1
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:25,170
Sir Thomas.
2
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:27,750
What's the news?
3
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,510
This matter hangs like a fever:
one day good, another bad.
4
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:35,930
With the promise of a pardon and the
threat of an advancing royal army...
5
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,720
...the rebels in Lincolnshire
have dispersed and gone home.
6
00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:41,600
And in Yorkshire?
7
00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:52,110
In Yorkshire and the whole North...
8
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,320
...we are facing the most dangerous
insurrection that has ever been seen.
9
00:01:56,490 --> 00:02:01,080
The rebels entered the town of York
three days ago and celebrated Mass.
10
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:04,120
Some say they intend
to march south.
11
00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:15,680
Right behind me...
12
00:02:21,930 --> 00:02:24,190
You know what they say...
13
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:28,480
Your Majesty,
I write to you on an urgent matter.
14
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:32,780
We have had word that a pilgrim army
is marching on Pontefract Castle...
15
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:35,320
...which is under my command.
16
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,320
I am compelled to tell you...
17
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:42,500
...that I cannot defend this castle
without more soldiers and arms.
18
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:45,370
As the warden
of the East Marches...
19
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:48,290
...and a loyal member
of Your Majesty's council...
20
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:53,510
...I beg Your Majesty to consider
negotiating with these pilgrims.
21
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:59,760
I remain your humble
and obedient servant, Darcy.
22
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,360
What is it? What have you found?
23
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:17,280
A splinter of bone, Your Majesty.
24
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:21,200
You told me before it was an ulcer
and easily cured.
25
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,080
-A wound like this, Your Majesty--
-Jesus Christ.
26
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:29,000
-You don't know what it is, do you?
-Your Majesty must not be alarmed.
27
00:03:29,170 --> 00:03:33,130
We shall apply a poultice to draw
any more splinters to the surface.
28
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,380
Then we shall look
to other remedies...
29
00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:39,340
...to heal permanently
Your Majesty's wound.
30
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:42,140
You treat me like a fool.
31
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:45,560
Everyone here treats me like a fool.
32
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:49,150
Get out. Get out!
33
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,820
Your Majesty.
34
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:54,230
Quacks and charlatans.
35
00:03:55,570 --> 00:03:57,320
I'll find my own remedies.
36
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:18,590
Your Grace.
37
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,640
My lord, I was promised artillery
when I arrived here...
38
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,100
...but I don't see any guns.
39
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:25,930
Your Grace, we have guns...
40
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:30,270
...but have been not been able to find
any horses or drays to transport them.
41
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:34,270
Perhaps you don't understand.
42
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,940
I am about the king's
most urgent business.
43
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:40,240
And if you cannot commandeer
enough horses for His Majesty's use...
44
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,240
...how can you call yourself mayor?
45
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:44,950
Your Grace, I did not want
to produce panic...
46
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,500
...by forcing people
to part with their horses or drays.
47
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,620
Idiot.
48
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:54,790
I charge you, personally, to find
enough horses within two days...
49
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,420
...and bring the guns on
after our army...
50
00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:00,130
...or, God help me,
I will hold you to account.
51
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,180
With any luck, Mr. Mayor...
52
00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:06,390
...I will afterwards get the chance
to see you disembowelled at Tyburn.
53
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Onward.
54
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,150
Onward.
55
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:20,150
-Lady Rochford?
-Madam.
56
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,660
The king is still confined to his
chambers by his physicians' orders...
57
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:27,040
...but sends his regrets
and hopes you are well.
58
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:32,710
I worry for him so much.
Especially at such a time.
59
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:34,710
Well, Your Majesty is right to do so.
60
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:37,880
These rebels
are nothing but villains.
61
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:41,670
They are totally alienated
from true religion.
62
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,470
They want to take us back to the dark
days of ignorance and superstition.
63
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,020
And by force.
64
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:51,270
I hope to God
they will soon be overcome.
65
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:53,270
Yes.
66
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,190
Lady Rochford, I have something
I wish you to arrange.
67
00:05:57,860 --> 00:06:01,280
I'm sure it will give the king
a great deal of pleasure.
68
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:05,450
Positions!
69
00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:26,840
My God, Lord Darcy.
70
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:29,560
What a sight is there.
71
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,100
Arrant rebels
against the king's majesty...
72
00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:35,190
...brazenly bearing
their badges of shame.
73
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:37,360
Indeed so, Your Grace.
74
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,400
I never thought in all my long days
to see such a sight.
75
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:44,860
What are you going to do?
Fire on them?
76
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:48,450
You know very well
I have almost no useful guns.
77
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:51,620
Well, you could resist them
all the same, and close your gates.
78
00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:54,910
After all, those are the king's orders.
79
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,630
As to that,
I think it better to talk to them first...
80
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:04,590
...as fellow Englishmen
and fellow Christians.
81
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,970
I'll meet their leaders in the gatehouse
outside the castle walls. Guards.
82
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:31,200
My Lord Darcy, Your Grace...
83
00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:32,700
...we come here in peace.
84
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:35,460
Mr. Aske,
as the king's representative...
