Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:23,418 --> 00:01:25,170
Sir Thomas.
2
00:01:26,504 --> 00:01:27,756
What's the news?
3
00:01:27,922 --> 00:01:31,509
This matter hangs like a fever:
one day good, another bad.
4
00:01:32,343 --> 00:01:35,930
With the promise of a pardon and the
threat of an advancing royal army...
5
00:01:36,097 --> 00:01:39,726
the rebels in Lincolnshire
have dispersed and gone home.
6
00:01:39,893 --> 00:01:41,603
And in Yorkshire?
7
00:01:49,652 --> 00:01:52,113
In Yorkshire and the whole North...
8
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,326
we are facing the most dangerous
insurrection that has ever been seen.
9
00:01:56,493 --> 00:02:01,080
The rebels entered the town of York
three days ago and celebrated Mass.
10
00:02:01,247 --> 00:02:04,125
Some say they intend
to march south.
11
00:02:13,176 --> 00:02:15,678
Right behind me...
12
00:02:21,935 --> 00:02:24,187
You know what they say...
13
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:28,483
Your Majesty,
I write to you on an urgent matter.
14
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:32,779
We have had word that a pilgrim army
is marching on Pontefract Castle...
15
00:02:32,946 --> 00:02:35,323
which is under my command.
16
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,325
I am compelled to tell you...
17
00:02:37,492 --> 00:02:42,497
that I cannot defend this castle
without more soldiers and arms.
18
00:02:42,664 --> 00:02:45,375
As the warden
of the East Marches...
19
00:02:45,542 --> 00:02:48,294
and a loyal member
of Your Majesty's council...
20
00:02:48,461 --> 00:02:53,508
I beg Your Majesty to consider
negotiating with these pilgrims.
21
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:59,764
I remain your humble
and obedient servant, Darcy.
22
00:03:13,862 --> 00:03:15,363
What is it? What have you found?
23
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:17,282
A splinter of bone, Your Majesty.
24
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:21,202
You told me before it was an ulcer
and easily cured.
25
00:03:22,036 --> 00:03:25,081
A wound like this, Your Majesty...
- Jesus Christ.
26
00:03:25,248 --> 00:03:29,002
You don't know what it is, do you?
- Your Majesty must not be alarmed.
27
00:03:29,168 --> 00:03:33,131
We shall apply a poultice to draw
any more splinters to the surface.
28
00:03:33,298 --> 00:03:35,383
Then we shall look
to other remedies...
29
00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:39,345
to heal permanently
Your Majesty's wound.
30
00:03:39,512 --> 00:03:42,140
You treat me like a fool.
31
00:03:42,307 --> 00:03:45,560
Everyone here treats me like a fool.
32
00:03:45,727 --> 00:03:49,147
Get out. Get out!
33
00:03:49,898 --> 00:03:51,816
Your Majesty.
34
00:03:51,983 --> 00:03:54,235
Quacks and charlatans.
35
00:03:55,570 --> 00:03:57,322
I'll find my own remedies.
36
00:04:16,966 --> 00:04:18,593
Your Grace.
37
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,639
My lord, I was promised artillery
when I arrived here...
38
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,098
but I don't see any guns.
39
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:25,934
Your Grace, we have guns...
40
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:30,271
but have been not been able to find
any horses or drays to transport them.
41
00:04:32,065 --> 00:04:34,275
Perhaps you don't understand.
42
00:04:34,442 --> 00:04:36,945
I am about the king's
most urgent business.
43
00:04:37,111 --> 00:04:40,239
And if you cannot commandeer
enough horses for His Majesty's use...
44
00:04:40,406 --> 00:04:42,241
how can you call yourself mayor?
45
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:44,953
Your Grace, I did not want
to produce panic...
46
00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:48,498
by forcing people
to part with their horses or drays.
47
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,625
Idiot.
48
00:04:51,292 --> 00:04:54,796
I charge you, personally, to find
enough horses within two days...
49
00:04:54,963 --> 00:04:57,423
and bring the guns on
after our army...
50
00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:00,134
or, God help me,
I will hold you to account.
51
00:05:00,301 --> 00:05:02,178
With any luck, Mr. Mayor...
52
00:05:02,345 --> 00:05:06,391
I will afterwards get the chance
to see you disembowelled at Tyburn.
53
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:08,601
Onward.
54
00:05:10,603 --> 00:05:12,146
Onward.
55
00:05:17,986 --> 00:05:20,154
Lady Rochford?
- Madam.
56
00:05:20,321 --> 00:05:23,658
The king is still confined to his
chambers by his physicians' orders...
57
00:05:23,825 --> 00:05:27,036
but sends his regrets
and hopes you are well.
