0:00:04 > 0:00:06We therefore thank you

0:00:06 > 0:00:10for those subsidies you have voted towards the war -

0:00:10 > 0:00:12a war in your defence...

0:00:16 > 0:00:19And for the trust you have shown us

0:00:19 > 0:00:23in committing the colleges and chancelleries to our care.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25APPLAUSE

0:00:32 > 0:00:34My beloved subjects...

0:00:35 > 0:00:38It may be the last time we have occasion

0:00:38 > 0:00:43to parole this parliament and address the state of our realm.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Now it is not unknown to you

0:00:47 > 0:00:52that we have reigned o'er this kingdom for nearly 40 years,

0:00:52 > 0:00:56during which time we have so ordered, thanks be to God,

0:00:56 > 0:01:02that no outward enemy hath oppressed you or taken anything from you.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03APPLAUSE

0:01:11 > 0:01:16But, unless you, my Lords temporal, and you my Lords spiritual,

0:01:16 > 0:01:19and you my loving subjects,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22study to amend one thing that is amiss,

0:01:22 > 0:01:26there can be no peace within the realm.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34Charity and concord are not among you.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Saint Paul says charity is not proud,

0:01:40 > 0:01:42charity is not envious,

0:01:42 > 0:01:46charity is gentle and...so forth.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50But what charity is there in you

0:01:50 > 0:01:57when one calls another hypocrite, Anabaptist, papist, heretic?

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Be in charity, one with another,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06like brother and brother.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Love...

0:02:10 > 0:02:12..dread and serve God.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18I, as your supreme head and sovereign lord, exhort and require you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31THEY WHISPER

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Your Grace...

0:03:49 > 0:03:51..must prepare to meet his God.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56What judge sends you to pass this sentence?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Your physician, sir.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01They can do no more.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It is time for Your Grace...

0:04:05 > 0:04:07..to weigh his past life...

0:04:09 > 0:04:11And to seek for God's mercy

0:04:11 > 0:04:13through Christ.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24CHEERING

0:04:38 > 0:04:40For the prince, madam.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48For our son.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01DRUM ROLL

0:05:01 > 0:05:03MUSIC AND CHEERING

0:05:57 > 0:06:02- Thomas, would you educate my son? - Gladly, sir.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Would you? Catherine, did you hear that?

0:06:05 > 0:06:10- More's going to educate the prince. - It will be to his honour, sir.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12What would Your Grace have him learn?

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Everything, Bishop, old and new - Aquinas, Euripides.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Sir, the ladies are waiting to celebrate his birth.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Another time, Thomas.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The only text he ever read would be a stud book.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Charity.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Largesse for the commons.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22CHEERING

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Come, you shall pick them from me.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Henry, escucha me.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46We must go to Richmond.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19He was not ill.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23There was no remedy, nothing the physicians could do.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25It was so sudden.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Kate, this is the will of God. - Will of God.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- And we must accept it... - Will of God.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37And ask his blessing.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41We'll make pilgrimage to Walsingham Dales.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45We're still young. We'll have other children.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48God has chosen to take the boy.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04I'll give you another son, I promise you.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11THEY RECITE THE HAIL MARY

0:10:21 > 0:10:25< Sir, your father's policy was ever to avoid war.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Aside from the financial consideration

0:10:28 > 0:10:31of sending 40,000 men into France.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34And you talk just like my father.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Now you will tell me God only forbids war because of our sins.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42My quarrel is God's quarrel, is it not?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45All the world knows Your Grace's zeal in the Pope's cause

0:10:45 > 0:10:49and that you would rather die than take any dishonour, but...

0:10:49 > 0:10:52The point, my tutor, is

0:10:52 > 0:10:56whether we allow the King of France, a pronounced heretic,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59to bend all Christian princes to his will and pleasure.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03We are in holy league with the Emperor and his Spanish Majesty

0:11:03 > 0:11:05to defend Christendom.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Are we to betray our alliance? - The Queen's been at him.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Howard, your whispers are as private as a horse's fart.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14The Queen's parentage is irrelevant.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Her father is anxious to regain his territory

0:11:17 > 0:11:21while we sit hoarding our miserable store of gold.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Did Henry V decline the challenge?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27He knew France was his birthright, and by God, he claimed it.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm not against giving the French a hiding,

0:11:30 > 0:11:35but what surety is there our men won't come limping home again?

0:11:35 > 0:11:39This time the almoner will see they have proper victuals.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Can you do that, Master Wolsey?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Can you procure good cut-rate beef for us?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53My Lords, we have not considered the other danger - Scotland.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Fisher is right, sir.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59With so many men away, they might do us great mischief.

0:11:59 > 0:12:05With all respect to Your Highness, I propose that we wait upon events.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07If there should be a change of fortune,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09if the Emperor should prevail...

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Would it not be a sorry thing for His Grace,

0:12:12 > 0:12:14being so expert in archery,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17to see the Emperor with more strings to his bow?

0:12:17 > 0:12:22Sir, I beg you not to be led into any foolishness.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27Gentlemen, I've ever accepted your good counsel, but I do overrule you.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31The dignity and unity of the Roman Church must be defended.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35The Queen will hold our power at home while I lead the Army into France.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Master Wolsey will supply us with food, transport

0:12:38 > 0:12:40and all our engines of war.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43The King will have new dockyards in the Thames Estuary

0:12:43 > 0:12:45at Deptford and Woolwich.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49At Deptford a guild of pilots will be formed for navigation.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54His Grace commands construction of the following ships -

0:12:54 > 0:12:57the galley The Virgin Mary, 900 tons, 207 culverin,

0:12:57 > 0:13:01The Lion, 950 tons, 180 falcon and culverin,

0:13:01 > 0:13:04The Great Galley, 800 tons, 120 falcon and demi-culverin.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Send her out.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Henry, why you...? - Don't speak, madam.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Read that.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Is it your father's hand?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Yes, but... - Read it.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48It was brought here by the French Ambassador.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Proof that your father is a liar, a conspiring liar.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- He has made peace with France. - He must have reason.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's to receive the territory of Navarre.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00He's been bribed, madam, bought.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Three months after promising to continue the war

0:14:06 > 0:14:08which he induced me to enter,

0:14:08 > 0:14:13as you induced me to it, because I had been at some pains, madam.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16And now, when we are ready to renew the campaign,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19when the Kingdom of France is at my feet,

0:14:19 > 0:14:21your father gulls me,

0:14:21 > 0:14:24and his servant, the Emperor.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Do you see this clause?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Here at the close, madam.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Speak it.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37"And if the King of England refuses to accept such a peace..."

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yes, yes!

0:14:39 > 0:14:44"We, the Emperor and I, do solemnly pledge ourselves

0:14:44 > 0:14:48"to assist the King of France n the defence of his realm."

0:14:48 > 0:14:52My friends, my sweet allies!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I... I do not think

0:14:59 > 0:15:03there is any faith in this world. You all play me false.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Do I? - Yes.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- At Flodden? - You did not beat the Scots.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Flodden was won by the Howards, madam, by English Howards.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15You would do well to attribute your victories to God.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19You think to rule me. You would do well to assume a woman's role

0:15:19 > 0:15:22and give me a child, an heir to this throne.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26Do you think I do not pray for that each day of my life?

0:15:26 > 0:15:29One still-born female hidden away, two boys

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- that cannot live out a month. - Don't you love me?

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Princes marry to beget children, My Lady.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Then give me a healthy child.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Sir, I am yours, your servant.

0:15:52 > 0:15:58I cannot think of my father without shame.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01That is as well. I intend making peace with France,

0:16:01 > 0:16:04a greater peace than your father can imagine.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09I have been made the royal fool, but they shall never deceive me again.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11I will never trust any more.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Draw up an enactment for the preservation of forests.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- And the seeding of new ones? - Good.

0:16:19 > 0:16:24We have a moat about us, but it must be fortified. Ships and ordnance.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29Crews trained to fight until we have a fleet that may not be destroyed.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34Sir, if I may venture to say so, there are two further elements

0:16:34 > 0:16:38that constitute the defence of this kingdom -

0:16:38 > 0:16:40the love of your people...

0:16:40 > 0:16:42And a son which I lack.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Is that it? - We must secure the succession, sir.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Without an heir, there could be a return to civil war.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52- May I speak my mind? - Yes.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Are we so certain of the legality of Your Grace's marriage

0:16:56 > 0:16:58with his brother's wife?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05There was papal dispensation.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10Did not Your Grace make formal objection in your father's lifetime?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15As you know, sir,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Queen.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24But even in Rome they are saying Her Grace should step aside

0:17:24 > 0:17:25if there are no heirs.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29The Pope could not oppose a matter of such necessity.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33There are precedents - the King of France, King Henry...

0:17:33 > 0:17:35No, no, I...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Not yet. I couldn't ask it of her yet.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46The Queen may still bear a healthy child,

0:17:46 > 0:17:51but you might well consider marriage with a Princess of France,

0:17:51 > 0:17:54for the comfort of Your Grace's realm.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03BELLS PEAL

0:18:12 > 0:18:14BABY CRIES

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Your Majesty.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Now, by the grace of God, the sons will follow.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Sons?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Sons?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Only a daughter, Mary.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Lady Mary.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51'Poor Mary.'