85
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:40,920
...I have the means here to hinder you
and to do some injury to your cause.
86
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:43,550
We have embarked upon
this Pilgrimage of Grace...
87
00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:45,210
...for the common good...
88
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,510
...for the love we bear to God's faith,
our church and the maintenance of it.
89
00:07:50,140 --> 00:07:52,720
For the preservation
of our sovereign king...
90
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:57,480
...and the expulsion of villains' blood
and evil councillors.
91
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,560
We mean to petition
the king's highness...
92
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:04,230
...to stop the woeful destruction
of our monasteries and abbeys.
93
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,820
Master Aske,
you claim to be loyal to the king...
94
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:13,120
...but your very actions defy
and deny the king's supremacy.
95
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,490
Lord Archbishop...
96
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:17,160
...there is no man now
alive in England...
97
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,040
...more loyal to the king than I.
98
00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:21,330
And I trust in time to prove it.
99
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,050
Our quarrel lies not with him,
but only with those close to him.
100
00:08:25,210 --> 00:08:27,550
It's well for you
to sound so high and mighty...
101
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,090
...but it's you and your kind
who are also to blame...
102
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,510
...for not advising the king
honestly...
103
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:38,100
...about the spread of heresy and abuse
throughout his kingdom.
104
00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:40,600
For what are Cromwell
and Cranmer...
105
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:45,230
...but heretics and manifest abusers
of this commonwealth?
106
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,860
Lord Darcy, as I told you...
107
00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:50,700
...we mean no displeasure
to any person.
108
00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:53,700
We ask for shelter and free passage.
109
00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:56,370
All our pilgrims here
have taken an oath...
110
00:08:56,540 --> 00:09:01,710
...not to slay or murder out of envy...
111
00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:05,210
...but to put away fear
for the commonwealth...
112
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:10,880
...and march with the cross of Christ
and their heart's faith before them.
113
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:15,720
But we will fight and die...
114
00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:18,770
...if you seek to stop us.
115
00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:26,690
I'm putting you in charge
of defences here in the city.
116
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:29,900
We shall need to organise
new levies.
117
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,820
Send word to every lord
to be ready with his power.
118
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:36,080
Take all the weapons, harness
and ordnance you need from the tower.
119
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Buy more if you need to
from the merchants in the city.
120
00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:42,460
Then it's true. We are in trouble.
121
00:09:43,830 --> 00:09:47,170
Mr. Cromwell,
His Majesty will receive you now.
122
00:10:02,390 --> 00:10:05,100
I've just received a letter
from Lord Darcy.
123
00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:10,690
He says he's in great danger
and cannot maintain his resistance.
124
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:16,200
And yet he holds a castle,
a great stronghold.
125
00:10:16,370 --> 00:10:18,790
Does he not mean to stand
against these traitors?
126
00:10:18,950 --> 00:10:21,120
Your Majesty, I've just been told...
127
00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:24,170
...the rebels have already entered
the town of Pontefract...
128
00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:27,290
...with overwhelming numbers.
129
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Mr. Cromwell...
130
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:39,510
...Pontefract
is the gateway to the South.
131
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,480
It has great strategic importance.
132
00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:47,730
You will write a letter
to Lord Darcy at once.
133
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:53,360
You will tell him that I expect him
to hold that castle at all costs.
134
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:55,950
Yes, Your Majesty.
135
00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:57,990
And what of the royal army?
136
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,160
What are they doing
to crush this rebellion?
137
00:11:00,330 --> 00:11:02,250
Where is His Grace,
the Duke of Suffolk?
138
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,370
And that bastard, Shrewsbury.
I told him too.
139
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:12,460
What in God's name
are these men doing?
140
00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:32,110
-Gentlemen, men of York, friends.
-Lord Darcy.
141
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,320
My lord.
142
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,870
Darcy and York have betrayed me.
143
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:43,330
Well, we shall see
what end they come to.
144
00:11:43,490 --> 00:11:46,040
And why haven't Shrewsbury
and Suffolk attacked yet?
145
00:11:46,210 --> 00:11:51,040
All I hear are their complaints
and their excuses.
146
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:52,840
You know what I think?
147
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,420
I think they've become afraid
of their own shadows.
148
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:58,630
I have a mind to go north myself.
149
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,390
I'll lead the army.
150
00:12:00,550 --> 00:12:03,560
I'll teach these bastard ingrates
and rebels...
151
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,230
...a fearful bloody lesson
in slaughter.
152
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,240
I wish Your Majesty
would not consider doing so.
153
00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:21,910
Why?
Do you suppose I'm too feeble?
154
00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:25,240
I meant that Your Majesty's life
is too precious to be put at risk...
155
00:12:25,410 --> 00:12:27,750
...against such a common rabble.
156
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:30,500
If you chose to go,
you'd be like a lion among wolves.
157
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:34,590
Sir Francis,
I don't require you to flatter me.
158
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:36,260
No, Your Majesty.
159
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:39,680
Send a plain message to Suffolk.
160
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,260
Ask him why he refuses
to obey my command...
