We should ring the bells in victory.

Every traitor netted overnight and taken to the Tower.

And Margaret Pole was found this morning,

so she will be taken there, too.

There's a small army gathering outside, Henry.

You planning to arrest the whole of London?

The French are restless in Europe,

and the pope has fears for Venice.

I am sending men to Kent,

where the French can feel us watching them.

And if King Louis decides to march to us

as well as south to Venice,

then we will be ready for him.

You are peaky.

I didn't sleep.

I just need some spearmint for my chest,

and it will pass.

- Lina. - So you are back

from your night's work as a Tudor.

I am a soldier of the court.

Does Lady Pole now wear their chains?

She's a traitor.

She plotted on the king's life.

Lina, the army marches out to Kent.

In two days, I go with them

and then perhaps to war in France.

I only joined this army,

because you said you would not have me.

We could have had a different life

if you were not so proud.

Where have you taken Lady Pole?

Is she in the Tower?

She is unharmed,

and so are both her children.

We must go there now.

Of course.

I must offer her what aid I can.

Then I will ride to Hatfield

and hope that I may see the prince.

Curiously, I'm warming to this creature.

It keeps its own counsel,

and it doesn't suffer patronage.

Does the bird not cheer you, Henry?

That depends on how it will taste.

Do you have to walk in here when I am bathing?

I'm your mother. I held you

when you were a babe in swaddling.

We should celebrate.

Our enemies at home are all apprehended,

and I believe I've found a new wife for you.

Our enemies breed faster every time we catch one.

They're like rats.

Lizzie told me if I ruled with fear,

I'd only get dissent and hatred in retu...

She was right.

She and her mother both had the sight.

And Lizzie said if Harry married Catherine,

he would never have a son and heir.

He doesn't know it, but that's why

I told him he must marry Eleanor.

Well, the wife I picked for you,

the Duchess of Savoy...

she's daughter to the Emperor Maximilian,

so she brings with her a useful new alliance.

What do you say to that?

Henry?

Don't ignore me.

Henry.

Henry.

Henry.

You're lucky I don't put you in there with all the men.

Mother!

Henry.

May God save us all, cousin.

Edmund.

Did they hurt you?

I would have killed them if I could.

Come on. That's enough.

Come away.

Come on, you.

- My lady? - Come with me.

Come with me.

H-help, uh... Take his arms.

- What? Is he... - Uh, help me to move him.

Uh, move... Move this...

Take him.

- Oh! - My lady,

what are we going to do with the king?

- Take him! - But...

We'll just take him, put him onto the...

Yes, yes.

Get his feet up on the...

I will, uh, s-summon the royal physician.

No. Eat this.

- No, I ca... I... - Eat it!

I don't understand.

No, just eat it.

You must get him into his light shirt, get him into bed.

Uh, His Grace ate his breakfast,

but his stomach was upset,

and he... he needs to rest,

and he must not be disturbed by anybody.

My lady, the king is dead.

Why would we not announce it?

The king is Harry.

You.

Take this.

Dispose of it.

Take this to Prince Harry, into his hands only.

- My lady. - He must return at once.

John.

Sí.

Sí.

Send word for Dudley.

I need to see him here.

I will have that Spanish whore...

And I will write

that Princess Eleanor must come at once

and wed Prince Harry.

Why are you still here? Go.

I'll write to Eleanor.

She must come...

I spoke to the warden

and told him God would judge him

if he did not move you to a better cell.

It will not be for long, Maggie.

Mother.

Oh, Henry. Thank God.

Come, Ursula. Come. Let's see

what we can spy from this window.

This was Teddy's cell...

12 long years.

Maggie, I give you my solemn promise

I will see you freed from here,

and you will have your Reggie back.

You have no power, Catherine.

You're at the mercy of that woman, Lady Margaret.

It was she who locked my brother in here,

and she murdered two young boys before him.

They received no mercy, and nor will we.

There is nothing you can do.