0:19:31 > 0:19:33LAUGHTER

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Thomas, when I was a boy, you were one of my heroes,

0:19:38 > 0:19:40a great name among scholars.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44It was always, "More says this. More thinks that."

0:19:44 > 0:19:47The years have not changed my feeling for you.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Will you sit on my counsel now and advise me?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I need your advice.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00You shall have it, so long as I can keep a good conscience.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- What mean you? - That I may serve God first.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Why, we all must.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07LAUGHTER

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- You family are late to bed. - They forget time.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- What age is he, your boy? - Nine, sir.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well favoured, strong, isn't he?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Thomas, is my...

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Is my marriage unclean?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Accursed of God? - No, Your Grace.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Leviticus plagues my conscience.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30No union with a brother's wife may bear true issue.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Your Grace's brother died young.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35But she was his before me.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- He held her first. - But without true knowledge of her.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41That is the biblical meaning.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Then why have I no son?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Why? Why?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50All the world has a son.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Am I not a man like you?

0:20:52 > 0:20:53Be patient, sir.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58How many pilgrimages to the Abbey

0:20:58 > 0:21:01to touch the Holy Relic and seek God's blessing?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04How long can a man be patient?

0:21:04 > 0:21:06All his life, if he must.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12BLESSING IN LATIN

0:21:52 > 0:21:56'Anne, mine own sweetheart,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00'by turning over in my thoughts the contents of your last letters,

0:22:00 > 0:22:03'I have put myself into a great agony.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06'I beseech you to let me know your whole intention

0:22:06 > 0:22:09'as to the love between us two.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11'I must obtain this answer of you.'

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Your Grace knows it already.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Your brothers at court and Norris and Tom Wyatt -

0:22:17 > 0:22:21centre of your world. How long can you remain at Hever?

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Until I make a good match.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Don't mock me, Anne.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28I've had no peace for thinking of you.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32I receive the clergy but half aware of what they say.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36Your image is before me every stroke of the clock.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39I've never known such joy before.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Nor such despair.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45It's as though I never lived till now,

0:22:45 > 0:22:47nor my blood never sang until I met you.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Don't mock me, Anne.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00- No! - Anne!

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I've no soft words or French cleverness.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07I must seem rude to you, but it's an honest rudeness.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Votre Majeste dit qu'il m'aime? - Yes.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13And that you would serve me only, forsaking all others?

0:23:13 > 0:23:18So what am I? Another mistress like Bessie Blount or my sister?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20You're not of their mould.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Grand merci, and you'd conceive another bastard?

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Is that your leaning, sir?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Or would you have an honest son to succeed you?

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Wait, Anne.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Only wait.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Oh, then farewell to my young looks.

0:23:37 > 0:23:38I'm sailing to Rome.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42When?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49When Wolsey returns.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Sir, if you were free,

0:23:55 > 0:23:57I would give myself to you,

0:23:57 > 0:23:59my heart and my body.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21You have much fortune, My Lady.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47You would shuffle faster, I believe, without your glove.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Her Grace shows courage.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13It is beyond her strength to keep these hours.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16What will you do, my Lord?

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Appeal for the case to be heard in England.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23It is one thing to arrange a divorce for dynastic reasons,

0:25:23 > 0:25:27and quite another to displace the Queen for this foolish girl.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Not such a fool, perhaps. - If His Grace would but tire of her.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Of what he's never tasted? - Pray God he does,

0:25:33 > 0:25:37and that we're free of her before the storm breaks.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41Make no doubt, Master Cromwell, there will be a storm.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45You win again!

0:25:47 > 0:25:53Mistress Boleyn has the good fortune never to stop at a King.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01But I think My Lady will have all...

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Or nothing.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26'Catherine, Queen of England, come into court.'

0:26:28 > 0:26:31'How have I offended you?'

0:26:31 > 0:26:34What occasion of displeasure have you

0:26:34 > 0:26:36that you intend to put me from you?

0:26:36 > 0:26:41These 20 years I have been your true and lawful wife.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44By me you have had diverse children.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49Although it hath pleased God to call them out of this world,

0:26:49 > 0:26:51there has been no default in me.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55And when you had me at the first, I take God to be my judge,

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I was a true maid without touch of man.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02And whether this be true or not,

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I put it to your conscience.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Therefore I most humbly require you

0:27:21 > 0:27:24to spare me the extremity of this court

0:27:24 > 0:27:30until I may know what way my friends in Spain will advise me to take.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34And if you will not extend to me such indifferent favour,

0:27:34 > 0:27:36your pleasure then be fulfilled,

0:27:36 > 0:27:40and to God do I commit my case.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42APPLAUSE

0:27:59 > 0:28:04Catherine, Queen of England, come again into court.

0:28:07 > 0:28:12Catherine, Queen of England, come again into court.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18LIVELY MUSIC AND JEERING

0:28:32 > 0:28:35You mark it well.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37And the street walls, My Lord.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39The filth pictured on them.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Give me time. - Mistress Boleyn is with child.

0:28:42 > 0:28:47There is no time. Five years he has waited on the Pope's decision.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51We've mustered such a body of opinion from the universities.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56The only opinion His Holiness can entertain is the Emperor's.

0:28:56 > 0:29:02The Emperor has him in his power and will not see his aunt divorced.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06Without His Holiness' sanction, a future heir would be illegitimate.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Shall the King crawl to Rome? - People would never suffer that.

0:29:10 > 0:29:14Precisely. You want the papal blessing upon this divorce.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19It will not be granted. Therefore we must divorce the Pope.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21His Grace will not like it.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25He's halfway to it. Head of the Church of England.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27We must complete the separation.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30My Lord Archbishop, it is our business

0:29:30 > 0:29:33to clear the ground before His Grace,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37remove the stones, the stench, the filth

0:29:37 > 0:29:39that might offend the royal eye.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42My late master failed. I shall not fail

0:29:42 > 0:29:45because I anticipate the King's wishes.

0:29:45 > 0:29:50Does he want his new Queen full bellied at her coronation?

0:29:53 > 0:29:57I have prepared the annulment of his union with Catherine

0:29:57 > 0:30:00and drawn up papers proclaiming her Princess Dowager.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05Within a day, the King's marriage to the Lady Anne can be confirmed.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08Her coronation may then take place.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I did not think to have underestimated you.

0:30:15 > 0:30:20My dear Cranmer, what you needed was not time, but reassurance.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56Let the Pope excommunicate me. I don't give two straws.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59- He only threatens.- He would forbid me mass, deny me burial,

0:30:59 > 0:31:02and should I now kiss his ring, hmm?

0:31:02 > 0:31:06I shall give His Holiness such a buffet as he's never had.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08His name shall be obliterated.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11He shall be known henceforth as the Bishop of Rome.

0:31:11 > 0:31:16Are we not in danger of a divided kingdom, a two-headed monster?

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Is your allegiance divided, Norfolk?

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- No, Your Grace. - No more is my kingdom's.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Obedience to the Pope, the Bishop of Rome,

0:31:27 > 0:31:31is unmanly, unholy and it's un-English.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34From this time the Church shall pay its taxes

0:31:34 > 0:31:36not to the Vatican, but to me.

0:31:36 > 0:31:41If there is disaffection in the monasteries, we will search it out.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43You have appointed commissioners?

0:31:43 > 0:31:48Yes. Also to enquire into the conditions of these churchmen.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54- Sir, regarding the Princess Mary... - I hear she's ill.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58- A slight indisposition, sir. - More than that, I believe.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Sir, her mother's been asking to nurse her.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04Would Your Grace consider rescinding their separation?

0:32:04 > 0:32:09Not until they admit to the illegality of that marriage.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Now they will only incite rebellion or cause us to be invaded.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15They must submit!

0:32:15 > 0:32:20They must agree to the succession of the Princess Elizabeth

0:32:20 > 0:32:22until such time...

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Until...

0:32:41 > 0:32:46Until such time as the Queen bears us another child, a son.

0:32:46 > 0:32:51They will swear to my supremacy of the church like any other subject.

0:32:51 > 0:32:57Any man, woman or child who refuses, I don't care who he is -

0:32:57 > 0:33:02Fisher, More, the Carthusian monks - shall be put under the tinder.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20These people shall learn the truth of the old prophecy.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25I shall begin my reign as a man, and become more raging than the lion.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Howard.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Your Grace?

0:33:50 > 0:33:52If you can...