58
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:32,709
I worry for him so much.
Especially at such a time.
59
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:34,711
Well, Your Majesty is right to do so.
60
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:37,880
These rebels
are nothing but villains.
61
00:05:38,047 --> 00:05:41,676
They are totally alienated
from true religion.
62
00:05:41,843 --> 00:05:46,472
They want to take us back to the dark
days of ignorance and superstition.
63
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:49,017
And by force.
64
00:05:49,183 --> 00:05:51,269
I hope to God
they will soon be overcome.
65
00:05:51,436 --> 00:05:53,271
Yes.
66
00:05:53,438 --> 00:05:56,190
Lady Rochford, I have something
I wish you to arrange.
67
00:05:57,859 --> 00:06:01,279
I'm sure it will give the king
a great deal of pleasure.
68
00:06:03,156 --> 00:06:05,450
Positions!
69
00:06:24,427 --> 00:06:26,846
My God, Lord Darcy.
70
00:06:27,013 --> 00:06:29,557
What a sight is there.
71
00:06:29,724 --> 00:06:32,101
Arrant rebels
against the king's majesty...
72
00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:35,188
brazenly bearing
their badges of shame.
73
00:06:35,354 --> 00:06:37,356
Indeed so, Your Grace.
74
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:42,403
I never thought in all my long days
to see such a sight.
75
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:44,864
What are you going to do?
Fire on them?
76
00:06:45,031 --> 00:06:48,451
You know very well
I have almost no useful guns.
77
00:06:48,618 --> 00:06:51,621
Well, you could resist them
all the same, and close your gates.
78
00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:54,916
After all, those are the king's orders.
79
00:06:55,083 --> 00:06:59,629
As to that,
I think it better to talk to them first...
80
00:06:59,796 --> 00:07:04,592
as fellow Englishmen
and fellow Christians.
81
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:09,972
I'll meet their leaders in the gatehouse
outside the castle walls. Guards.
82
00:07:28,116 --> 00:07:31,202
My Lord Darcy, Your Grace...
83
00:07:31,369 --> 00:07:32,703
we come here in peace.
84
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:35,456
Mr. Aske,
as the king's representative...
85
00:07:35,623 --> 00:07:40,920
I have the means here to hinder you
and to do some injury to your cause.
86
00:07:41,087 --> 00:07:43,548
We have embarked upon
this Pilgrimage of Grace...
87
00:07:43,714 --> 00:07:45,216
for the common good...
88
00:07:45,925 --> 00:07:49,512
for the love we bear to God's faith,
our church and the maintenance of it.
89
00:07:50,138 --> 00:07:52,723
For the preservation
of our sovereign king...
90
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:57,478
and the expulsion of villains' blood
and evil councillors.
91
00:07:57,645 --> 00:07:59,564
We mean to petition
the king's highness...
92
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:04,235
to stop the woeful destruction
of our monasteries and abbeys.
93
00:08:04,402 --> 00:08:07,822
Master Aske,
you claim to be loyal to the king...
94
00:08:07,989 --> 00:08:13,119
but your very actions defy
and deny the king's supremacy.
95
00:08:13,286 --> 00:08:14,495
Lord Archbishop...
96
00:08:14,662 --> 00:08:17,165
there is no man now
alive in England...
97
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:19,041
more loyal to the king than I.
98
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:21,335
And I trust in time to prove it.
99
00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:25,047
Our quarrel lies not with him,
but only with those close to him.
100
00:08:25,214 --> 00:08:27,550
It's well for you
to sound so high and mighty...
101
00:08:27,717 --> 00:08:31,095
but it's you and your kind
who are also to blame...
102
00:08:31,262 --> 00:08:33,514
for not advising the king
honestly...
103
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:38,102
about the spread of heresy and abuse
throughout his kingdom.
104
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:40,605
For what are Cromwell
and Cranmer...
105
00:08:40,771 --> 00:08:45,234
but heretics and manifest abusers
of this commonwealth?
106
00:08:45,401 --> 00:08:47,862
Lord Darcy, as I told you...
107
00:08:48,029 --> 00:08:50,698
we mean no displeasure
to any person.
108
00:08:50,865 --> 00:08:53,701
We ask for shelter and free passage.
109
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:56,370
All our pilgrims here
have taken an oath...
110
00:08:56,537 --> 00:09:01,709
not to slay or murder out of envy...
111
00:09:01,876 --> 00:09:05,213
but to put away fear
for the commonwealth...
112
00:09:05,379 --> 00:09:10,885
and march with the cross of Christ
and their heart's faith before them.
113
00:09:11,052 --> 00:09:15,723
But we will fight and die...
114
00:09:16,349 --> 00:09:18,768
if you seek to stop us.