161
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:44,140
...and ask him if he is a coward.
162
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:45,350
Majesty.
163
00:12:45,510 --> 00:12:46,770
And Mr. Cromwell.
164
00:12:46,930 --> 00:12:50,270
If things go badly,
I'll know well enough who to blame.
165
00:12:58,530 --> 00:13:00,990
Can I get Your Majesty
anything for your pain?
166
00:13:03,410 --> 00:13:07,500
Yes. I believe you can.
167
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:32,650
Your Grace,
the Earl of Shrewsbury is here.
168
00:13:36,770 --> 00:13:39,320
-My lord.
-Your Grace.
169
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:41,070
Men, dismissed.
170
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,030
-Your Grace.
-Your Grace.
171
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:53,250
We meet at a desperate moment,
my lord.
172
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,170
Not only are the rebel forces
overwhelmingly strong against us...
173
00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:00,550
...but those men I do have
I cannot altogether trust.
174
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,340
Many think the rebels' quarrels
to be good and godly.
175
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,020
Still, the king has urged us
to attack as soon as possible.
176
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,560
His Majesty would not do so
if he saw our plight with his own eyes.
177
00:14:14,730 --> 00:14:15,980
I've almost no horsemen...
178
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:19,030
...and those I do have
are rather the flower of the North.
179
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:23,360
It is not possible to give battle
knowing defeat to be a certainty.
180
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:24,910
Do you have some other plan?
181
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:27,070
-I intend to parley with them.
-Parley?
182
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,540
My lord, it's our first duty to stop
them escaping and marching south.
183
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:34,960
If they are talking,
they are not marching.
184
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,380
Then you must tell the king.
185
00:14:47,050 --> 00:14:48,850
Shrewsbury's forces are here.
186
00:14:49,010 --> 00:14:50,770
Suffolk's here, not far from Newark.
187
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560
It seems that they had originally
planned to hold a line here...
188
00:14:54,730 --> 00:14:58,560
...along the River Trent,
to block our advance southwards.
189
00:14:58,730 --> 00:15:00,570
How strong are they?
190
00:15:00,730 --> 00:15:03,610
-We think Shrewsbury's men are 6000.
-Aye.
191
00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:05,490
Suffolk's a lot less.
192
00:15:05,650 --> 00:15:08,530
They also lack horse and cannon.
193
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,240
And how many are we?
194
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:15,410
By my reckoning,
somewhere over 30,000.
195
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:17,290
Thirty thousand.
196
00:15:17,790 --> 00:15:21,590
We've kept large forces here...
197
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:25,420
...at Doncaster, at Jervaulx Abbey...
198
00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:30,550
...and we're presently laying siege
to Cumberland's castle at Skipton.
199
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,430
North of the River Don...
200
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,440
...we have almost
complete control of the country.
201
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,900
Let them come onto us.
202
00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:46,780
With God on our side, Mr. Aske,
we shall prevail.
203
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:54,200
Poor you, Your Majesty.
204
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,370
Pour the ointment over it.
205
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:03,800
I smell sorrel and...
206
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Linseed?
207
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:09,970
Meadow plant, crushed pearls,
herbs of grace, other things.
208
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:12,300
I concocted it myself.
I don't trust physicians.
209
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:15,020
Hold still.
210
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,480
You're very brave, Lady Misseldon.
211
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,310
Braver, I think, than my captains.
212
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:24,820
And much more beautiful.
213
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,660
There, it is done.
214
00:16:32,830 --> 00:16:34,830
I trust Your Majesty
is more comfortable.
215
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:44,880
Does Your Majesty wish me to stay?
216
00:17:03,270 --> 00:17:04,900
It seems we were wrong
to suppose...
217
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,280
...the king would realise his mistakes
and the dangers to his soul.
218
00:17:11,450 --> 00:17:13,910
Instead, he continues
to encourage Cromwell...
219
00:17:14,070 --> 00:17:19,290
...to vandalize and defile the houses
of God and steal their treasures.
220
00:17:19,460 --> 00:17:22,830
All for his own use and pleasure.
221
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:27,460
And yet, even in the darkness,
there is light.
222
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:32,380
I mean,
this great uprising of the faithful.
223
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:34,970
This Pilgrimage of Grace.
224
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:36,930
I have heard of it too.
225
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:40,060
The pilgrims who march
beneath the banner of Christ.
226
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:43,730
The Holy Father asks you
to write a pamphlet in English...
227
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:48,400
...denouncing the king
and his advisers as heretics.
228
00:17:48,570 --> 00:17:49,610
Of course.
229
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,910
-I'll start work on it straight away.
-No, no, wait, wait.
230
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:57,910
His Holiness needs more from you
than just your signature.
231
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,660
With my encouragement...
232
00:17:59,830 --> 00:18:03,540
...he has decided to appoint you
an official legate.
233
00:18:03,710 --> 00:18:06,920
You will travel to France
and to the Low Countries...
234
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:11,470
...and meet representatives
of the king and the emperor.
235
00:18:11,630 --> 00:18:13,880
-Eminence?