0:33:53 > 0:33:56..save Thomas More for me.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23# As it fell out one morn in May

0:34:23 > 0:34:25# When groweth the green of spring

0:34:25 > 0:34:28# Young Robin to the Greenwood came

0:34:28 > 0:34:31# And sat he down to sing

0:34:31 > 0:34:37# And yet fast comes the hour when fades the fairest flower

0:34:37 > 0:34:39# A maiden heard his sorry song

0:34:39 > 0:34:42# Maid Marion was her name

0:34:42 > 0:34:43# I pray you, sir

0:34:43 > 0:34:47# Hearken to me and sing not so for shame

0:34:47 > 0:34:49# And yet fast comes the hour

0:34:49 > 0:34:54# When fades the fairest flower

0:34:54 > 0:34:57# This Robin was a lusty youth

0:34:57 > 0:34:59# And his face was fair beside

0:34:59 > 0:35:02# Maid Marion found it hard forsooth

0:35:02 > 0:35:05# From him her love to hide

0:35:05 > 0:35:07# And yet fast comes the hour

0:35:07 > 0:35:11# When fades the fairest flower

0:35:11 > 0:35:15# Said Robin, I'm a forester

0:35:15 > 0:35:17# That many things can do

0:35:17 > 0:35:19# Who ride and hunt for profit

0:35:19 > 0:35:23# And fire an arrow, too

0:35:23 > 0:35:25# And yet fast comes the hour

0:35:25 > 0:35:30# When fades the fairest flower

0:35:30 > 0:35:33# Said Marion I'm a country maid

0:35:33 > 0:35:35# And chaste as thou can see

0:35:35 > 0:35:38# So let me see thee fire thy bow

0:35:38 > 0:35:41# For I die for love of thee

0:35:41 > 0:35:43# And yet fast comes the hour

0:35:43 > 0:35:48# When fades the fairest flower

0:35:48 > 0:35:51# So Robin then to Marion said

0:35:51 > 0:35:53# Come sit thee down by me

0:35:53 > 0:35:55# A merry time we'll have of it

0:35:55 > 0:35:59# If we two can agree

0:35:59 > 0:36:02# And yet fast comes the hour

0:36:02 > 0:36:08# When fades the fairest flower. #

0:36:11 > 0:36:14- Your Grace. - A fine air, Master Smeaton.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Will Your Grace favour us with one? - No, not now, Norris.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48You look tired.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Shall I read to you?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53I've marked some passages in the new books.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59Thomas More.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01My one true counsellor.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08- The most honest man in the kingdom. - The most captious.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13You are the cause of his death, madam.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21His own wilful disobedience, sir.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26It has made a fearful noise throughout Europe.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31If we listened to every slander, we should soon be pease pudding.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33You must be more audacious yet.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36While the dowager and her child are at large,

0:37:36 > 0:37:38they can do you great harm.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Mistress Mary should be wed to some private gentleman.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48- My daughter? - Your bastard, sir.

0:37:50 > 0:37:55Or let her be placed as maidservant to the princess.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57We'll think on it.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05And now you shall forget all these cares.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33I've planned a feast for us,

0:38:33 > 0:38:35a great revel.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40Masks? Mummeries?

0:38:40 > 0:38:42And very curious disguises.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46The Ethiope Queen and her train.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52You shall be the Ethiope Queen

0:38:52 > 0:38:57with your dark looks and your sweet, slender limbs.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13Why did you take my letters that you sent me at Hever?

0:39:14 > 0:39:18I had them tied together and locked most securely.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21I do not have them, sweetheart.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27They'll come to light, no doubt.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39EXOTIC MUSIC AND REVELRY

0:40:26 > 0:40:30Mark the Queen's intimacy with her music man.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Groom of the chamber soon. I heard it privily.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- The night crow. - Sir?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51My niece a great night crow.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17Do you admire the masks, Signor Chapuys?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Most elegant, sir, especially Her Grace's steps.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22All her own devising.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37My God, it's meant to be Wolsey.

0:42:03 > 0:42:04MUSIC STOPS

0:42:04 > 0:42:06APPLAUSE

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Your Queen salutes you, O Solomon.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15You are dark, madam.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Scorched by the hot sun, sir. - You know my meaning.

0:42:19 > 0:42:23Wanton, extravagant, to treat a cardinal in such a fashion.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26I am queen of a wild land, sir.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28I may do as I please in it.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Take care, madam.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35It was but a mask, like any other.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38I think not. It lacked respect.

0:42:39 > 0:42:44You have often blacked your face and wielded a sword in dumb show.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13I admired your ballet, madame.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19I understand from the King

0:43:19 > 0:43:25that Your Highness is to be blessed with another child in the New Year.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Have I said anything to amuse Your Grace?

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Forgive me.

0:44:10 > 0:44:13So, she's dead.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Your Grace.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18When?

0:44:18 > 0:44:20In the afternoon.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22God rest her.

0:44:24 > 0:44:29Then God be praised that we're now delivered from all fear of war.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Catherine, Queen of England.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Stubborn to the last.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Never yielding one...

0:44:42 > 0:44:46I would speak with you, sir, alone if you please.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48- Signor Chapuys. - Your Grace.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56That stupid man with his documents!

0:44:56 > 0:45:00- He came to tell me that... - Am I Queen here, sir,

0:45:00 > 0:45:02or am I not?

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Yes, indeed you are.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08I demand you send Mistress Seymour from this court.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10In all the years I lived with Catherine,

0:45:10 > 0:45:14there was no demanding. That privilege is not yours.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17And you made presents to that pallid bitch.

0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Nonsense. - A locket.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22A sapphire locket with your image in it.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30And what is this, then,

0:45:30 > 0:45:34that I found about Mistress Seymour's neck?

0:45:38 > 0:45:41By God!

0:45:43 > 0:45:46No, no.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48No.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51You are governed by your condition.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55You shall rest now.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57You shall take care of our child.

0:46:01 > 0:46:05The physicians say...it will be a son, madam, a fine son.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10They all say it - the astrologers, the cunning women.

0:46:13 > 0:46:18So be at peace, sweetheart, and all shall go well with you.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20- How can I be? - Peace now.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23No more.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Peace.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28Rest.

0:46:28 > 0:46:29Rest.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31While you go to that Seymour thing.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33No, madam,

0:46:33 > 0:46:36but to hear mass for the late Queen,

0:46:36 > 0:46:39and then to exercise.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29His Grace's horse.

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Wine for His Grace.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Thank you, Thomas.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56Now, Suffolk!

0:48:52 > 0:48:54Are you honest, boy?

0:49:06 > 0:49:09- JANE SEYMOUR: - 'It was your fall, sir.'

0:49:09 > 0:49:13It was then the Queen took to her bed.

0:49:13 > 0:49:17We were afraid you would not live, sir.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20It was the child that died, my lady.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24And it is now only too sure that God will give me no sons by her.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32God!

0:49:32 > 0:49:33Let me leave Greenwich.

0:49:33 > 0:49:37- If I were gone, you and the Queen... - No, no!

0:49:37 > 0:49:39I will have no more issue by her.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Jane.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52I have been as a man spellbound these ten years.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55I was seduced into this marriage

0:49:55 > 0:49:57by witchcraft.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Everything my people said has proved right.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02She even has the marks upon her.

0:50:02 > 0:50:07She tries to hide them, but they're the devil's stigma.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Sir, I can say nothing of this.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14You will have seen them, surely?

0:50:14 > 0:50:17I only know that she bears you a great love.

0:50:17 > 0:50:21My presence here may have caused her to miscarry.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24Your Grace must let me go before I harm her further,

0:50:24 > 0:50:27or my soul before God.

0:50:27 > 0:50:29I beg you, sir.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35Very well.

0:50:38 > 0:50:40Go back to Wiltshire.

0:50:49 > 0:50:53A woman wedded in the power of devils is no lawful wife.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25Now.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29HE SCREAMS

0:51:34 > 0:51:37- How was this obtained? - Smeaton confessed to me.

0:51:37 > 0:51:42He admits to three separate violations.

0:51:42 > 0:51:45And the others? Those he implicates?

0:51:45 > 0:51:50Brereton on 16th November, Norris on 19th, Lord Rochford...

0:51:50 > 0:51:53Her own brother? Dear God!

0:51:53 > 0:51:56I fear to continue lest I anger Your Grace.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Do you believe this, Cromwell?

0:52:05 > 0:52:10Sir... I am forced to when I consider the close detail.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16And the expenses outlaid by Master Smeaton.

0:52:16 > 0:52:21Where could he have got such monies if not from the Queen?

0:52:21 > 0:52:24But Your Grace was to attend the May Day lists.

0:52:24 > 0:52:27I believe you should still attend them, sir.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55CHEERING

0:53:00 > 0:53:03Is Henry Norris teaching us how to jig?

0:53:13 > 0:53:17It is so hot, so unbelievably hot. Do you not think so, sir?

0:53:29 > 0:53:30Bravo!

0:53:30 > 0:53:31Bravo, Norris!

0:53:31 > 0:53:36Poor Weston. He'll break his own neck on his spear.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38Arrest Norris, Weston, Brereton and my Lord Rochford.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41Take the Queen later.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04I said noon.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08- Is it past that? - No.

0:55:10 > 0:55:13Beauty is a wind-blown bladder.

0:55:15 > 0:55:17She's guilty, Cranmer.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Guilty of treason.

0:55:19 > 0:55:23Two grand juries and 27 peers find her so, Your Grace.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25Why?

0:55:25 > 0:55:30Why did she withstand me so long and then oppose me?

0:55:30 > 0:55:32Her own brother, even.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Was it to get a son?

0:55:40 > 0:55:42She laughed at me, Cranmer.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Boasting with them. Holding me impotent.

0:55:45 > 0:55:49I am sorry that such faults were proven against the Queen.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53- I never had a better opinion of woman. - HENRY SNORTS

0:55:53 > 0:55:55I think Your Grace would not have gone

0:55:55 > 0:55:58so far if she had not been culpable.

