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03You cannot execute him. He's your brother.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06- You've said yourself that he's not. - He planned to kill me.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08- Of course he didn't!- There's proof.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13George has been disappointed. You know, it's been so hard for him.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15You will forgive him, Edward, you will!
0:51:15 > 0:51:18I'm sorry for your loss, Mother, but I will not.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24You will forgive him. I command it.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26You do not command me.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30I am your MOTHER!
0:51:30 > 0:51:31- SHOUTS:- Yes, and I am the KING!
0:51:31 > 0:51:32- SHOUTS:- You will!
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Oh, God! Oh, God!
0:51:40 > 0:51:43All I can offer is to let him choose the means of his own death,
0:51:43 > 0:51:45whether it be the sword or the scaffold or the block or
0:51:45 > 0:51:49- whatever he chooses.- This is YOUR work!- No, it's not.- But he will die.
0:51:49 > 0:51:55Please, Edward! Please. You're my son.
0:51:58 > 0:52:03You can't do this to me. You can't kill him.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Please, Edward! I beg you. I beg you.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08I beg you!
0:52:12 > 0:52:13I will beg you!
0:52:17 > 0:52:18I beg you!
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Please.
0:52:23 > 0:52:29Please, Edward. Please! Please! Edward! Edward, please! He's my boy!
0:52:29 > 0:52:31He's my precious boy!
0:52:31 > 0:52:35Please. He's my... Please! Please!
0:52:35 > 0:52:38SHE WAILS
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Edward!
0:52:46 > 0:52:49He wants to be drowned in a barrel of wine.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Oh, don't joke, Anthony.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53George, the fool, has chosen a fool's death...
0:52:54 > 0:52:56..a barrel of Malmsey wine.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00He's no fool. It's to punish me.
0:53:03 > 0:53:10Dextera tua erigas, virtute confirmes, potestate tuearis.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15My sweet boy, George. My poor, sweet boy.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Their children will be orphans.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Orphans and paupers! Their father dies a traitor.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27His lands will be forfeit.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30And who do you think will get them?
0:53:31 > 0:53:33SHE will.
0:53:33 > 0:53:38..talking to you. This is our own brother that we're talking about!
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Do you realise how ridiculous you are being here?
0:53:40 > 0:53:42He's gone too far. I can see that.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45He has committed high treason!
0:53:45 > 0:53:51Cum omni desiderata prosperitate, restituas.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.
0:54:03 > 0:54:07Is no-one coming to see me? My mother,
0:54:07 > 0:54:09or at least my brothers?
0:54:09 > 0:54:13Wait! Wait, please! At least let me see my brother, the King.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15No! Aargh!
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Agnus Dei...
0:54:52 > 0:54:53MUSIC DROWNS SPEECH
0:54:56 > 0:54:57Agnus Dei...
0:55:01 > 0:55:05SHE SOBS
0:55:07 > 0:55:08Oh, please!
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Let's go home to Warwick Castle.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Richard.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Do you love me?
0:56:01 > 0:56:02Truly?
0:56:05 > 0:56:09Anne! Oh, God, Anne!
0:56:14 > 0:56:18BELLS TOLL
0:56:34 > 0:56:38Stanley has asked if Lady Margaret's son may have his title
0:56:38 > 0:56:40returned to him, now that George is...
0:56:42 > 0:56:46Why not? It's one less person who'll hate us.
0:56:51 > 0:56:57This will be the last death, Edward. You must think of life.
0:56:58 > 0:56:59Think of our children.
0:57:04 > 0:57:05KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:57:05 > 0:57:06I have good news.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10The King has agreed that Henry may be given back his title,
0:57:10 > 0:57:11Earl of Richmond.
0:57:13 > 0:57:14He's agreed?
0:57:14 > 0:57:17Seeing as its previous owner is deceased.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21Perhaps he's feeling short of friends.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24- Will they let him come home? - They have not ruled it out
0:57:24 > 0:57:25but you are at the Queen's bosom now,
0:57:25 > 0:57:27so perhaps you can help influence her.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34Do... Do they still fear he's a rival?
0:57:34 > 0:57:38Well, of course he's a rival.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40But who would follow a stranger over Edward,
0:57:40 > 0:57:42especially when he has his two beloved Princes to follow him
0:57:42 > 0:57:47to the throne and then his brother, Richard, and his son, Edward, too?
0:57:49 > 0:57:52Your Henry is going to have to walk past five coffins to take
0:57:52 > 0:57:55the crown, and I don't know how he's going to manage that.
0:57:57 > 0:57:58Do you?