115
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:26,692
I'm putting you in charge
of defences here in the city.
116
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:29,904
We shall need to organise
new levies.
117
00:09:30,363 --> 00:09:32,823
Send word to every lord
to be ready with his power.
118
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:36,077
Take all the weapons, harness
and ordnance you need from the tower.
119
00:09:36,244 --> 00:09:39,121
Buy more if you need to
from the merchants in the city.
120
00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:42,458
Then it's true. We are in trouble.
121
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:47,171
Mr. Cromwell,
His Majesty will receive you now.
122
00:10:02,395 --> 00:10:05,106
I've just received a letter
from Lord Darcy.
123
00:10:06,065 --> 00:10:10,695
He says he's in great danger
and cannot maintain his resistance.
124
00:10:10,861 --> 00:10:16,200
And yet he holds a castle,
a great stronghold.
125
00:10:16,367 --> 00:10:18,786
Does he not mean to stand
against these traitors?
126
00:10:18,953 --> 00:10:21,122
Your Majesty, I've just been told...
127
00:10:21,289 --> 00:10:24,166
the rebels have already entered
the town of Pontefract...
128
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:27,295
with overwhelming numbers.
129
00:10:30,798 --> 00:10:31,799
Mr. Cromwell...
130
00:10:36,512 --> 00:10:39,515
Pontefract
is the gateway to the South.
131
00:10:39,682 --> 00:10:42,476
It has great strategic importance.
132
00:10:44,979 --> 00:10:47,732
You will write a letter
to Lord Darcy at once.
133
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:53,362
You will tell him that I expect him
to hold that castle at all costs.
134
00:10:54,155 --> 00:10:55,948
Yes, Your Majesty.
135
00:10:56,115 --> 00:10:57,992
And what of the royal army?
136
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,161
What are they doing
to crush this rebellion?
137
00:11:00,328 --> 00:11:02,246
Where is His Grace,
the Duke of Suffolk?
138
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,375
And that bastard, Shrewsbury.
I told him too.
139
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:12,465
What in God's name
are these men doing?
140
00:11:28,647 --> 00:11:32,109
Gentlemen, men of York, friends.
- Lord Darcy.
141
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,322
My lord.
142
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,868
Darcy and York have betrayed me.
143
00:11:41,035 --> 00:11:43,329
Well, we shall see
what end they come to.
144
00:11:43,496 --> 00:11:46,040
And why haven't Shrewsbury
and Suffolk attacked yet?
145
00:11:46,207 --> 00:11:51,045
All I hear are their complaints
and their excuses.
146
00:11:51,212 --> 00:11:52,838
You know what I think?
147
00:11:53,005 --> 00:11:56,425
I think they've become afraid
of their own shadows.
148
00:11:56,592 --> 00:11:58,636
I have a mind to go north myself.
149
00:11:58,803 --> 00:12:00,388
I'll lead the army.
150
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:03,557
I'll teach these bastard ingrates
and rebels...
151
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:08,229
a fearful bloody lesson
in slaughter.
152
00:12:16,904 --> 00:12:19,240
I wish Your Majesty
would not consider doing so.
153
00:12:19,407 --> 00:12:21,909
Why?
Do you suppose I'm too feeble?
154
00:12:22,076 --> 00:12:25,246
I meant that Your Majesty's life
is too precious to be put at risk...
155
00:12:25,413 --> 00:12:27,748
against such a common rabble.
156
00:12:27,915 --> 00:12:30,501
If you chose to go,
you'd be like a lion among wolves.
157
00:12:31,377 --> 00:12:34,588
Sir Francis,
I don't require you to flatter me.
158
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:36,257
No, Your Majesty.
159
00:12:37,675 --> 00:12:39,677
Send a plain message to Suffolk.
160
00:12:39,844 --> 00:12:42,263
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
00:12:44,306 --> 00:12:45,349
Majesty-
163
00:12:45,516 --> 00:12:46,767
And Mr. Cromwell.
164
00:12:46,934 --> 00:12:50,271
If things go badly,
I'll know well enough who to blame.
165
00:12:58,529 --> 00:13:00,990
Can I get Your Majesty
anything for your pain?
166
00:13:03,409 --> 00:13:07,496
Yes. I believe you can.
167
00:13:30,311 --> 00:13:32,646
Your Grace,
the Earl of Shrewsbury is here.
168
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:39,320
My lord.
- Your Grace.
169
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,071
Men, dismissed.
170
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,032
Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
171
00:13:51,499 --> 00:13:53,250
We meet at a desperate moment,
my lord.
172
00:13:53,959 --> 00:13:57,171
Not only are the rebel forces
overwhelmingly strong against us...