0:55:58 > 0:56:01She was in conspiracy to be rid of me.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Then she has deserved her sentence.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05I...

0:56:09 > 0:56:12I shall ride out after...

0:56:13 > 0:56:15I cannot remain here.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19I shall ride into Wiltshire.

0:56:23 > 0:56:27May I remind Your Grace of the Rogation Days that lie ahead.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30What?

0:56:30 > 0:56:33If Your Grace follows the advice

0:56:33 > 0:56:36of his counsel for the nation's welfare,

0:56:36 > 0:56:39then your betrothal should be declared at once.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41Oh, yes. See to it.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Is...

0:56:44 > 0:56:46I rely on your discretion.

0:56:46 > 0:56:51Only, sir, that no marriage could take place on Rogation...

0:56:51 > 0:56:53GUNSHOT OUTSIDE

0:56:55 > 0:56:58GUNSHOT OUTSIDE

0:57:28 > 0:57:30CHURCH BELL TOLLS

0:57:36 > 0:57:40There's the church now, sir. Through the trees.

0:57:40 > 0:57:45- If Your Grace would rather... - He'll come before the sky breaks.

0:57:45 > 0:57:50- Are they bound for the village? - No, sir, to the abbey.

0:57:50 > 0:57:52- You've been there? - Many times.

0:57:52 > 0:57:55- And seen the blood of Christ? - Yes, sir.

0:57:55 > 0:57:57I have a phial of our Lord's tears.

0:57:57 > 0:58:01It saved me from the plague once.

0:58:01 > 0:58:05They crowd to Hales, since it was visited by the commission.

0:58:05 > 0:58:08The King's men are anxious to report abuses.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11And to get some ornament for the Exchequer.

0:58:11 > 0:58:13Your brother should guard his tongue.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16It's safe before me, but not His Grace.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19By tonight His Grace will have wed and bed our sister,

0:58:19 > 0:58:21then you'll scrape to me.

0:58:26 > 0:58:28BELL TOLLS

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Safe conduct for these men!

0:58:41 > 0:58:44Safe conduct for these rebels.

0:58:44 > 0:58:46Hold the groove!

0:58:50 > 0:58:52We bear no quarrel with Your Grace.

0:58:52 > 0:58:56Only with heretics and subverters of the law.

0:58:56 > 0:58:59One god, one king, one faith, sir.

0:58:59 > 0:59:02Return to the old order.

0:59:02 > 0:59:06- We want no bloodshed. - You took my commissioners' lives.

0:59:06 > 0:59:08One beaten with staves.

0:59:08 > 0:59:11Another torn limb from limb.

0:59:11 > 0:59:14Sir, they were guilty of misappropriation.

0:59:14 > 0:59:18The north country is not fat. We can bare afford tax,

0:59:18 > 0:59:21let alone the extortion of these agents.

0:59:26 > 0:59:29What kind of men are you employing, Cromwell?

0:59:29 > 0:59:33- They know their duty, sir. - Deception, breach of trust, is it?

0:59:33 > 0:59:38- No, Your Grace.- You see the discomfort you caused my people?

0:59:38 > 0:59:42- Your Grace knows... - I know that you'd give me the lie.

0:59:42 > 0:59:46That you're no general, but a dissembler, a great quibbler...

0:59:52 > 0:59:55We will consider your terms, gentlemen.

0:59:56 > 1:00:01Both with regard to the abbeys, our counsel of the Lady Mary.

1:00:01 > 1:00:05Meanwhile, we grant you our pardon for this rebellion.

1:00:06 > 1:00:08Thanks be to God.

1:00:08 > 1:00:13Now, note, Sir Ralph, the benevolence of your prince.

1:00:13 > 1:00:15Note how bloodshed may be avoided

1:00:15 > 1:00:19and learn by this small warning to keep you true men...

1:00:19 > 1:00:22- We are no traitors. - We never thought it.

1:00:22 > 1:00:26You shall be well housed and entertained. See to it.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28We humbly thank Your Grace.

1:00:33 > 1:00:37That I must treat and dissemble with these CREATURES!

1:00:39 > 1:00:44Don't we know, after 28 years, how to govern our kingdom?

1:00:44 > 1:00:46Oh, get up off your knees!

1:00:46 > 1:00:50This is your doing. If you had fortified the river, as I wanted.

1:00:50 > 1:00:53There are 30,000 of them.

1:00:53 > 1:00:58I never read that a prince's counsel should be appointed by common people.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00We have not one third their number.

1:01:00 > 1:01:05Must I do everything? Work for you, think for you, keep you in wealth.

1:01:05 > 1:01:09And now must I teach you how to quell insurrection?

1:01:09 > 1:01:13Maintain this truce until you have greater levy,

1:01:13 > 1:01:16then destroy these men, who have raised arms against me.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18Reduced this land to sterility.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20Your Grace promised pardons.

1:01:20 > 1:01:24- Promised, Bishop, that is all. - Sir.

1:01:24 > 1:01:26Will you gainsay me?

1:01:27 > 1:01:28No, Your Grace.

1:01:28 > 1:01:30Will any man?

1:01:30 > 1:01:32Speak up.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34Spit it out!

1:01:34 > 1:01:39For I intend such execution of them as shall prove example to the rest.

1:01:39 > 1:01:41Their heads and quarters shall be

1:01:41 > 1:01:44set in every town. They shall be hanged

1:01:44 > 1:01:46in villages from trees in their gardens.

1:01:46 > 1:01:49Madam, it is no new thing to see men hanged.

1:01:49 > 1:01:53I have the guidance of 3,000,000 people, a savage people.

1:01:53 > 1:01:55And fear begets obedience.

1:01:57 > 1:01:59CHORAL MUSIC

1:03:58 > 1:04:02Keep from the King! Stay back! Keep from His Grace!

1:04:12 > 1:04:16I'm ready to believe some instances of corruption.

1:04:16 > 1:04:20Priests who sell the Church's plate, jewels and timber for profit.

1:04:20 > 1:04:22Monks in bed with drabs.

1:04:22 > 1:04:27Nuns who support their bastards with Church monies! The list is endless.

1:04:27 > 1:04:31Your monks, madam, whose business is the cure of souls,

1:04:31 > 1:04:34do more traffic in images and relics.

1:04:34 > 1:04:37A lord's coat here, a lady's smock there.

1:04:37 > 1:04:40Saints' clothing to cure barren women.

1:04:40 > 1:04:42To grow corn, to stop weeds!

1:04:42 > 1:04:44And you believe such things!

1:04:44 > 1:04:47Very well, madam, I will curb your idolatry.

1:04:47 > 1:04:49Do you recognise this phial,

1:04:49 > 1:04:54which Cromwell brought from Hales for my instruction?

1:04:54 > 1:04:56Look. Look close now.

1:04:56 > 1:04:57Look at it!

1:04:57 > 1:05:02You see nothing, do you? You've not yet paid for absolution.

1:05:02 > 1:05:07But give me your coin, madam, and now you see the blood of Christ.

1:05:07 > 1:05:11It is the blood of a duck, which the monks renew once a week.

1:05:11 > 1:05:15And will you still make a god of the Pope's creatures?!

1:05:19 > 1:05:21It is not what it seems.

1:05:25 > 1:05:27SHE SOBS

1:05:39 > 1:05:41Forgive me.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46I'm a rough man, rough-tempered.

1:05:48 > 1:05:50I wouldn't have shown it to you.

1:05:52 > 1:05:54Jane.

1:05:55 > 1:05:57Jane, don't make me doubt.

1:05:57 > 1:05:59Ever. I'm...

1:05:59 > 1:06:01I'm frightened and...

1:06:01 > 1:06:04when I doubt, I strike out in blindness.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06I don't know what I say or do.

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Am I sick...perhaps, in my mind?

1:06:14 > 1:06:16Am I?

1:06:16 > 1:06:18No, sir.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21I feel so old.

1:06:22 > 1:06:24So old.

1:06:28 > 1:06:30You must rest, sir.

1:06:32 > 1:06:34HE SOBS

1:06:36 > 1:06:38Oh, Jane.

1:06:38 > 1:06:40Jane.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43If only you and I had met before,

1:06:43 > 1:06:46for I doubt now we shall have any children.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01MEDIEVAL MUSIC IN THE DISTANCE

1:07:15 > 1:07:17I can't sleep.

1:07:17 > 1:07:19This leg will not let me sleep.

1:07:19 > 1:07:21Let me call the physician.

1:07:21 > 1:07:23Oh, he can do nothing.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27- Shall I stop their music? - No, it pleases me.

1:07:27 > 1:07:32Signor Chapuys sends them to woo me on Lady Mary's behalf.

1:07:34 > 1:07:38Could Your Grace not find it in his heart to forgive her

1:07:38 > 1:07:41and bring her and little Elizabeth back?

1:07:41 > 1:07:43- Bring Mary to court? - Yes.

1:07:44 > 1:07:47She's an unnatural brat.

1:07:47 > 1:07:50But you need her, sir, as she does you.

1:07:52 > 1:07:56HE SNIGGERS Jane, Jane, Jane.

1:07:56 > 1:07:58You are a fool.

1:08:01 > 1:08:03But kind.

1:08:04 > 1:08:07The kindest soul I ever met.