There is always something, Maggie.

Ya basta.

Hold fast.

I promise I will not fail you.

Lina, highness,

I come to tell you I... I think the king is dead.

Dead?

There was much blood,

and Lady Margaret, she is like a lion in a cage.

She sends word for Harry to come to Westminster now.

But, highness, the guards,

they have been told to throw you from the palace.

It is not safe for you to return.

Then I will ride to Harry and intercept him on the road.

There is only one road to the city from the north.

Who is it?

Dudley.

I didn't send for you.

Eh, the king didn't send for you.

My lady, the king's mother,

sh-should we fetch the... the king's physician?

Is he unwell?

In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,

what has happened here?

The king has taken his rightful place at God's side.

Now, we must work quickly.

These ledgers detail lands and chattels

that the Crown has seized in lieu of taxes.

But Parliament refused to ratify that lands could be forfeit.

The landowners can repurchase their confiscated lands

at the prices written down.

He doesn't need to see the prices.

This is against the law. It... it is thievery.

What were you thinking?

Don't play the innocent, Wiltshire.

Every member of the privy council knew that...

Knew the treasury was short of funds, yes,

and... and I sang with the chorus,

but this is some secret song that you both sang.

Did the king know of this?

The issue is that these must be disposed of.

Prince Harry must be safely back in the palace

before the country learns that the king is dead.

If news leaks out, there could be a rebellion.

He could be torn apart by a mob.

I must see my grandson on the throne!

It is the will of God.

I shall take these to my home

until you instruct me what to do with them.

What of the king?

He has been sent for.

No, this king, our beloved monarch.

He cannot be suffered to languish in his own bloody bedding.

The king sleeps...

until I say otherwise.

- Sir, please, just a little... - No.

Go.

Good day.

Nothing good about it, Saracen.

I am sorry.

I have asked too much of you.

At every turn, you have been loyal to me,

and you are loyal as a soldier, too, and...

Lina, I may go to war.

When I return...

I ask you this...

that you will pledge yourself to me

and our new family ahead of her.

The king is dead.

He is in his bed.

My lady, the council needs to know

that illegal taxes have been levied...

The good people of England

have been overburdened by taxation.

They have been sorely used

by the nobility and the Crown.

But you said the treasury needed gold and that we were to find it.

Our new king may not understand

the measures that were taken by his council.

He may seek to apportion blame

so that his reign is not tainted with it.

I always said these taxes were immoral.

Did you? Did you whisper it?

I said it loudly. Maybe you did not listen, Stafford!

No, I rarely listen to what you have to say, butcher's boy.

You don't even have the rank to sit amongst us.

I agreed that the treasury needed aid,

but Parliament refused to pass

an act where lands and property could be confiscated,

yet only yesterday I learned that Dudley and my lady

and perhaps the king himself defied Parliament

and seized men's homes and chattels anyway.

- Dudley. - There were ledgers

in the king's room detailing hundreds of seized properties.

Dudley engineered the plan alone.

He and the king had knowledge of it.

We did not.

The evidence is all with Dudley, in his house,

so we must move quickly to convict him.

All of our hands are clean of this.

Guard.

Who are they?

Oviedo.

God save the king.

What is this?

Your father passed into God's mercy, Your Grace.

- God save the king. - God save the king.

- God save the king. - God save the king.

God save the king.

Charlie, wine.

Yes, Your Grace.

Dudley!

Keep walking.

I have done nothing wrong.

I have known Prince Harry,

our new king, since he was a boy.

Wait. I must send a message to Lady Margaret.

This is an error that can be remedied.

Then Henry is dead.

Will it help us?

I always knew I'd be king,

ever since I was a boy.

Arthur was groomed for it, but I felt it,

like a silver thread pulling me towards this day.

Your grandmother felt that thread, too.

I am the tangled knot in it.

What a pair of poets we make.

Though my father never liked my writing or my songs.

Or your taste in girls.

No.

No, that was my grandmother.