173
00:13:57,338 --> 00:14:00,549
but those men I do have
I cannot altogether trust.
174
00:14:00,716 --> 00:14:03,344
Many think the rebels' quarrels
to be good and godly.
175
00:14:06,722 --> 00:14:11,018
Still, the king has urged us
to attack as soon as possible.
176
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,563
His Majesty would not do so
if he saw our plight with his own eyes.
177
00:14:14,730 --> 00:14:15,981
I've almost no horsemen...
178
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:19,026
and those I do have
are rather the flower of the North.
179
00:14:19,735 --> 00:14:23,364
It is not possible to give battle
knowing defeat to be a certainty.
180
00:14:23,531 --> 00:14:24,907
Do you have some other plan?
181
00:14:25,074 --> 00:14:27,076
I intend to parley with them.
- Parley?
182
00:14:27,243 --> 00:14:32,540
My lord, it's our first duty to stop
them escaping and marching south.
183
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:34,959
If they are talking,
they are not marching.
184
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:38,379
Then you must tell the king.
185
00:14:47,054 --> 00:14:48,847
Shrewsbury's forces are here.
186
00:14:49,014 --> 00:14:50,766
Suffolk's here, not far from Newark.
187
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:54,562
It seems that they had originally
planned to hold a line here...
188
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:58,566
along the River Trent,
to block our advance southwards.
189
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:00,568
How strong are they?
190
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:03,612
We think Shrewsbury's men are 6000.
- Aye.
191
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:05,489
Suffolk's a lot less.
192
00:15:05,656 --> 00:15:08,534
They also lack horse and cannon.
193
00:15:08,701 --> 00:15:11,245
And how many are we?
194
00:15:11,412 --> 00:15:15,416
By my reckoning,
somewhere over 30,000.
195
00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:17,293
Thirty thousand.
196
00:15:17,793 --> 00:15:21,589
We've kept large forces here...
197
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:25,426
at Doncaster, at Jervaulx Abbey...
198
00:15:25,593 --> 00:15:30,556
and we're presently laying siege
to Cumberland's castle at Skipton.
199
00:15:30,723 --> 00:15:32,433
North of the River Don...
200
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,437
we have almost
complete control of the country.
201
00:15:39,565 --> 00:15:41,900
Let them come onto us.
202
00:15:42,234 --> 00:15:46,780
With God on our side, Mr. Aske,
we shall prevail.
203
00:15:52,703 --> 00:15:54,204
Poor you, Your Majesty.
204
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:57,374
Pour the ointment over it.
205
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:03,797
I smell sorrel and...
206
00:16:03,964 --> 00:16:04,965
Linseed?
207
00:16:05,466 --> 00:16:09,970
Meadow plant, crushed pearls,
herbs of grace, other things.
208
00:16:10,137 --> 00:16:12,306
I concocted it myself.
I don't trust physicians.
209
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:15,017
Hold still.
210
00:16:15,726 --> 00:16:17,478
You're very brave, Lady Misseldon.
211
00:16:18,479 --> 00:16:21,315
Braver, I think, than my captains.
212
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:24,818
And much more beautiful.
213
00:16:28,906 --> 00:16:32,660
There, it is done.
214
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:34,828
I trust Your Majesty
is more comfortable.
215
00:16:42,378 --> 00:16:44,880
Does Your Majesty wish me to stay?
216
00:17:03,273 --> 00:17:04,900
It seems we were wrong
to suppose...
217
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:11,281
the king would realise his mistakes
and the dangers to his soul.
218
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:13,909
Instead, he continues
to encourage Cromwell...
219
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:19,289
to vandalize and defile the houses
of God and steal their treasures.
220
00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:22,835
All for his own use and pleasure.
221
00:17:24,128 --> 00:17:27,464
And yet, even in the darkness,
there is light.
222
00:17:28,382 --> 00:17:32,386
I mean,
this great uprising of the faithful.
223
00:17:33,429 --> 00:17:34,972
This Pilgrimage of Grace.
224
00:17:35,139 --> 00:17:36,932
I have heard of it too.
225
00:17:37,099 --> 00:17:40,060
The pilgrims who march
beneath the banner of Christ.
226
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:43,731
The Holy Father asks you
to write a pamphlet in English...
227
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:48,402
denouncing the king
and his advisers as heretics.
228
00:17:48,569 --> 00:17:49,611
Of course.
229
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:53,907
I'll start work on it straight away.
- No, no, wait, wait.
230
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:57,911
His Holiness needs more from you
than just your signature.
231
00:17:58,078 --> 00:17:59,663
With my encouragement...
232
00:17:59,830 --> 00:18:03,542
he has decided to appoint you
an official legate.