1:08:07 > 1:08:09HE GROANS

1:08:10 > 1:08:14Lady Mary is the most obstinate girl that ever was.

1:08:47 > 1:08:49Good day, Bishop.

1:08:50 > 1:08:53At least the Queen has had her way in this.

1:08:53 > 1:08:56The meek shall inherit the earth.

1:08:56 > 1:08:58That's not original.

1:08:59 > 1:09:01HAMMER THUMPS

1:09:01 > 1:09:03The Lady Mary. >

1:09:11 > 1:09:14Interesting to see who can pretend the best.

1:09:14 > 1:09:17She is his daughter, m'lord.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43Sire.

1:09:43 > 1:09:48Your holy, humble and obedient servant asks your blessing.

1:09:48 > 1:09:51My dear child, rise.

1:09:52 > 1:09:54You are most welcome.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59Welcome to court.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02Mary.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10Mary.

1:10:12 > 1:10:15Some of you wanted me to put this jewel to death.

1:10:15 > 1:10:18That would have been a great pity, sir.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21To have lost your chief jewel of England.

1:10:21 > 1:10:23Sweetheart.

1:10:23 > 1:10:26Edward. If it's a boy, Edward.

1:10:29 > 1:10:33She'll be open-laced with stomach by Corpus Christi.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40SHE GASPS

1:10:52 > 1:10:54It's been 30 hours.

1:11:02 > 1:11:05The midwife says there is a choice, sir.

1:11:05 > 1:11:07Her Grace begs us to save the child.

1:11:10 > 1:11:12Oh, God.

1:11:19 > 1:11:21Let it be a son.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23SHE GASPS

1:11:31 > 1:11:33SHE SCREAMS

1:11:44 > 1:11:46Thank God, you've come.

1:11:46 > 1:11:51We've urged His Grace to accept God's pleasure in taking the Queen.

1:11:51 > 1:11:54- Is the boy healthy? - He'll have to be nursed.

1:11:54 > 1:11:56Then the King must take a new wife.

1:11:56 > 1:11:58God's blood, man.

1:11:58 > 1:12:01- You tell him that. - He's in there?

1:12:02 > 1:12:04His Grace will see no-one.

1:12:23 > 1:12:25Your Grace.

1:12:28 > 1:12:30Good day to Your Grace.

1:12:35 > 1:12:37Have you seen my son?

1:12:39 > 1:12:41Yes, sir.

1:12:41 > 1:12:43He'll live, won't he?

1:12:45 > 1:12:49He must live or there's no...reason to it all.

1:12:49 > 1:12:53Everything shall be done for his governance, sir.

1:12:54 > 1:12:56In the meantime,

1:12:56 > 1:13:01I would urge Your Grace to think of providing for a new wife.

1:13:10 > 1:13:12Leave me, Cromwell.

1:13:12 > 1:13:14But, Your Grace, sir.

1:13:15 > 1:13:18It's time to be private.

1:13:18 > 1:13:21We must consider the boy's condition, sir.

1:13:21 > 1:13:23Leave me!

1:13:25 > 1:13:28I shall never...marry again.

1:13:29 > 1:13:31You rub salt into my wound.

1:13:32 > 1:13:34Now, go.

1:13:36 > 1:13:38Go!

1:13:38 > 1:13:40Before I do you some hurt.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06Jane!

1:14:15 > 1:14:17You will guard my son well?

1:14:18 > 1:14:20Be loyal to him?

1:14:22 > 1:14:24Yes, sir.

1:14:25 > 1:14:27My Lord Hertford.

1:14:27 > 1:14:29Your Grace.

1:14:29 > 1:14:34As the boy's uncle, you should be Lord Protector.

1:14:34 > 1:14:37The succession goes to the prince...

1:14:37 > 1:14:40and the Lady Mary and then Elizabeth.

1:14:40 > 1:14:42(Guard him well.)

1:14:42 > 1:14:44(My son.)

1:14:44 > 1:14:46(Guard him.)

1:14:55 > 1:14:57- Is his food tasted? - Yes, sir.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00Everything he eats...

1:15:00 > 1:15:03There, there, come to your father.

1:15:03 > 1:15:05HE HUMS

1:15:09 > 1:15:13- He bites his lip. - His grace is cutting another tooth.

1:15:13 > 1:15:15BABY WAILS

1:15:15 > 1:15:18There, there, there, there, there.

1:15:18 > 1:15:20Here, you take him. Take him.

1:15:23 > 1:15:25He's a merry boy.

1:15:25 > 1:15:27HE SNIGGERS

1:15:31 > 1:15:34The fairest child that I ever saw, Your Majesty.

1:15:34 > 1:15:36Yes.

1:15:37 > 1:15:39Now, Ambassador,

1:15:39 > 1:15:41about Madame De Longviers.

1:15:41 > 1:15:44The lady is promised to Scotland.

1:15:44 > 1:15:49If Your Majesty would consider her sister, or Princess Madeleine.

1:15:49 > 1:15:53Monsieur, I am big in person and I have need of a big wife.

1:15:53 > 1:15:57I know. You shall bring them all to Calais for me.

1:15:57 > 1:16:00It is not possible to trot them out like horses,

1:16:00 > 1:16:04but if Your Majesty sends someone to look at them.

1:16:04 > 1:16:07I must see for myself. See them sing.

1:16:07 > 1:16:10Perhaps you would like to try one after the other

1:16:10 > 1:16:14and keep the one you find most agreeable.

1:16:14 > 1:16:18Thank you, Monsieur. We shall think on it.

1:16:27 > 1:16:30If I may protest to Your Grace.

1:16:30 > 1:16:32Yes, the Protestant League.

1:16:32 > 1:16:34You never stop suggesting it.

1:16:34 > 1:16:37It would restore the balance, sir.

1:16:37 > 1:16:42A treaty with Cleves would drive a wedge between France and the Empire.

1:16:42 > 1:16:45- Let me see that picture again. - Everyone praises

1:16:45 > 1:16:47her virtue.

1:16:47 > 1:16:49Her beauty.

1:16:49 > 1:16:50Mm.

1:16:50 > 1:16:53- But is it a likeness? Mm? - Master Holbein

1:16:53 > 1:16:56is generally faithful, sir.

1:16:56 > 1:16:59Is she musical? Does she sing and play the lute?

1:16:59 > 1:17:02I believe not, but her needlework is unsurpassed.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05Shall we weave with her, then?

1:17:05 > 1:17:07HE SNIGGERS

1:17:10 > 1:17:14What a blow to the Empire and to France

1:17:14 > 1:17:17to ask them both for brides and to take neither.

1:17:17 > 1:17:19I'll do it. I'll do it.

1:17:19 > 1:17:23I'll have this erm... Anne of Cleves.

1:17:23 > 1:17:26Send someone to negotiate the marriage.

1:17:30 > 1:17:34Where is she? Where is this paragon?

1:17:34 > 1:17:37We did not expect Your Grace at Rochester.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39The Princess Anne and her ladies...

1:17:39 > 1:17:43Get Cranmer. He cannot abide our impatience.

1:17:43 > 1:17:47We would nourish love with a suitable gift of welcome.

1:17:55 > 1:17:57Meierstaat.

1:18:03 > 1:18:05Madam.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09Welcome to England, madam.

1:18:17 > 1:18:21I trust Your highness has not suffered from her journey.

1:18:21 > 1:18:23Ja, ja.

1:18:23 > 1:18:28SHE SPEAKS FLEMISH

1:18:28 > 1:18:30Good.

1:18:30 > 1:18:32SHE SPEAKS FLEMISH

1:18:33 > 1:18:34Baroness Bremdt.

1:18:34 > 1:18:36Frau Osenbrooke.

1:18:36 > 1:18:38Baroness Locke.

1:18:38 > 1:18:41Frau Willig. Frau Swatzenbrooke.

1:18:42 > 1:18:44I will bring an interpreter, sir.

1:18:44 > 1:18:47- No, no, no, another time. - My Lord.

1:18:50 > 1:18:52Your Highness.

1:18:58 > 1:19:00Your Grace.

1:19:00 > 1:19:06Whom should a man trust in this world when there is no thing real in it?

1:19:07 > 1:19:10- Is this her likeness? - Yes.

1:19:10 > 1:19:12Where are the great pits in her face?

1:19:12 > 1:19:15She has a queenly manner, I think.

1:19:15 > 1:19:17I like her not. Do you understand?

1:19:17 > 1:19:20She is nothing fair and I like her not!

1:19:20 > 1:19:23You must find means to avoid this marriage.

1:19:23 > 1:19:26There can be no impediment now, sir.

1:19:26 > 1:19:31Not unless you wish to drive her brother into the Emperor's hands.

1:19:32 > 1:19:35I have not been well served, Cromwell.

1:19:36 > 1:19:38I have not been well served.

1:19:38 > 1:19:40LAUGHTER

1:19:40 > 1:19:43He said they wanted 3,000 of those.

1:19:57 > 1:19:59I promise you one thing.

1:20:01 > 1:20:04These strange maidens that moo about

1:20:04 > 1:20:08are going to be shipped back to Cleves in the morning.

1:20:08 > 1:20:10Yes, Your Grace.

1:20:10 > 1:20:15If I were not to satisfy my realm and people, I would not do...