-You will persuade them...
236
00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:18,510
...to provide monies, arms
and mercenaries...
237
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,190
...to support
this most holy crusade in England.
238
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,360
If that is what His Holiness
asks me to do...
239
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,780
...then of course I will do it,
like an obedient son to a father.
240
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:39,120
His Holiness has agreed
to make you a cardinal.
241
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,790
And here is your biretta.
242
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:45,460
I cannot accept.
243
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Why not?
244
00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:50,300
I'm not worthy.
245
00:18:50,460 --> 00:18:53,260
In other words,
you prefer your own judgement...
246
00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:55,720
...to that of the pope,
your Holy Father.
247
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,720
No doubt you suppose
that makes you seem humble.
248
00:19:00,350 --> 00:19:05,810
But, actually,
it is the sin of pride, Father Pole.
249
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:15,200
His Grace informs Your Majesty...
250
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,320
...he has no choice in the matter
but to treat with them.
251
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:23,160
In so doing, he hopes to bring the
nobles and the gentry to treachery...
252
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:24,870
...and for their own interests...
253
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,580
...they will disown the commons
if promised a pardon...
254
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:29,750
...as, in fact,
happened in Lincolnshire.
255
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:32,840
They are not all to be pardoned.
256
00:19:33,010 --> 00:19:37,340
Not the leaders. Never the leaders.
257
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:41,180
But what terms does Lord Suffolk
intend to offer to make them go home?
258
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:45,680
His Grace does not go into details...
259
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:50,860
...but to allay Your Majesty's fears,
he writes, in his own hand:
260
00:19:51,020 --> 00:19:53,150
"I beseech Your Majesty
to take in good part...
261
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,940
...whatever promises
I shall make to these rebels...
262
00:19:56,110 --> 00:20:00,490
...for surely I shall never
keep any of them."
263
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:15,550
-Cavalry, ready?
-Yes, sir.
264
00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:17,720
Arms, double your front to the right.
265
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,550
-Arms, double--
-Yes, sir.
266
00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:25,270
Aye, captain.
267
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:35,980
Alas, you unhappy men.
268
00:20:36,570 --> 00:20:39,410
What fancy, what folly
has led and seduced you...
269
00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:41,820
...to make this
most shameful rebellion...
270
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:46,120
...against a most noble
and righteous king and sovereign?
271
00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:58,090
Are you not ashamed?
272
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,430
How can you do this?
273
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:04,760
Not only giving offence
to your natural sovereign lord...
274
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:07,060
...but giving us occasion
to fight with you...
275
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,270
...that have loved you more
than any other...
276
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,650
...and have always taken you
for our best friends.
277
00:21:12,810 --> 00:21:17,690
Your Grace,
we mean no offence to His Majesty.
278
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,530
But we have a petition which
we desire humbly to submit to him...
279
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:30,210
...for the restoration of many things
which have gone amiss in this realm.
280
00:21:30,370 --> 00:21:35,630
We demand the restoration
of our abbeys and our ancient rights.
281
00:21:35,790 --> 00:21:37,800
And that a new Parliament
to be summoned...
282
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,470
...to address the people's
sincere grievances.
283
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,730
I can decide nothing here.
284
00:21:49,890 --> 00:21:51,140
But I propose a truce...
285
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,690
...during which time,
two of your captains...
286
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:58,480
...can take your petition
and present it to His Majesty.
287
00:21:59,190 --> 00:22:02,320
The truce be maintained
until they return.
288
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,910
We don't need a truce, we're no fools.
289
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,830
My Lord Darcy,
can we talk a moment?
290
00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:30,560
My Lord Darcy,
you more than anyone here...
291
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,230
...has cause to be grateful
to the king for his bounty...
292
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:40,360
...for the trust he reposes in you
and would like to repose in you still.
293
00:22:40,820 --> 00:22:46,030
And yet here I find you consorting
with rebels and traitors.
294
00:22:46,620 --> 00:22:48,530
For my part, I have been...
295
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,700
...and always will be true to the king,
our sovereign lord...
296
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:55,250
...as I was to his father before him.
297
00:22:55,420 --> 00:23:00,960
If you are as true and loyal as
you say, then you can prove it to us...
298
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:04,300
...by giving over your captain,
Mr. Aske, into our hands.
299
00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:07,890
Sir, that I cannot and will not do.
300
00:23:08,050 --> 00:23:10,600
For a man who promises
to be true to someone...
301
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,930
...then betrays him,
may truly be called a traitor.
302
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:20,940
His Majesty, the king.
303
00:23:23,650 --> 00:23:25,150
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
304
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,780
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
305
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:28,280
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
306
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:29,830
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
307
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:31,240
Your Majesty.
308
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:32,950
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.
309
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:37,170
-Madam.
-Your Majesty.
310
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,250
It makes me happy
to see you much improved.
311
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:42,250
I have a good physician.
312
00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:44,300
Nevertheless,
I intend we shall visit...
313
00:23:44,460 --> 00:23:47,760
...the shrine of Sir Thomas Becket
and give our thanks.