233
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:06,920
You will travel to France
and to the Low Countries...
234
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:11,467
and meet representatives
of the king and the emperor.
235
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,886
Eminence?
- You will persuade them...
236
00:18:14,052 --> 00:18:18,515
to provide monies, arms
and mercenaries...
237
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:23,187
to support
this most holy crusade in England.
238
00:18:24,104 --> 00:18:27,357
If that is what His Holiness
asks me to do...
239
00:18:27,524 --> 00:18:32,780
then of course I will do it,
like an obedient son to a father.
240
00:18:33,405 --> 00:18:39,119
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 --> 00:18:45,459
I cannot accept.
243
00:18:46,001 --> 00:18:48,045
Why not?
244
00:18:48,796 --> 00:18:50,297
I'm not worthy.
245
00:18:50,464 --> 00:18:53,258
In other words,
you prefer your own judgement...
246
00:18:53,425 --> 00:18:55,719
to that of the pope,
your Holy Father.
247
00:18:56,303 --> 00:18:58,722
No doubt you suppose
that makes you seem humble.
248
00:19:00,349 --> 00:19:05,813
But, actually,
it is the sin of pride, Father Pole.
249
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:15,197
His Grace informs Your Majesty...
250
00:19:15,364 --> 00:19:18,325
he has no choice in the matter
but to treat with them.
251
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:23,163
In so doing, he hopes to bring the
nobles and the gentry to treachery...
252
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:24,873
and for their own interests...
253
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,584
they will disown the commons
if promised a pardon...
254
00:19:27,751 --> 00:19:29,753
as, in fact,
happened in Lincolnshire.
255
00:19:30,546 --> 00:19:32,840
They are not all to be pardoned.
256
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:37,344
Not the leaders. Never the leaders.
257
00:19:37,594 --> 00:19:41,181
But what terms does Lord Suffolk
intend to offer to make them go home?
258
00:19:43,851 --> 00:19:45,686
His Grace does not go into details...
259
00:19:45,853 --> 00:19:50,858
but to allay Your Majesty's fears,
he writes, in his own hand:
260
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:53,151
'I beseech Your Majesty
to take in good part...
261
00:19:53,318 --> 00:19:55,946
whatever promises
I shall make to these rebels...
262
00:19:56,113 --> 00:20:00,492
for surely I shall never
keep any of them.'
263
00:20:12,546 --> 00:20:15,549
Cavalry, ready?
- Yes, sir.
264
00:20:15,716 --> 00:20:17,718
Arms, double your front to the right.
265
00:20:17,885 --> 00:20:20,554
Arms, double...
- Yes, sir.
266
00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:25,267
Aye, captain.
267
00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:35,986
Alas, you unhappy men.
268
00:20:36,570 --> 00:20:39,406
What fancy, what folly
has led and seduced you...
269
00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:41,825
to make this
most shameful rebellion...
270
00:20:41,992 --> 00:20:46,121
against a most noble
and righteous king and sovereign?
271
00:20:56,632 --> 00:20:58,091
Are you not ashamed?
272
00:20:58,842 --> 00:21:00,427
How can you do this?
273
00:21:00,594 --> 00:21:04,765
Not only giving offence
to your natural sovereign lord...
274
00:21:04,932 --> 00:21:07,059
but giving us occasion
to fight with you...
275
00:21:07,225 --> 00:21:09,269
that have loved you more
than any other...
276
00:21:09,436 --> 00:21:12,648
and have always taken you
for our best friends.
277
00:21:12,814 --> 00:21:17,694
Your Grace,
we mean no offence to His Majesty.
278
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:23,533
But we have a petition which
we desire humbly to submit to him...
279
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:30,207
for the restoration of many things
which have gone amiss in this realm.
280
00:21:30,374 --> 00:21:35,629
We demand the restoration
of our abbeys and our ancient rights.
281
00:21:35,796 --> 00:21:37,798
And that a new Parliament
to be summoned...
282
00:21:37,965 --> 00:21:40,467
to address the people's
sincere grievances.
283
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,726
I can decide nothing here.
284
00:21:49,893 --> 00:21:51,144
But I propose a truce...
285
00:21:52,646 --> 00:21:54,690
during which time,
two of your captains...
286
00:21:54,856 --> 00:21:58,485
can take your petition
and present it to His Majesty.
287
00:21:59,194 --> 00:22:02,322
The truce be maintained
until they return.
288
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,912
We don't need a truce, we're no fools.
289
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:10,831
My Lord Darcy,
can we talk a moment?
290
00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:30,559
My Lord Darcy,
you more than anyone here...
291
00:22:30,726 --> 00:22:34,229
has cause to be grateful
to the king for his bounty...