1:20:15 > 1:20:17that I must do tonight.

1:20:17 > 1:20:19For no earthly thing.

1:20:20 > 1:20:22GIGGLING

1:20:39 > 1:20:41Good God, madam.

1:21:00 > 1:21:03HE GIVES BLESSING IN LATIN

1:21:03 > 1:21:05Amen.

1:21:05 > 1:21:07THEY WHISPER

1:21:12 > 1:21:15I can't touch her, Howard.

1:21:15 > 1:21:18All I say to her is good night and good morning.

1:21:18 > 1:21:23Poor men can choose their wives, but I have this great Flanders mare.

1:21:23 > 1:21:28I like her even worse now someone has told her to be more agreeable.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31Howard, she smiles at me all the time.

1:21:31 > 1:21:34Cromwell has much to gain, Your Grace.

1:21:34 > 1:21:37He received money from the Duke of Cleves

1:21:37 > 1:21:39when the marriage was celebrated.

1:21:39 > 1:21:41It shall not be consummated.

1:21:41 > 1:21:44I'll find a way to have it annulled.

1:21:44 > 1:21:48They're packing her off to Richmond for her health.

1:21:49 > 1:21:52The one thing that's pleasant in her company

1:21:52 > 1:21:55is that maid in waiting, your niece.

1:21:58 > 1:22:00We are all in sympathy with Your Grace.

1:22:02 > 1:22:05You shall think no more on it today, sir.

1:22:05 > 1:22:09But enjoy the fine dinner that my Lord Gardiner has prepared.

1:22:09 > 1:22:12Yes. I like Lambeth.

1:22:12 > 1:22:14I like Gardiner's table.

1:22:14 > 1:22:17LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

1:22:46 > 1:22:48Your little niece...

1:22:48 > 1:22:50is she a good girl?

1:22:50 > 1:22:52Irreproachable, sir.

1:22:52 > 1:22:55Of the most pure and honest condition.

1:22:55 > 1:22:57Not like another of your clan.

1:22:57 > 1:22:59Anne Boleyn.

1:22:59 > 1:23:01Oh, no, Your Grace.

1:23:02 > 1:23:04She is a good Catholic.

1:23:04 > 1:23:06Make her a grant of land.

1:23:49 > 1:23:52THEY CHAT AND LAUGH

1:23:52 > 1:23:57A young wilding to whip the stale blood and lead him back to Rome.

1:23:57 > 1:23:59But how to do it, eh, My Lord?

1:23:59 > 1:24:03We'll put it to the clergy that His Grace wedded against his will.

1:24:03 > 1:24:06It would prevent a threatened invasion.

1:24:06 > 1:24:09She'd never agree to a divorce.

1:24:09 > 1:24:14If the terms were attractive, she might become his adopted sister.

1:24:14 > 1:24:19Are you Plantagenet, my dear, but a descendent of Charlemagne.

1:24:19 > 1:24:22The College of Arms looked it up for me.

1:24:22 > 1:24:24There's Cromwell to consider.

1:24:24 > 1:24:28He's abused his betters long enough.

1:24:28 > 1:24:30She'll help rid him for us.

1:24:31 > 1:24:33Good day, then, Mistress Howard.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35Your Grace.

1:24:35 > 1:24:38For the present.

1:24:38 > 1:24:40Your Grace.

1:24:44 > 1:24:46Fine dinner, Gardiner.

1:24:46 > 1:24:48Thank you, Your Grace.

1:24:50 > 1:24:52Mm. Delightful.

1:24:55 > 1:24:57You are greatly honoured, niece.

1:24:57 > 1:25:00I had not looked for it, sir. I had...

1:25:00 > 1:25:04Mistress, you may no longer consider your own wishes.

1:25:04 > 1:25:08You now have a duty to return England to the true faith.

1:25:16 > 1:25:20- I enjoyed comfort in your house. - So much gold plate.

1:25:20 > 1:25:24And so many retainers in His Lordship's household.

1:25:24 > 1:25:26A small army.

1:25:26 > 1:25:28Ah, Cromwell.

1:25:28 > 1:25:30Your Grace.

1:25:30 > 1:25:32My Lords.

1:25:32 > 1:25:35We are pleased to see this concord.

1:25:37 > 1:25:40What's this I hear of your land enquiry?

1:25:40 > 1:25:42- Sir? - To the German princes,

1:25:42 > 1:25:45as to whether they have any castles for sale.

1:25:45 > 1:25:49- Your Grace knows how rumours fly. - No more than that?

1:25:49 > 1:25:54We should be sorry to think you're deserting us for Lutheran ground.

1:25:54 > 1:25:58- Indeed, sir.- Howard, did you look at those geldings for me?

1:25:58 > 1:26:03Shortwinded, Your Grace. I sent 'em back with their tails docked.

1:26:05 > 1:26:07Your Grace knows I would never exceed

1:26:07 > 1:26:10the limits imposed by his articles.

1:26:10 > 1:26:15I'm glad you're not going to Germany and staying here to do good service.

1:26:15 > 1:26:18- Sir, if I could... - Your Grace.

1:26:18 > 1:26:22- Good day to you, Master Wriothesley. - My Lord.

1:26:22 > 1:26:26It lies within my powers to make Your Majesty more prosperous.

1:26:26 > 1:26:29How would I reward you? You have it all.

1:26:29 > 1:26:32The Privy Seal. The Garter.

1:26:32 > 1:26:34The Vicar General.

1:26:34 > 1:26:37The Earldom of Essex and now Lord Chamberlain.

1:26:37 > 1:26:39What more could I do for you?

1:26:39 > 1:26:42Your Grace might box my head at times.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46That would not be seemly.

1:26:46 > 1:26:49But I'm keeping Your Lordship from his business.

1:26:50 > 1:26:54Concerning the validity of His Majesty's union

1:26:54 > 1:26:57and the Queen's contract with the Marquess of Lorraine.

1:26:57 > 1:27:00I thought it had been disclaimed.

1:27:00 > 1:27:02You are in a hurry to begin without me.

1:27:02 > 1:27:07She will need to stay here as security for Cleves' behaviour.

1:27:07 > 1:27:09Cromwell, do not sit there.

1:27:09 > 1:27:11It's no place for you.

1:27:11 > 1:27:14TRAITORS do not sit with gentlemen.

1:27:14 > 1:27:18My Lord of Essex, I arrest you in the King's name.

1:27:18 > 1:27:20I'm no traitor.

1:27:23 > 1:27:25Upon your conscience.

1:27:25 > 1:27:28Am I a traitor? Let me speak to the King!

1:27:30 > 1:27:35It's your own law. No man accused of treason may attend His Grace.

1:27:35 > 1:27:37Send to his house! Take him!

1:27:37 > 1:27:39Wait.

1:28:04 > 1:28:06Now...take him away!

1:28:08 > 1:28:10Traitor!

1:28:10 > 1:28:12THEY CHANT: Traitor!

1:28:20 > 1:28:22Traitors!

1:28:26 > 1:28:28But he...

1:28:28 > 1:28:30he died in the faith.

1:28:34 > 1:28:36HE SNIGGERS

1:28:36 > 1:28:38GHOSTLY FEMALE LAUGH

1:28:38 > 1:28:40Catherine?

1:28:42 > 1:28:44SHE LAUGHS

1:28:47 > 1:28:50- Velvet sarcenets. - You wanted me to have them.

1:28:50 > 1:28:53But not in such quantity, my darling.

1:28:53 > 1:28:57The treasure is not inexhaustible.

1:28:58 > 1:29:03If it were, we would have given you a public wedding at St Paul's.

1:29:03 > 1:29:05Forgive me.

1:29:08 > 1:29:10You know I can refuse you nothing.

1:29:20 > 1:29:22You woke last night in your sleep.

1:29:22 > 1:29:24You cried out.

1:29:26 > 1:29:28I was dreaming bad stuff.

1:29:28 > 1:29:30You what?

1:29:30 > 1:29:32Mm? Mm?

1:29:37 > 1:29:39There was a bird caught in the room.

1:29:39 > 1:29:42- In your dream? - Flying against the walls.

1:29:42 > 1:29:44And the bed curtain.

1:29:44 > 1:29:46And hitting the window.

1:29:50 > 1:29:52I went to free it.

1:29:55 > 1:29:57It was the devil in the shape of a bird.

1:30:00 > 1:30:05When I caught it, it cried out in the devil's voice.

1:30:06 > 1:30:08So I broke its neck.

1:30:11 > 1:30:13I...

1:30:13 > 1:30:15Blind, blind.

1:30:15 > 1:30:18I went blind, because...

1:30:24 > 1:30:26It was but a dream, sir.

1:30:26 > 1:30:28Yes, yes.

1:30:30 > 1:30:32Do you remember your cousin?

1:30:33 > 1:30:35Anne Boleyn.

1:30:35 > 1:30:39Sometimes. Only saw her the once, sir, at her coronation.

1:30:39 > 1:30:41KNOCKING

1:30:41 > 1:30:43- Your Grace. - Do you have him?

1:30:43 > 1:30:46Have I Your Grace's permission?

1:30:46 > 1:30:49Bring him in, Lady Rochford. Pick him up.

1:30:50 > 1:30:52Not another one.