I am told you are to marry my niece.

I thought it best to... to remove myself from court

to pray upon my duty.

In truth, I was... I was grateful for the peace.

Peace from me?

Peace from my heart.

And is your heart at peace?

Do you think of me, or is your heart

now with the Princess Eleanor?

Good day.

Good day, mistress, my lord.

Wait.

Here. Take this.

Buy ale, and raise a glass

to the king of England, and save his soul.

No matter which backside is on the throne, nothing has changed.

So you are not for Eleanor?

Harry, I...

Harry, I need to tell you I love you.

I cannot offer you the Habsburg empire,

nor the sanction of your grandmother,

and if I cannot love you as your wife,

then I will try to love you as a subject.

But I want to love you as a wife...

and as the mother of your heirs...

and as a lover in your bed.

Harry, tell me what my fate shall be.

I am not Harry anymore.

I'm Henry.

You and I, Catherine, we do not fear the morrow,

but we make it...

as... as man or king and wife.

I never wanted Eleanor.

I told my father that. I told your father, too.

I withdrew from the match two days ago.

I refused her for your sake.

All we need's a letter from the pope, and then we shall wed.

Dudley, you'll come with us.

Good. Yes. Hah.

My lady, the king's mother will see me now, yes?

This matter can be resolved.

Wait!

My gracious lady!

You are devout!

Please don't let them do this!

I've done nothing wrong!

My lady!

Please!

- "Edmund Dudley..." - Christ!

"you stand guilty of constructive treason,

"a crime of imprisoning the king,

"insomuch as through your legislative advice

"to his grace, King Henry VII,

"you did ensnare him unwittingly

"to enforce illegal acts of taxation

"and, in so doing, did defile the crown

and the holy ordinance of God under which all kings do serve."

I did your bidding.

I did your bidding!

No! I am an innocent man!

I took my instruction from you!

I did it all for England!

You cannot treat me like some dog to be put down!

It is un-Christian.

"The detail of your crimes have been examined

during an extraordinary session of council."

The sentence of death has been passed.

God grant you mercy.

Where is my trial?

This is not justice!

Please!

My lady!

No!

God save King Henry!

I am his loyal servant!

God save him!

Aah!

Fuck you all!

Fuck you all in hell!

Aah!

Fuck you all in hell!

The bells will peal for King Henry's death.

Let it be known that the traitor

responsible for the people's yoke of taxation

has been executed.

Long live the king.

Long live the king.

Banners will be lowered to half-station for my father.

Do it now.

Princess Catherine is to be your queen.

Be sure the palace knows it.

If it pleases Your Grace,

I ask that Lady Pole and her children

be released from the Tower.

They are loyal to you.

If my father had them arrested,

there must have been a reason.

We will hear mass for his soul,

and then we will announce our wedding.

Your Grace...

this is a time of great distress and sadness,

but you should know of an unseemly justice

that was meted out as you rode back to London.

Edmund Dudley was engaged to collect

additional levies for the crown.

My lady, the king's mo...

Uh, my lady, the king is here.

It was criminal, not to mention a stain against the Crown.

Lady Grandmother.

Your Grace, God preserve you.

Your father has ascended into Heaven

and you to your rightful throne.

We should speak in private.

I am in vigil at my father's side.

Princess Eleanor has been summoned.

Good.

She can attend my wedding to Princess Catherine.

Harry, you're shocked, and you're grieving,

but you pledged to your father

that you would marry Princess Eleanor for the good of England.

Was it grief...

that led you to arrest, try,

and behead Edmund Dudley all in one day?

Oh, no. That's right.

He didn't have a trial.

Your father learned that Edmund Dudley

had been implementing taxes that were not agreed by Parliament,

and he gave the order to arrest him.

No.

My father was already dead.

You had him arrested...

and then you silenced him before I could return.

You took it upon yourself to act as regent.

Why such haste, Lady Grandmother?

Harry, please.

Be with your father now.