292
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:40,360
for the trust he reposes in you
and would like to repose in you still.
293
00:22:40,819 --> 00:22:46,033
And yet here I find you consorting
with rebels and traitors.
294
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:48,535
For my part, I have been...
295
00:22:48,702 --> 00:22:52,706
and always will be true to the king,
our sovereign lord...
296
00:22:52,873 --> 00:22:55,250
as I was to his father before him.
297
00:22:55,417 --> 00:23:00,964
If you are as true and loyal as
you say, then you can prove it to us...
298
00:23:01,131 --> 00:23:04,301
by giving over your captain,
Mr. Aske, into our hands.
299
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:07,888
Sir, that I cannot and will not do.
300
00:23:08,055 --> 00:23:10,599
For a man who promises
to be true to someone...
301
00:23:10,766 --> 00:23:13,935
then betrays him,
may truly be called a traitor.
302
00:23:18,231 --> 00:23:20,942
His Majesty, the king.
303
00:23:23,653 --> 00:23:25,155
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
304
00:23:25,322 --> 00:23:26,782
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
305
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:28,283
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
306
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:29,826
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
307
00:23:29,993 --> 00:23:31,244
Your Majesty.
308
00:23:31,411 --> 00:23:32,954
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
309
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:37,167
Madam.
- Your Majesty.
310
00:23:38,001 --> 00:23:40,253
It makes me happy
to see you much improved.
311
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:42,255
I have a good physician.
312
00:23:42,422 --> 00:23:44,299
Nevertheless,
I intend we shall visit...
313
00:23:44,466 --> 00:23:47,761
the shrine of Sir Thomas Becket
and give our thanks.
314
00:23:48,553 --> 00:23:50,263
I have arranged for something else...
315
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:53,683
which I hope, with all my heart,
will make you very happy.
316
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:02,943
Your Majesty, the Lady Mary Tudor.
317
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:18,500
I ask Your Majesty for his blessing.
318
00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:20,669
My own daughter.
319
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:27,300
May I present you to Her Majesty,
Queen Jane?
320
00:24:29,636 --> 00:24:31,471
I remember
some of you were desirous...
321
00:24:31,638 --> 00:24:33,807
that I should put
this jewel to death.
322
00:24:42,983 --> 00:24:44,985
I've got you. You're safe.
323
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:49,030
Be of good cheer, Mary.
324
00:24:49,197 --> 00:24:53,160
For I swear,
nothing now will go against you.
325
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:03,044
Continue.
326
00:25:05,922 --> 00:25:08,175
Are you happy?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
327
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,219
His Majesty agreed to give you
lodgings at Hampton...
328
00:25:11,386 --> 00:25:13,722
and others at Greenwich Palace.
329
00:25:13,889 --> 00:25:16,975
I have seen them both.
They're beautiful.
330
00:25:17,142 --> 00:25:22,189
I am very grateful
to His Majesty and to you.
331
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:25,567
Everyone says
my daughter is innocent...
332
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:29,279
that she doesn't know
any unclean or foul speech.
333
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:31,865
Do you believe that?
334
00:25:32,032 --> 00:25:35,785
Do you believe that anybody
could be that innocent?
335
00:25:37,204 --> 00:25:39,331
Go and find out.
336
00:25:48,882 --> 00:25:50,884
Lady Mary.
337
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:55,513
I wanted to apologise
for my behaviour.
338
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,391
I hope you can find it in your heart
to forgive me.
339
00:25:58,558 --> 00:26:00,101
I will try, Sir Francis.
340
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:02,896
Jesus asks us to forgive everyone.
341
00:26:03,939 --> 00:26:06,358
Do you like games, Lady Mary?
- Yes.
342
00:26:06,524 --> 00:26:08,902
There is a new game at court
you might enjoy.
343
00:26:09,069 --> 00:26:11,238
What is it?
- It's called Cunnilingus.
344
00:26:11,404 --> 00:26:13,949
It's an old country practise.
345
00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:15,575
How do you play it?
346
00:26:15,742 --> 00:26:18,411
Well, you...
347
00:26:18,954 --> 00:26:21,081
You...
348
00:26:22,916 --> 00:26:26,670
I think you are making fun of me,
Sir Francis.
349
00:26:38,139 --> 00:26:40,100
No.
350
00:26:42,143 --> 00:26:47,983
You can't touch me,
for Caesar's, I am.
351
00:27:01,746 --> 00:27:07,544
Your Majesty, Sir Ralph Ellerker
and Mr. John Constable.
352
00:27:45,874 --> 00:27:47,667
Gentlemen, I ask you this...