1:30:52 > 1:30:55- Oh, it's delightful. - You've had three already.

1:30:55 > 1:30:58- He's for the Lady Anne. - Of Cleves?- Yes.

1:30:58 > 1:31:02Oh, the settlements I've had to make on that woman.

1:31:02 > 1:31:05The manors, the estates and now a spaniel.

1:31:05 > 1:31:08Oh, so like to have the little dog.

1:31:08 > 1:31:10May I give it to her?

1:31:10 > 1:31:12Please.

1:31:12 > 1:31:14Oh.

1:31:14 > 1:31:16It's a dear little thing.

1:31:17 > 1:31:19She can have it.

1:31:19 > 1:31:21Your Grace is so kind.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Thank you, sir.

1:31:27 > 1:31:29Oh, thank you.

1:31:31 > 1:31:33I should have listened to Cranmer.

1:31:33 > 1:31:36He said Cromwell was the best servant.

1:31:36 > 1:31:39Cromwell knew how to prod parliament.

1:31:39 > 1:31:42An unlikely plot made me put the man to death.

1:31:42 > 1:31:46We were concerned for Your Majesty's safety.

1:31:46 > 1:31:48And your own profit, no doubt.

1:31:48 > 1:31:52I know the good service of the flatterers. Now, leave me.

1:31:52 > 1:31:55Is it open? Dr Budd says it must discharge freely.

1:31:55 > 1:31:59What would you be without rank? Leave him to Culpeper.

1:32:05 > 1:32:07Does it offend you to do this?

1:32:07 > 1:32:10- No, sir. - I don't wish the Queen to see it.

1:32:10 > 1:32:13And there's no-one else I trust.

1:32:18 > 1:32:20Are you honest?

1:32:22 > 1:32:24Your Grace?

1:32:24 > 1:32:27You've only shown me loyalty.

1:32:27 > 1:32:29HE WINCES And affection.

1:32:32 > 1:32:34You might have been my son, Thomas.

1:32:38 > 1:32:40Your Grace does me much honour.

1:32:44 > 1:32:46Not too tight.

1:32:48 > 1:32:51Oh, it's strange. I was feeling so improved.

1:32:51 > 1:32:56But says the physician, it was caused by that fall I took. Remember?

1:32:56 > 1:32:58Yes, sir.

1:32:59 > 1:33:01And not God's judgment.

1:33:03 > 1:33:07I can't joust any more, but when this is healed,

1:33:07 > 1:33:12I'll rise at five, hear mass at seven and ride till dinner time.

1:33:12 > 1:33:14I should not eat so much.

1:33:14 > 1:33:16Your Grace will tire us all yet.

1:33:16 > 1:33:20There is not a man in the kingdom works harder and they know it

1:33:20 > 1:33:24- and love you for it. - Wait till our progress next month.

1:33:24 > 1:33:27I'll be hunting up North and game aplenty.

1:33:28 > 1:33:30- Is it done? - Yes, sir.

1:33:32 > 1:33:34Off with you.

1:33:54 > 1:33:56DISTANT GIGGLING

1:34:08 > 1:34:11GIGGLING CONTINUES

1:34:37 > 1:34:39YELLING

1:34:48 > 1:34:49HE GROWLS COMICALLY

1:34:49 > 1:34:51SHE GIGGLES

1:35:29 > 1:35:32Come. Now we shall ride out together.

1:35:35 > 1:35:37THUNDER ROLLS

1:36:05 > 1:36:07Come on. Down you get.

1:36:12 > 1:36:14Oh.

1:36:14 > 1:36:18# I think of them that I think of most

1:36:18 > 1:36:21# And I think of them in their peep-into-holes

1:36:21 > 1:36:25# Creep is up and creep is down and peep into holes. #

1:36:25 > 1:36:27Come here, you rat catcher.

1:36:29 > 1:36:31You can go now.

1:36:31 > 1:36:33Your Grace.

1:36:39 > 1:36:41Who's that man?

1:36:42 > 1:36:44The new secretary, sir.

1:36:47 > 1:36:49I've not seen him before.

1:36:49 > 1:36:52He was in attendance on my grandmother.

1:36:53 > 1:36:55THUNDER ROLLS

1:36:57 > 1:36:59His name?

1:36:59 > 1:37:01Dereham, sir.

1:37:02 > 1:37:05Mm.

1:37:25 > 1:37:27We can't have you taking ill.

1:37:27 > 1:37:30You've looked something pale of late.

1:37:30 > 1:37:32Pinching your cheeks.

1:37:32 > 1:37:34No, sir, I'm in good health.

1:37:34 > 1:37:36Mm.

1:37:37 > 1:37:39Are you with child?

1:37:39 > 1:37:41No, sir.

1:37:43 > 1:37:45HE SIGHS

1:37:51 > 1:37:54I had a special jewel made for you, madam.

1:37:54 > 1:37:56A jewel, sir?

1:37:56 > 1:37:59I had hoped to have given it to you by now.

1:37:59 > 1:38:01- Do you have it here? - Mm.

1:38:01 > 1:38:03Will you show it to me?

1:38:04 > 1:38:08It was to have been a reward, but I see it must be a pledge instead.

1:38:11 > 1:38:13This.

1:38:16 > 1:38:18Beautiful, it is.

1:38:22 > 1:38:24You should know I read bad, sir.

1:38:26 > 1:38:28A rose without a thorn.

1:38:33 > 1:38:35Take it, Catherine.

1:38:37 > 1:38:39Wear it now.

1:38:53 > 1:38:55My very little girl.

1:39:07 > 1:39:09HE GUFFAWS

1:39:09 > 1:39:12We are pleased to learn your subjects in the North

1:39:12 > 1:39:15showed such gratifying repentance.

1:39:15 > 1:39:17And such gratifying coin, my lords.

1:39:17 > 1:39:20And the Prince has returned to health.

1:39:20 > 1:39:25We asked our holy father of Lincoln to draw up a thanksgiving for this.

1:39:25 > 1:39:28And for our good life with the Queen.

1:39:28 > 1:39:33- Sir... - And know this, my Lord Archbishop,

1:39:33 > 1:39:37we will NOT have her Grace subjected to malicious gossip.

1:39:37 > 1:39:42We will NOT have secret papers thrust into our hands.

1:39:42 > 1:39:44Nor will we believe such CALUMNIES,

1:39:44 > 1:39:49coming, as they do, from the Protestant members of this counsel.

1:39:51 > 1:39:53Your Grace will have to know

1:39:53 > 1:39:55that since our first discoveries, certain examinations

1:39:55 > 1:39:57have been conducted.

1:39:57 > 1:39:59Gropings, you mean. The Rack.

1:39:59 > 1:40:02No, sir, enquiries into her childhood.

1:40:02 > 1:40:07Confessions made by waiting women in her grandmother's house.

1:40:07 > 1:40:09You believe servants' gossip?

1:40:09 > 1:40:13Sir, that evidence is well substantiated and can be confirmed

1:40:13 > 1:40:17by my Lord Admiral and the Duke of Suffolk.

1:40:17 > 1:40:20You have been busy, haven't you?

1:40:20 > 1:40:24Your Grace requested me to verify the facts.

1:40:24 > 1:40:27For our protection. To prevent slander.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30My Lord, I eat clerks! I don't listen to them!

1:40:46 > 1:40:50Your Grace, we have indeed talked with the gentlewomen,

1:40:50 > 1:40:54who were in service to the Duchess of Norfolk.

1:40:54 > 1:40:57Several of them were privy to the Queen's guilt.

1:40:57 > 1:41:02And can testify to the impure life led by Her Grace

1:41:02 > 1:41:04before her marriage to you.

1:41:05 > 1:41:07I give it no credence.

1:41:08 > 1:41:14The lesser misconduct took place with one Mannox, a musician,

1:41:14 > 1:41:16when Her Grace was 13 years of age.

1:41:16 > 1:41:20The more culpable was a Master Dereham.

1:41:21 > 1:41:23Dereham...

1:41:25 > 1:41:28With the scar on his face.

1:41:28 > 1:41:33Both these men were subsequently examined by Your Grace's secretary.

1:41:35 > 1:41:40Dereham admits he was accustomed to visit Her Grace's chamber at night

1:41:40 > 1:41:45and that they exchanged many gifts and love tokens.

1:41:49 > 1:41:51You told me she was pure.

1:41:51 > 1:41:55That there was no impediment to her marriage!

1:41:55 > 1:41:59Dereham denies any familiarity with the Queen since her marriage.

1:42:01 > 1:42:03And this was some years ago?

1:42:04 > 1:42:06Yes, Your Grace.

1:42:11 > 1:42:14She's always shown perfect love to me.

1:42:14 > 1:42:19Your Grace must consider Dereham has been taken into the Queen's service.

1:42:19 > 1:42:22Thus proving her intention to wrong Your Grace.

1:42:22 > 1:42:25And therefore presumptive treason.

1:42:25 > 1:42:28The musician confesses to having felt the secrets

1:42:28 > 1:42:30and other parts of the Queen's body,

1:42:30 > 1:42:35to having seen a private mark on her body. The other openly declares

1:42:35 > 1:42:37he has known her carnally many times

1:42:37 > 1:42:40and in the presence of these servants.