314
00:23:48,550 --> 00:23:50,260
I have arranged for something else...
315
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:53,680
...which I hope, with all my heart,
will make you very happy.
316
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,940
Your Majesty, the Lady Mary Tudor.
317
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,500
I ask Your Majesty for his blessing.
318
00:24:19,630 --> 00:24:20,670
My own daughter.
319
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:27,300
May I present you to Her Majesty,
Queen Jane?
320
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,470
I remember
some of you were desirous...
321
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,810
...that I should put
this jewel to death.
322
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:44,980
I've got you. You're safe.
323
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,030
Be of good cheer, Mary.
324
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,160
For I swear,
nothing now will go against you.
325
00:25:01,210 --> 00:25:03,040
Continue.
326
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,170
-Are you happy?
-Yes, Your Majesty.
327
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,220
His Majesty agreed to give you
lodgings at Hampton...
328
00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:13,720
...and others at Greenwich Palace.
329
00:25:13,890 --> 00:25:16,970
I have seen them both.
They're beautiful.
330
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:22,190
I am very grateful
to His Majesty and to you.
331
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:25,570
Everyone says
my daughter is innocent...
332
00:25:25,730 --> 00:25:29,280
...that she doesn't know
any unclean or foul speech.
333
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:31,860
Do you believe that?
334
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:35,780
Do you believe that anybody
could be that innocent?
335
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,330
Go and find out.
336
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,880
Lady Mary.
337
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:55,510
I wanted to apologise
for my behaviour.
338
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,390
I hope you can find it in your heart
to forgive me.
339
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,100
I will try, Sir Francis.
340
00:26:00,890 --> 00:26:02,890
Jesus asks us to forgive everyone.
341
00:26:03,940 --> 00:26:06,360
-Do you like games, Lady Mary?
-Yes.
342
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,900
There is a new game at court
you might enjoy.
343
00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:11,240
-What is it?
-It's called Cunnilingus.
344
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,950
It's an old country practise.
345
00:26:14,110 --> 00:26:15,570
How do you play it?
346
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:18,410
Well, you...
347
00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:21,080
You...
348
00:26:22,910 --> 00:26:26,670
I think you are making fun of me,
Sir Francis.
349
00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:40,100
No.
350
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:47,980
You can't touch me,
for Caesar's, I am.
351
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:07,540
Your Majesty, Sir Ralph Ellerker
and Mr. John Constable.
352
00:27:45,870 --> 00:27:47,670
Gentlemen, I ask you this...
353
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:51,500
...what king has kept his subjects
so long in wealth and peace?
354
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:56,260
So ministered justice
equally to high and low...
355
00:27:56,420 --> 00:27:59,390
...and protected you
from all outward enemies?
356
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,850
I've read your submission.
357
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,730
Your first pretence
is to maintain the faith.
358
00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:10,110
Well, I'll tell you now,
that nothing is more contrary...
359
00:28:10,270 --> 00:28:13,070
...to God's commandments
than rebellion.
360
00:28:13,230 --> 00:28:15,860
Rising like madmen
against your prince...
361
00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:18,700
...leaving lands untilled
and corn unsown...
362
00:28:18,860 --> 00:28:21,410
...is not the behaviour
of the proper commonwealth.
363
00:28:21,580 --> 00:28:23,370
Your Majesty, I feel compelled to--
364
00:28:23,540 --> 00:28:24,580
Hush.
365
00:28:24,740 --> 00:28:26,540
You are before the king's majesty.
366
00:28:27,210 --> 00:28:30,420
You make false claims about
our intentions towards the church.
367
00:28:30,580 --> 00:28:33,670
We have done nothing but what
the clergy in York and Canterbury...
368
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,380
...agreed was in accordance
with God's holy word.
369
00:28:36,550 --> 00:28:40,050
God's holy word, gentlemen.
370
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,060
So how can the simple people
say the contrary?
371
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:47,930
What presumption is it of them
to claim knowledge of God's law...
372
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:51,400
...when they are ignorant
and less knowledgeable...
373
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,070
...and should rather know their duty?
374
00:29:06,540 --> 00:29:08,330
You have seen before
in Lincolnshire...
375
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,750
...how temperate and forgiving
is our inclination.
376
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:14,000
Though rebellion
is against God's will...
377
00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:18,130
...I declare my intentions through
the pity and compassion of our heart...
378
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:22,180
...to pardon all of you
who have transgressed...
379
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:25,470
...on condition that you
now lay down your arms.
380
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,270
The Duke of Suffolk
will come north again to Yorkshire...
381
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:30,600
...to moderate with you
and make peace...
382
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:33,310
...and see you disbanded.
383
00:29:34,650 --> 00:29:36,320
Good day, gentlemen.
384
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,460
Your Grace?
385
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,340
Your Grace should know...
386
00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:09,850
...our army of pilgrims will not disperse
just for the promise of a pardon.
387
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,310
Our pilgrimage is not over.
388
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,770
I do know. And I have told the king.
389
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:20,110
He has given me permission
to negotiate with you further...