353
00:27:47,834 --> 00:27:51,504
what king has kept his subjects
so long in wealth and peace?
354
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:56,259
So ministered justice
equally to high and low...
355
00:27:56,426 --> 00:27:59,387
and protected you
from all outward enemies?
356
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:03,850
I've read your submission.
357
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:06,728
Your first pretence
is to maintain the faith.
358
00:28:07,354 --> 00:28:10,106
Well, I'll tell you now,
that nothing is more contrary...
359
00:28:10,273 --> 00:28:13,068
to God's commandments
than rebellion.
360
00:28:13,234 --> 00:28:15,862
Rising like madmen
against your prince...
361
00:28:16,029 --> 00:28:18,698
leaving lands untilled
and corn unsown...
362
00:28:18,865 --> 00:28:21,409
is not the behaviour
of the proper commonwealth.
363
00:28:21,576 --> 00:28:23,370
Your Majesty, I feel compelled to...
364
00:28:23,536 --> 00:28:24,579
Hush.
365
00:28:24,746 --> 00:28:26,539
You are before the king's majesty.
366
00:28:27,207 --> 00:28:30,418
You make false claims about
our intentions towards the church.
367
00:28:30,585 --> 00:28:33,671
We have done nothing but what
the clergy in York and Canterbury...
368
00:28:33,838 --> 00:28:36,383
agreed was in accordance
with God's holy word.
369
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:40,053
God's holy word, gentlemen.
370
00:28:40,637 --> 00:28:44,057
So how can the simple people
say the contrary?
371
00:28:44,224 --> 00:28:47,936
What presumption is it of them
to claim knowledge of God's law...
372
00:28:48,103 --> 00:28:51,398
when they are ignorant
and less knowledgeable...
373
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:55,068
and should rather know their duty?
374
00:29:06,538 --> 00:29:08,331
You have seen before
in Lincolnshire...
375
00:29:08,498 --> 00:29:10,750
how temperate and forgiving
is our inclination.
376
00:29:11,418 --> 00:29:14,003
Though rebellion
is against God's will...
377
00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:18,133
I declare my intentions through
the pity and compassion of our heart...
378
00:29:18,299 --> 00:29:22,178
to pardon all of you
who have transgressed...
379
00:29:22,345 --> 00:29:25,473
on condition that you
now lay down your arms.
380
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,268
The Duke of Suffolk
will come north again to Yorkshire...
381
00:29:28,435 --> 00:29:30,603
to moderate with you
and make peace...
382
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:33,314
and see you disbanded.
383
00:29:34,649 --> 00:29:36,317
Good day, gentlemen.
384
00:29:58,006 --> 00:29:59,466
Your Grace?
385
00:30:01,801 --> 00:30:03,344
Your Grace should know...
386
00:30:03,511 --> 00:30:09,851
our army of pilgrims will not disperse
just for the promise of a pardon.
387
00:30:11,478 --> 00:30:13,313
Our pilgrimage is not over.
388
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,774
I do know. And I have told the king.
389
00:30:16,941 --> 00:30:20,111
He has given me permission
to negotiate with you further...
390
00:30:20,278 --> 00:30:21,321
in good faith.
391
00:30:22,155 --> 00:30:23,698
On the basis of our petition?
392
00:30:24,699 --> 00:30:25,742
Yes.
393
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:28,995
Does Your Grace have some token
of this good faith?
394
00:30:29,162 --> 00:30:30,747
You don't trust my word?
395
00:30:30,914 --> 00:30:33,666
Not for me,
for our captain, Mr. Aske.
396
00:30:33,833 --> 00:30:35,919
He's a lawyer.
397
00:30:37,212 --> 00:30:39,339
Here is a promise,
in His Majesty's own hand...
398
00:30:39,506 --> 00:30:42,175
to deal with you openly,
fairly and reasonably...
399
00:30:42,342 --> 00:30:44,886
as his loving subjects.
400
00:30:49,432 --> 00:30:53,353
We are grateful and bounden
to His Majesty.
401
00:30:55,188 --> 00:30:57,524
Good night, gentlemen.
402
00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:07,534
This is for the Lancashire Herald.
403
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,744
See that it is dispatched
immediately.
404
00:31:43,861 --> 00:31:46,072
Mr. Constable.
405
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:52,078
I beg you,
do not put your trust in Mr. Cromwell.
406
00:31:57,917 --> 00:32:01,879
Thank God and Your Majesty
for your great mercy today.
407
00:32:03,464 --> 00:32:06,134
I think you are
the kindest of rulers...
408
00:32:06,301 --> 00:32:09,470
and I wish with all my heart
the world knew it.
409
00:32:09,762 --> 00:32:11,931
The world chooses
what it wants to know, Jane.