1:42:48 > 1:42:50HE SOBS

1:43:30 > 1:43:32GIGGLING

1:43:56 > 1:43:58CLATTER OF HOOVES

1:44:05 > 1:44:07Henry.

1:44:07 > 1:44:11Your guilt is clear and your life forfeit by the law.

1:44:11 > 1:44:14But the King extends his mercy to you.

1:44:14 > 1:44:17He believes your sins were committed in ignorance.

1:44:17 > 1:44:21If you acknowledge and make confession of them,

1:44:21 > 1:44:23you will not suffer from it.

1:44:24 > 1:44:27I thank the King for his mercy.

1:44:28 > 1:44:30For all his goodness.

1:44:31 > 1:44:33I'm sorry if I have wronged him.

1:44:33 > 1:44:35He's been most kind to me.

1:44:35 > 1:44:39Madam, answer me now, truly and faithfully, by the sacrament

1:44:39 > 1:44:42you received on Allhallows.

1:44:48 > 1:44:50Did you not lie with Master Dereham?

1:44:54 > 1:44:56You are on holy oath, madam.

1:45:00 > 1:45:02I was constrained to it.

1:45:02 > 1:45:04Yes.

1:45:04 > 1:45:06Without my will or consent.

1:45:06 > 1:45:08And you called him husband?

1:45:08 > 1:45:11You were, in fact, promised to him.

1:45:11 > 1:45:12Never. No, sir.

1:45:12 > 1:45:15Madam, think now. I beg of you.

1:45:15 > 1:45:17I am trying to help Your Grace.

1:45:18 > 1:45:21If you acknowledge pre-contract,

1:45:21 > 1:45:25you are a bigamist, but you may still be divorced.

1:45:25 > 1:45:27There was no pre-contract.

1:45:30 > 1:45:34I am a Howard, sir, and Master Dereham a poor creature.

1:45:35 > 1:45:37I was foolish with him, yes.

1:45:37 > 1:45:41But he has not touched me, nor looked upon me,

1:45:41 > 1:45:44except in honour, since I married with the king.

1:45:44 > 1:45:48- For good reason, which he admits. - What reason?

1:45:48 > 1:45:50He was supplanted by another.

1:45:50 > 1:45:54He was succeeded in Your Grace's attentions by Thomas Culpeper.

1:46:00 > 1:46:02Oh, sir.

1:46:03 > 1:46:06Oh, your goodness, help me. I beg you.

1:46:06 > 1:46:08Help me.

1:46:08 > 1:46:10I would have wed him.

1:46:11 > 1:46:13And been his wife.

1:46:16 > 1:46:18But they worked on me, sir.

1:46:18 > 1:46:22My Lord Norfolk, Gardiner, my grandmother.

1:46:22 > 1:46:25Talking, whispering together.

1:46:25 > 1:46:29Talking till I was dazzled. Till I was bound to the King.

1:46:29 > 1:46:33SHE BECOMES INCOHERENT

1:46:33 > 1:46:35You must calm yourself.

1:46:35 > 1:46:37- Don't touch me! - Your Grace.

1:46:37 > 1:46:39You all handle me.

1:46:40 > 1:46:42SHE SOBS

1:46:48 > 1:46:50Your Lordship's a good man.

1:46:54 > 1:46:56She was the devil.

1:46:56 > 1:46:58My cousin.

1:46:58 > 1:47:00They broke her neck for it.

1:47:00 > 1:47:02She died well, they say.

1:47:02 > 1:47:04No...

1:47:04 > 1:47:06SHE SOBS

1:47:18 > 1:47:20Culpeper!

1:47:22 > 1:47:24Thomas!

1:47:26 > 1:47:28Thomas Culpeper!

1:47:30 > 1:47:32No!

1:47:32 > 1:47:35Nooooooooooo! HE WAILS

1:48:11 > 1:48:14HE GIVES LATIN BLESSING

1:48:40 > 1:48:42SQUAWKS

1:48:56 > 1:48:58Signor Chapuys!

1:48:59 > 1:49:01Good day, Your Excellency.

1:49:01 > 1:49:05- I must see His Majesty. - Not now. He won't hear of business.

1:49:05 > 1:49:08He diverts himself in the field lately.

1:49:08 > 1:49:10But France has broken the peace

1:49:10 > 1:49:13and attacks the Emperor in his lands.

1:49:16 > 1:49:19If I make war on France, Signor, I shall lose...

1:49:20 > 1:49:22..their annual tribute.

1:49:23 > 1:49:26Is the Emperor prepared to recompense me?

1:49:28 > 1:49:32But, sir, you have already concluded with His Imperial Highness

1:49:32 > 1:49:35to campaign against the common enemy.

1:49:36 > 1:49:39How do I know he will keep his word?

1:49:41 > 1:49:43I've been cheated too often, Signor.

1:49:45 > 1:49:47I'm quite independent.

1:49:47 > 1:49:51If people want me, they may come forward.

1:49:51 > 1:49:55- With offers. - Your Majesty, may I remind you...?

1:49:55 > 1:49:56Edward! >

1:49:56 > 1:49:58Edward!

1:50:02 > 1:50:04Are you all right? >

1:50:20 > 1:50:23Mistress Parr, you like children, I think.

1:50:25 > 1:50:27I am not unused to them, sir.

1:50:29 > 1:50:35Since your husband's death, I have seen you many times at court, madam.

1:50:39 > 1:50:42Your house is known for its entertainment.

1:50:44 > 1:50:47My husband left me well provided, sir.

1:50:48 > 1:50:49You...

1:50:49 > 1:50:53you favour...the new faith,

1:50:53 > 1:50:56do you not, madam?

1:50:56 > 1:51:02I favour toleration, sir, and freedom of conscience.

1:51:05 > 1:51:07Many Protestants visit with you,

1:51:07 > 1:51:12among them Sir Thomas Seymour who's been paying you advances.

1:51:16 > 1:51:18Are you promised to him?

1:51:21 > 1:51:23No, sir.

1:51:23 > 1:51:25Because I, um...

1:51:28 > 1:51:30I know you for a lady of good fame...

1:51:32 > 1:51:35..serious and well learned, madam. You...

1:51:36 > 1:51:38..have that reputation.

1:51:41 > 1:51:44In short, I wish to wed with you.

1:51:49 > 1:51:51Your Majesty.

1:51:53 > 1:51:55Well?

1:51:57 > 1:52:01Your Majesty would find me ill-chosen for a wife.

1:52:01 > 1:52:04- Why? - On account of my beliefs.

1:52:07 > 1:52:10- You think them so different? - By your pardon, sir.

1:52:11 > 1:52:13Yes?

1:52:13 > 1:52:18When a boy of 15 can be tied to a stake at Smithfield and burnt

1:52:18 > 1:52:19for his faith.

1:52:19 > 1:52:22Speaking against the Sacrament is a sin,

1:52:22 > 1:52:26- and tolerating it a worse sin. - Then I must be a great sinner,

1:52:26 > 1:52:28and no fit wife for Your Grace.

1:52:29 > 1:52:31Besides, I have no children,

1:52:31 > 1:52:33nor hope of issue.

1:52:35 > 1:52:39You said yourself, my children should have a home.

1:52:40 > 1:52:42And...

1:52:45 > 1:52:47And I...

1:52:47 > 1:52:49desire company, madam.

1:52:50 > 1:52:52I would not be alone.

1:52:54 > 1:52:56Not alone.

1:53:08 > 1:53:13# You bade me with a kiss. #

1:53:19 > 1:53:21And now you shall try.

1:53:22 > 1:53:24Oh, that was the wrong key.

1:53:25 > 1:53:28Ooh, no. False note, my boy.

1:53:28 > 1:53:31Here. Pluck this. Pluck this.

1:53:31 > 1:53:37# In this meadow, you bade me with a... #

1:53:40 > 1:53:42You see, brother?

1:53:42 > 1:53:44He has found peace at last.

1:53:45 > 1:53:49Of a kind, sir. A sort of peace.

1:53:49 > 1:53:51A strange sort of love.

1:54:33 > 1:54:35Send for Cranmer quickly.

1:54:45 > 1:54:48Your Grace

1:54:48 > 1:54:51must prepare to meet his God.

1:54:54 > 1:54:57What judge sends you to pass this sentence?

1:55:00 > 1:55:03Your physician, sir.

1:55:03 > 1:55:05They can do no more.

1:55:05 > 1:55:09Will Your Grace make confession now?

1:55:14 > 1:55:16To Cranmer?

1:55:18 > 1:55:21HENRY LAUGHS WHEEZILY

1:55:24 > 1:55:26HENRY COUGHS

1:55:28 > 1:55:30For my body...

1:55:32 > 1:55:35..let it be laid at Windsor.

1:55:35 > 1:55:37Yes, Your Grace.

1:55:40 > 1:55:42With her.

1:55:45 > 1:55:48With Jane.

1:56:06 > 1:56:08Your Grace,

1:56:08 > 1:56:11do you die in the faith of Christ?

1:56:16 > 1:56:18Do you die in Christ's faith, sir?

1:57:01 > 1:57:06'Of your charity, pray for the soul of the most high and mighty prince,

1:57:06 > 1:57:09'our late Sovereign Lord, King Henry VIII.