What was my cousin Maggie's crime?

Well, she... she was a traitor to the Crown.

She wrote to Edmund de la Pool to ask him...

He is her cousin.

You took away all hope from her.

Her husband dead, her children starving,

can you be surprised that she was angry?

If you had had your way, you would have crushed me, too.

Lady Pole would never harm you, Harry.

She has been a friend to me and to you, too.

She's a traitor.

Please, release her and her children.

If nothing else,

make this your wedding gift to me.

You cannot marry, not without a papal dispensation,

and the pope has not seen fit to grant one for this marriage.

He has refused...

or he is still deciding?

Send a pardon to the Tower for Lady Margaret Pole

with my seal on it.

I will take it to her.

Thank you, Your Grace.

How did she find the prince so quickly?

The Moor bowman, he rode in with them.

It works! The baby comes.

Henry.

I said that I would free you.

A pardon, from the new King Henry.

You may return to court with all your children.

You will be looked after.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

I must ready to march out.

The sergeant-at-arms is generous,

but, uh, soon, he kick my arse.

- I must go, too. - Mm.

Oviedo.

Yes, sir.

My Lady?

A prayer book has been stolen from me.

I believe this man took it.

- What do you mean? - Oviedo does not steal.

Please, search his belongings.

I believe you'll find an inscription on the facing page.

It is from the pope himself to me.

Can you explain this?

This is a mistake. My lady,

you gave this book to me as a gift.

He showed it to me.

You're a Saracen and an enemy of Christ.

Why would I give God's word to you?

- I steal nothing! - Watch your tongue.

In English law, the punishment

for stealing is to be hanged.

Is that what you wish?

It is the law. See that it is done.

- All right. Take him. - No, this is wrong.

You can't do this!

- What are you doing? - My lady,

surely he should be given the chance to speak.

You have your orders, Sergeant.

My lady! My lady!

Sergeant, this is wrong!

I am no thief!

My lady! My lady!

Lady Margaret.

You gave that book of prayers to him as a gift.

He has been loyal to you.

Perhaps you have forgotten that you gave it to him.

I'm sure I could remember...

if only you'd remember that your Infanta

and Prince Arthur lay together.

Even now?

Even now, you would destroy her happiness?

She cannot marry anyway, not without the pope,

and he is not forthcoming.

Then why do this, if they cannot wed?

So you refuse?

Then he will hang.

I will go to Catherine.

She will save him.

Guards!

Let me go to her!

Eject her from the palace,

and do not let her back inside.

No. No! Wait!

They lay together.

Your Infanta is no virgin.

No.

She deceived us to trick my Harry into marriage.

Please, release him.

Swear on this holy cross.

She lied so she could wed Prince Harry.

At last, you tell the truth.

Eject her from the palace.

No! You will pardon him!

Did you speak to her?

Oviedo, she has lost her wits.

I want to be your wife.

Now.

Please, Oviedo.

Let her through.

Lina, eh...

You are everything to me.

We will have your Muslim service.

No.

We marry Catholic...

for you.

Then both.

Is my lady, Lina, back yet?

No, my lady.

Would you dress me?

Reggie, I have come for you.

We can be a family again,

you and me and Ursula and Henry.

Please, Reggie, come with me.

I love you very much.

Look.

Look what I've brought you.

Please, Reggie.

I am your mother.

I will return tomorrow.

Perhaps he needs more time.

I, for one, question the measures

implemented by this man, Dudley...

Oh, as I recall, you were in favor...

Silence!

All of you.

You are like a room full of bees.

Woolsey,

why don't you buzz like the rest of them?

Because I know my guilt, Your Grace.

I knew the levies were unjust, but I did nothing,

because I wished to curry favor

with the king and with his mother.

As we all did.

I should hang the lot of you.

Spoken like a true king, Harry.

And you should start by casting out that harlot from the palace.

- Leave. - Her closest lady

swears on the holy cross

that her marriage to your brother was a full one,

consummated daily over many, many months.

