Lady Tudor. 556 00:50:16,431 --> 00:50:18,229 Lady Stafford now. 557 00:50:18,231 --> 00:50:19,669 Oh, you remarried? 558 00:50:19,671 --> 00:50:21,469 As women must, it seems. 559 00:50:21,471 --> 00:50:23,949 Though some of us still loyal to our own house. 560 00:50:23,951 --> 00:50:26,269 These are different times, Lady Margaret. 561 00:50:26,271 --> 00:50:29,509 Lancaster brought us only war. King Edward will bring us peace. 562 00:50:29,511 --> 00:50:33,589 He is a pretender. He has taken the throne by force. 563 00:50:33,591 --> 00:50:35,029 He is the king. 564 00:50:35,031 --> 00:50:38,151 And those who speak against him are guilty of treason. 565 00:50:41,431 --> 00:50:42,791 Is all well? Mm. 566 00:50:45,351 --> 00:50:48,669 A common Lancastrian girl as queen. 567 00:50:48,671 --> 00:50:51,189 It's an insult to the lords who fought for him, 568 00:50:51,191 --> 00:50:53,751 to take a bride whose family killed for Henry. 569 00:50:56,191 --> 00:50:59,829 The worst part is he kept it from you. 570 00:50:59,831 --> 00:51:04,429 The boy is fogged by lust. I shall bring him back. 571 00:51:04,431 --> 00:51:07,229 I have sacrificed too much to lose him now. 572 00:51:07,231 --> 00:51:09,951 The Rivers whore will wish she'd never come here. 573 00:51:11,551 --> 00:51:15,551 My brothers - George and Richard. My sister Margaret. 574 00:51:22,351 --> 00:51:25,469 My cousin, Lord Warwick. 575 00:51:25,471 --> 00:51:28,271 His Countess, and daughters Isabel and Anne. 576 00:51:33,431 --> 00:51:37,711 My royal court, I give you the Queen of England. 577 00:51:42,551 --> 00:51:45,229 Lord Warwick looks as though he's swallowed poison. 578 00:51:45,231 --> 00:51:49,109 All his plans for Edward smothered in their sleep. 579 00:51:49,111 --> 00:51:52,149 They'll make Edward pay for it, though. You can be sure of that. 580 00:51:52,151 --> 00:51:56,191 And now we have the joy that is his mother. 581 00:52:24,671 --> 00:52:28,551 Duchess Cecily. It is an honour to meet... 582 00:52:32,751 --> 00:52:34,911 I am not happy about this marriage. 583 00:52:38,351 --> 00:52:40,869 That's a shame. We're all delighted. 584 00:52:40,871 --> 00:52:44,389 I would remind the Lady Rivers 585 00:52:44,391 --> 00:52:46,229 that the wedding was a secret one which... 586 00:52:46,231 --> 00:52:49,629 Private. It was private. Not secret. 587 00:52:49,631 --> 00:52:53,309 I was there, as were other witnesses. 588 00:52:53,311 --> 00:52:57,589 But if your son, the king, did not invite you, then I am afraid you must take that up with him. 589 00:52:57,591 --> 00:53:02,229 Your daughter is a widow and years older than my son! 590 00:53:02,231 --> 00:53:03,309 I know. 591 00:53:03,311 --> 00:53:05,109 That's such an advantage, isn't it, 592 00:53:05,111 --> 00:53:07,749 as my daughter has already proved herself fertile 593 00:53:07,751 --> 00:53:10,669 with two handsome and legitimate boys, so we may 594 00:53:10,671 --> 00:53:13,989 feel confident that God will bless this new royal couple with issue. 595 00:53:13,991 --> 00:53:17,589 Your daughter could never be royal! 596 00:53:17,591 --> 00:53:19,629 She's not my choice. 597 00:53:19,631 --> 00:53:22,509 Nor that of my nephew, Lord Warwick. 598 00:53:22,511 --> 00:53:24,709 Her father was a commoner! 599 00:53:24,711 --> 00:53:27,869 And while I might overlook THAT, if Edward were not the king... 600 00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:31,311 He IS the king. And he has chosen me. 601 00:53:36,071 --> 00:53:38,951 Unless I should unseat him. 602 00:53:42,591 --> 00:53:45,149 And how would you do that, Duchess Cecily? 603 00:53:45,151 --> 00:53:47,271 I could disown him. 604 00:53:49,071 --> 00:53:53,111 I could put his brother George upon the throne in his place. 605 00:53:54,391 --> 00:53:59,351 How would you like that as the outcome of your private wedding, Lady Rivers? 606 00:54:03,031 --> 00:54:08,069 Yes. I did hear some talk, when Edward was born. 607 00:54:08,071 --> 00:54:11,549 Um... it was an archer, wasn't it? 608 00:54:11,551 --> 00:54:13,629 By the name of, um... 609 00:54:13,631 --> 00:54:15,189 Blaybourne. That's it. 610 00:54:15,191 --> 00:54:19,949 Yes. People said that you had made a cuckold of your husband, 611 00:54:19,951 --> 00:54:23,309 but in fact, I was of the few who swore that 612 00:54:23,311 --> 00:54:26,149 a lady of your standing would never stoop so low. 613 00:54:26,151 --> 00:54:29,469 And yet it seems you did. If that is what you're saying, Duchess Cecily, 614 00:54:29,471 --> 00:54:33,229 that you admit yourself a common whore and declare your son, 615 00:54:33,231 --> 00:54:34,509 the king, a bastard? 616 00:54:34,511 --> 00:54:37,511 For I cannot see how else you would unseat him. Enough! 617 00:54:39,591 --> 00:54:41,271 Enough. 618 00:54:46,951 --> 00:54:49,711 So then your words against the king will go no further? 619 00:54:51,151 --> 00:54:56,109 And now that we all are friends, I believe you do know the proper 620 00:54:56,111 --> 00:54:59,631 custom when presented with the Queen of England is to curtsy? 621 00:55:30,031 --> 00:55:32,831 It is an honour to meet you, Duchess Cecily. 622 00:55:36,071 --> 00:55:38,149 I'm surprised you won her over. 623 00:55:38,151 --> 00:55:41,829 You must have really worked some charm. 624 00:55:41,831 --> 00:55:44,349 I confess I had expected quite a battle. 625 00:55:44,351 --> 00:55:48,591 She is your mother, Edward. How much trouble could she be? 626 00:55:51,311 --> 00:55:56,429 Edward? Does the Earl of Warwick like me? He makes me nervous. 627 00:55:56,431 --> 00:56:00,269 He made me what I am, Elizabeth. You must love him for my sake. 628 00:56:00,271 --> 00:56:02,429 He's my closest kinsman. 629 00:56:02,431 --> 00:56:03,431 Then I shall try. 630 00:56:05,791 --> 00:56:09,711 But loving you is very much easier. 631 00:56:11,791 --> 00:56:12,831 Mmm. 632 00:56:14,031 --> 00:56:17,469 Now let us make a son, to scotch the Lancastrian threat 633 00:56:17,471 --> 00:56:19,911 and start our dynasty. 634 00:56:49,731 --> 00:56:53,209 More magic?