390
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,320
...in good faith.
391
00:30:22,150 --> 00:30:23,700
On the basis of our petition?
392
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:25,740
Yes.
393
00:30:25,910 --> 00:30:28,990
Does Your Grace have some token
of this good faith?
394
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,750
You don't trust my word?
395
00:30:30,910 --> 00:30:33,670
Not for me,
for our captain, Mr. Aske.
396
00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:35,920
He's a lawyer.
397
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:39,340
Here is a promise,
in His Majesty's own hand...
398
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:42,170
...to deal with you openly,
fairly and reasonably...
399
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,880
...as his loving subjects.
400
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:53,350
We are grateful and bounden
to His Majesty.
401
00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:57,520
Good night, gentlemen.
402
00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:07,530
This is for the Lancashire Herald.
403
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,740
See that it is dispatched
immediately.
404
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:46,070
Mr. Constable.
405
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:52,080
I beg you,
do not put your trust in Mr. Cromwell.
406
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,880
Thank God and Your Majesty
for your great mercy today.
407
00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:06,130
I think you are
the kindest of rulers...
408
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,470
...and I wish with all my heart
the world knew it.
409
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,930
The world chooses
what it wants to know, Jane.
410
00:32:12,850 --> 00:32:15,480
But you can change its mind.
411
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,890
I beg you to restore
and keep the abbeys.
412
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:19,270
Jane.
413
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,110
Think what the world would think.
You listen to your people and heart.
414
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,570
Jane, I told you once before...
415
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:31,870
...don't meddle in my affairs.
416
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:36,960
Do you remember what happened
to the late queen?
417
00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:41,130
Yes.
418
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,500
I love you more than her.
419
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,260
More even than Catherine.
420
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:53,180
Don't spoil it.
421
00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:15,030
Cardinal Pole.
422
00:33:18,250 --> 00:33:20,080
My name
is Diego Hurtado de Mendoza...
423
00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:25,300
...and these gentlemen are all advisers
to His Imperial Majesty King Charles V.
424
00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:28,670
Sirs, I carry this letter
of legatine authority...
425
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,340
...from His Holiness Pope Paul.
426
00:33:31,340 --> 00:33:32,340
Shall we be seated?
427
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,270
We were aware, Eminence,
that you were on your way here...
428
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,270
...but, forgive me,
we remain a little unsure...
429
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,070
...as to the exact nature
of your mission.
430
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,200
You are aware of the risings which
have taken place across England...
431
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,370
...against the king,
that heretic Cromwell and all his sect.
432
00:33:57,540 --> 00:33:59,580
We have had some information,
certainly.
433
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:02,750
And, naturally, we are intrigued.
434
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:07,050
These popular risings...
435
00:34:07,210 --> 00:34:09,710
...are the greatest chance
that we may ever have...
436
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,880
...to restore the true religion
to England.
437
00:34:13,050 --> 00:34:16,140
But the faithful people
of my country need support.
438
00:34:17,140 --> 00:34:22,640
Each of us, Señor Mendoza,
in our own way...
439
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:27,230
...must encourage the risings
to continue and to grow in strength.
440
00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:35,280
Even if that means
the overthrow of the king himself...
441
00:34:35,950 --> 00:34:38,580
...not just his wicked council?
442
00:34:38,740 --> 00:34:39,790
Yes.
443
00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:45,670
We can imagine
such an outcome without fear...
444
00:34:45,830 --> 00:34:48,170
...for there is another,
close to the throne...
445
00:34:48,340 --> 00:34:51,550
...with a legitimate claim
and a true faith.
446
00:34:52,050 --> 00:34:53,510
The Lady Mary.
447
00:34:55,930 --> 00:34:57,470
If not her...
448
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,180
...there is another Catholic
with a legitimate claim.
449
00:35:02,350 --> 00:35:05,100
A scion of the Plantagenets
who ruled before the Tudors...
450
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:07,440
...and would gladly rule after them.
451
00:35:09,110 --> 00:35:11,860
Of whom do you speak,
Your Eminence?
452
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,910
I speak of myself, Señor Mendoza.
453
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:28,130
Ralph. John.
454
00:35:28,290 --> 00:35:31,630
We have prayed for your safe return.
Thank God, thank God.
455
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,300
The king in his mercy
has offered us a general pardon.
456
00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:39,510
He's sending the Duke of Suffolk
to negotiate and treat with us...
457
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,720
...without precondition
and on the basis of our demands.
458
00:35:45,730 --> 00:35:46,980
-Is it true?
-Aye.
459
00:35:47,150 --> 00:35:49,560
I trust the king's
good faith and mercy.
460
00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:51,690
And here's proof of it.
461
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:54,490
We're to meet again here.
462
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,330
You've not said anything, John.
463
00:36:03,490 --> 00:36:06,580
Is it because you do not agree
with Sir Ralph?
464
00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:09,170
No, I cannot agree with him.
465
00:36:09,330 --> 00:36:12,250
How should I agree
when I think that devil, Cromwell...
466
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:15,590
...has such a hold over the king
that I account these promises...