Leave us!

She is no maid.

She is a liar and a fortune hunter.

She cannot be your queen.

It is against God's law.

You brought evil to this great house

the day you came here,

but you will not drag us into ruin.

This is a lie.

Lina did not say this,

because it isn't true.

Where is this woman?

Well, fetch her here,

and have her swear it on the cross before me.

Bring her to me!

Where is she now?

What have you done to her?

- Uh... - Guards!

I'm sorry...

but it's time to go.

No.

Don't take him.

Please.

No!

Oviedo!

Oviedo! Please!

We'll make it as quick as we can.

He has done nothing wrong.

I am a lady of the future queen of England.

You cannot do this!

Keep her here.

Pl-please.

Please, no.

Adios, amor de mi vida.

Try and make it quick.

No!

I beg you, please!

Please, no!

Please, no!

No!

Oviedo!

No!

Stop it!

- Cut him down! - Do it!

Oviedo.

What in God's name happened here?

Who ordered this?!

Oviedo is released.

The Saracen stole a book of hours from me.

He's a criminal.

Why would he steal a Catholic book of prayers?

He does not even share your faith. He is Muslim.

This has no bearing on what her lady,

Lina de Cardonnes, confessed to me,

that she lay with your brother.

I would have thought it has every bearing.

There's not an instrument of torture

in the Tower that could extract

a false confession any quicker.

There'll be no wedding.

You do not have the dispensation.

I thought I had lost you.

You...

You should attend to the Infanta's wedding.

She cannot wed.

The pope has not approved it.

- But he has. - No.

Lady Margaret paid me

to read all the letters at the ports.

The pope gave his permission many weeks ago.

I gave these letters to Lady Margaret.

Hey. No crying.

You must go and tell the Infanta that she may wed.

Lady Grandmother, the pope has confirmed

that he sent a dispensation for my wedding.

I must assume that his first communication

on the subject was lost

- or destroyed. - I-

We choose to have a private wedding

in the Church of the Observant Friars in Greenwich.

You will not attend.

Harry, no.

I've been a mother to you.

I educated you.

I empowered you.

I loved you.

Come, Catherine.

My queen.

Maid!

I'm thirsty!

Maid!

Maid!

Are you a fever?

No. I am here.

To laugh at me.

Well, laugh away.

My children are all here with me for the wedding,

but Reggie chooses not to speak.

That is the final gift you've given me.

Water.

I think I know more of God than you do.

Ah.

My Harry.

Harry dresses for his wedding.

No. The Spanish girl will destroy us all.

If Harry marries her,

he's cursed, no boys, no heirs.

It's what his mother said on her deathbed.

You call my actions evil...

but I'm protecting my family, my country.

It's a lonely path.

I have to go.

No.

Everything I've built will be undone.

What have you built, though?

Hatred and fear.

You are forsaken.

This arrived today from Spain.

What is it?

My father says that I should know who I am marrying.

It wasn't Harry who refused the match with Eleanor.

It was my father

who withdrew my niece's hand.

Why would he do that?

Because...

Because my sister told him

that she herself had lain with Harry.

What?

What are...

No!

No.

No.

Go away. Go away. Go away.

Jasper.

Take my soul to the gates of Heaven.

Jasper.

Jasper.

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

Catherine.

I had a letter from my father.

My sister says...

she says you lay with her.

What?

Is it true?

Of course it isn't.

Catherine, why would I have?

I-I walked through fire for you.

I stood against my father, risked my throne.

I've said that we should be crowned together. I...

How could you believe this of me?

If you believe your father and your sister over me,

then everyone that stood against us will have won.

Everything that we fought for will... will be for nothing.

Then...

you didn't touch or lie with her?

Of course I didn't.

I'm sorry.

I should have known my sister would try to hurt me.

Forgive me.

Catherine.

You didn't lie with Arthur either, did you?

No.

As I have said,

I am a maid.