467
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,260
...to be utterly worthless?
468
00:36:17,430 --> 00:36:19,050
You don't think
we should meet them?
469
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:21,720
No, I don't.
I think we should expose their lies.
470
00:36:21,890 --> 00:36:24,720
Call a general muster,
take over the entire North...
471
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:28,690
...and only then
condescend to a meeting.
472
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,190
Why are you so sure
that their word is not to be trusted?
473
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:33,860
Because of this.
474
00:36:34,610 --> 00:36:36,030
What's that?
475
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:40,910
It's a copy of a letter from Cromwell
to the Yorkshire gentry.
476
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,040
I'll read some of it to you.
477
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:47,250
"There is hope
they may disperse peacefully...
478
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:49,500
...but if these rebels continue...
479
00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:53,000
...with their illegal assemblies
and their defiance...
480
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:57,220
...then their rebellion
will be crushed so forcibly...
481
00:36:57,380 --> 00:37:00,010
...that their example
shall be fearful to all subjects...
482
00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:03,930
...so long as the world does endure."
483
00:37:08,020 --> 00:37:10,560
"So long as the world does endure,"
gentlemen.
484
00:37:13,310 --> 00:37:15,360
But the truth is,
they cannot crush us.
485
00:37:15,530 --> 00:37:18,240
And that's why the duke
is forced to negotiate.
486
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,320
So this sure sign of their deviousness
does not impress you then?
487
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:31,750
I say we do not stop our vigilance,
but prepare for our meeting...
488
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,210
...clarify our positions...
489
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:35,250
...and strengthen our arguments...
490
00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:38,340
...and have our church leaders
endorse them.
491
00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:47,100
Why should we fear, John,
when we are about God's work?
492
00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:49,640
I know we are, but--
493
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:59,110
I only hope that none of us,
nor our grandchildren...
494
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,200
...ever live to regret this moment.
495
00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:05,200
I wanted to wish you
success for your journey...
496
00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:07,290
...and for the conference
with the rebels.
497
00:38:07,450 --> 00:38:09,910
I am grateful to Your Majesty.
498
00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:13,750
You know I desire more than
anything else a peaceful remedy.
499
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,500
You have my permission to prolong
the truce for as long as necessary.
500
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:20,670
You may also affirm my general
pardon to all the rebels.
501
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,970
Except their leaders.
502
00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:28,470
I want them brought to you still,
with halters around their necks.
503
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,520
Your Majesty knows the rebels,
no doubt unjustly...
504
00:38:36,690 --> 00:38:40,490
...blame Master Cromwell
for many of their actions.
505
00:38:40,650 --> 00:38:44,820
Repeatedly, they ask
for his removal and punishment.
506
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,030
What should I tell them?
507
00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:03,670
You know what this is?
508
00:39:04,970 --> 00:39:07,090
Fruit from the New World.
509
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:08,720
New things come in...
510
00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:11,850
...everything changes.
511
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,100
I have a great appetite for novelty.
512
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:18,440
Tell them what you like.
513
00:39:33,250 --> 00:39:35,870
Gentlemen,
I have read your new petition.
514
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,170
Among other articles...
515
00:39:37,330 --> 00:39:41,420
...you asked for the setting up of a
special convocation or parliament...
516
00:39:41,590 --> 00:39:44,720
...to debate without fear
or His Majesty's displeasure...
517
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,220
...questions of heresy,
the royal supremacy...
518
00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:50,640
...and maintenance of the faith.
519
00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:54,560
I can tell you now that the king has
graciously conceded to your request.
520
00:39:57,060 --> 00:39:59,020
A special parliament
will be summoned...
521
00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:04,820
...to be held not far away
at Westminster, but here in York...
522
00:40:04,990 --> 00:40:08,450
...to debate and decide
on all these questions.
523
00:40:08,610 --> 00:40:09,740
Thank you.
524
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:13,240
We've also asked for the heresies...
525
00:40:13,410 --> 00:40:17,960
...of Luther, Wyclif and Tyndale
be annulled and destroyed.
526
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:23,750
We've asked that the heretics,
bishops and temporal be punished.
527
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,680
That Cromwell, Audley,
Sir Richard Rich...
528
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,800
...be punished as subverters
of the good laws of this realm...
529
00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:34,640
...and maintainers of false sects.
530
00:40:34,810 --> 00:40:41,270
That is not for me to decide,
whatever my true feelings...
531
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,820
...but such questions
are what the parliament...
532
00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:46,030
...will be constituted to decide.
533
00:40:46,190 --> 00:40:48,820
Is it possible that
this parliament can also debate...
534
00:40:48,990 --> 00:40:52,070
...the question of papal obedience,
touching the cure of souls...
535
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:54,410
...and the legitimacy
of the Lady Mary?
536
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:55,620
Yes, Mr. Aske.
537
00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:57,660
I can guarantee
all these great matters...
538
00:40:57,830 --> 00:41:00,830
...can be put before the parliament
without fear or favour.
539
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,630
And the king is still willing
to offer a general pardon?
540
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,920
Yes. I say that with hesitation.
541
00:41:09,090 --> 00:41:12,550
The more His Majesty understands
the causes of this uprising...
542
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:15,810
...and the loyalty of the pilgrims
to his person and rule...
543
00:41:15,970 --> 00:41:18,640
...the more he is persuaded
to show clemency.
544
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,400
There is one other great matter.
545
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,400
Your Grace knows
that we demand...
546
00:41:25,570 --> 00:41:29,860
...that the suppressed abbeys
should stand or be restored.
547
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,530
This is our sticking point.
548
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,530
We were always determined
to fight and die...
549
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:38,200
...for the maintenance
of our religious houses.
550
00:41:38,370 --> 00:41:39,660
What I can say about that...
551
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:42,710
...is that all further destruction
of the abbeys will cease...
552
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,920
...until the parliament meets.
553
00:41:45,090 --> 00:41:48,880
It will then be up to Parliament
to decide if and when...
554
00:41:49,420 --> 00:41:51,680
...the others will be restored.
555
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,850
Go home and put aside your arms.
556
00:41:57,180 --> 00:42:01,640
By standing together
and by standing strong...
557
00:42:01,810 --> 00:42:05,730
...I believe we have achieved
as much as we could have gained...
558
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:09,190
...when we first took up
this great pilgrimage of ours.
559
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,030
It is almost Christmas.
560
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,700
Go home and celebrate the birth
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
561
00:42:16,870 --> 00:42:22,040
We thank God,
as we thank the king's majesty...
562
00:42:22,210 --> 00:42:26,040
...that all this has been achieved
without bloodshed.
563
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:30,050
Please listen to the king's herald.
564
00:42:36,010 --> 00:42:40,220
"His Gracious Majesty,
King Henry VIII...
565
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:43,060
...hereby pardons
by royal command...
566
00:42:43,230 --> 00:42:44,900
...all those subjects...
567
00:42:45,060 --> 00:42:49,730
...who have transgressed
and risen in unlawful rebellion."
568
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:51,990
I therefore ask every one of you...
569
00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:58,240
...to disperse, go home
and put aside your arms...
570
00:42:58,410 --> 00:43:03,370
...firm in the knowledge
that our faith is to be maintained...
571
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:05,080
...and not destroyed.
572
00:43:20,510 --> 00:43:21,850
What is it, husband?
573
00:43:22,020 --> 00:43:24,730
I believe it's from the king.
574
00:43:33,940 --> 00:43:35,110
What does it say?
575
00:43:35,950 --> 00:43:36,990
Father?
576
00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:41,910
"My trusty and well-beloved Aske.
577
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,040
I am informed that notwithstanding
your offences committed against us...
578
00:43:46,210 --> 00:43:48,830
...in the late rebellion
attempted in those parts...
579
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,840
...you are now at heart repentant.
580
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,550
And since you are determined
to be a faithful subject...
581
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:58,140
...we have conceived a great desire
to speak with you."
582
00:43:59,050 --> 00:44:01,970
-Oh, Father!
-Hush, children. Listen to your father.
583
00:44:02,140 --> 00:44:06,810
"And to hear the whole circumstance
and beginning of that matter."
584
00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:09,480
The king wants to speak with me.
You believe it?
585
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,860
"I therefore order you, as our faithful
subject as we now repute you...
586
00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:16,150
...to come to court for Christmastide.
587
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,110
You are not to let anyone know...
588
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,240
...but will use
plainness and frankness...
589
00:44:20,410 --> 00:44:22,990
...in all things
we shall demand of you...
590
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,700
...and we may have cause
to reward you even further."
591
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,040
There's a credence attached
saying that:
592
00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:31,710
"You shall safe come
and go from court...
593
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,170
...returning before
the 12th day of Christmas."
594
00:44:34,340 --> 00:44:38,840
Just make sure that he means
to honour the promises...
595
00:44:39,010 --> 00:44:40,680
...Lord Suffolk made on his behalf.
596
00:44:40,850 --> 00:44:43,260
Is it not obvious the king
has taken this to heart?
597
00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:45,020
This is written in his own hand.
598
00:44:45,180 --> 00:44:47,730
You're still too trusting.
I wouldn't go on my own.
599
00:44:48,350 --> 00:44:50,770
But there is a promise of safe return.
600
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:52,690
Yeah, well, promises can be broken.
601
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:55,070
Mr. Constable,
the promises of a king...
602
00:44:55,230 --> 00:44:57,820
...are worth more
than the promises of ordinary folk.
603
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:59,610
Here's what we shall do.
604
00:44:59,780 --> 00:45:02,030
I will arrange to lay post horses...
605
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,870
...all the way between here
and London...
606
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,210
...so that if, God forbid, Mr. Aske...
607
00:45:08,370 --> 00:45:11,750
...you are imprisoned
or otherwise badly treated...
608
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,920
...I will hear about it straightaway...
609
00:45:14,090 --> 00:45:16,630
...and raise the people again
for your deliverance.
610
00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:19,550
Thank you, Lord Darcy.