410
00:32:12,849 --> 00:32:15,476
But you can change its mind.
411
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,895
I beg you to restore
and keep the abbeys.
412
00:32:18,062 --> 00:32:19,272
Jane.
413
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:24,110
Think what the world would think.
You listen to your people and heart.
414
00:32:24,277 --> 00:32:28,573
Jane, I told you once before...
415
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:31,868
don't meddle in my affairs.
416
00:32:34,621 --> 00:32:36,956
Do you remember what happened
to the late queen?
417
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:41,127
Yes.
418
00:32:42,045 --> 00:32:44,505
I love you more than her.
419
00:32:45,757 --> 00:32:48,259
More even than Catherine.
420
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:53,181
Don't spoil it.
421
00:33:12,784 --> 00:33:15,036
Cardinal Pole.
422
00:33:18,247 --> 00:33:20,083
My name
is Diego Hurtado de Mendoza...
423
00:33:20,249 --> 00:33:25,296
and these gentlemen are all advisers
to His Imperial Majesty King Charles V.
424
00:33:25,463 --> 00:33:28,675
Sirs, I carry this letter
of legatine authority...
425
00:33:28,841 --> 00:33:30,343
from His Holiness Pope Paul.
426
00:33:31,344 --> 00:33:32,345
Shall we be seated?
427
00:33:40,561 --> 00:33:43,272
We were aware, Eminence,
that you were on your way here...
428
00:33:43,439 --> 00:33:46,275
but, forgive me,
we remain a little unsure...
429
00:33:46,442 --> 00:33:49,070
as to the exact nature
of your mission.
430
00:33:49,237 --> 00:33:53,199
You are aware of the risings which
have taken place across England...
431
00:33:53,366 --> 00:33:57,370
against the king,
that heretic Cromwell and all his sect.
432
00:33:57,537 --> 00:33:59,580
We have had some information,
certainly.
433
00:33:59,747 --> 00:34:02,750
And, naturally, we are intrigued.
434
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:07,046
These popular risings...
435
00:34:07,213 --> 00:34:09,716
are the greatest chance
that we may ever have...
436
00:34:09,882 --> 00:34:12,885
to restore the true religion
to England.
437
00:34:13,052 --> 00:34:16,139
But the faithful people
of my country need support.
438
00:34:17,140 --> 00:34:22,645
Each of us, Seรฑor Mendoza,
in our own way...
439
00:34:22,812 --> 00:34:27,233
must encourage the risings
to continue and to grow in strength.
440
00:34:32,029 --> 00:34:35,283
Even if that means
the overthrow of the king himself...
441
00:34:35,950 --> 00:34:38,578
not just his wicked council?
442
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:39,787
Yes.
443
00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:45,668
We can imagine
such an outcome without fear...
444
00:34:45,835 --> 00:34:48,171
for there is another,
close to the throne...
445
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:51,549
with a legitimate claim
and a true faith.
446
00:34:52,049 --> 00:34:53,509
The Lady Mary.
447
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:57,472
If not her...
448
00:34:58,681 --> 00:35:02,185
there is another Catholic
with a legitimate claim.
449
00:35:02,351 --> 00:35:05,104
A scion of the Plantagenets
who ruled before the Tudors...
450
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:07,440
and would gladly rule after them.
451
00:35:09,108 --> 00:35:11,861
Of whom do you speak,
Your Eminence?
452
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,910
I speak of myself, Seรฑor Mendoza.
453
00:35:26,459 --> 00:35:28,127
Ralph. John.
454
00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:31,631
We have prayed for your safe return.
Thank God, thank God.
455
00:35:31,798 --> 00:35:36,302
The king in his mercy
has offered us a general pardon.
456
00:35:36,469 --> 00:35:39,514
He's sending the Duke of Suffolk
to negotiate and treat with us...
457
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,725
without precondition
and on the basis of our demands.
458
00:35:45,728 --> 00:35:46,979
Is it true?
- Aye.
459
00:35:47,146 --> 00:35:49,565
I trust the king's
good faith and mercy.
460
00:35:49,732 --> 00:35:51,692
And here's proof of it.
461
00:35:51,859 --> 00:35:54,487
We're to meet again here.
462
00:36:01,285 --> 00:36:03,329
You've not said anything, John.
463
00:36:03,496 --> 00:36:06,582
Is it because you do not agree
with Sir Ralph?
464
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:09,168
No, I cannot agree with him.
465
00:36:09,335 --> 00:36:12,255
How should I agree
when I think that devil, Cromwell...
466
00:36:12,421 --> 00:36:15,591
has such a hold over the king
that I account these promises...
467
00:36:15,758 --> 00:36:17,260
to be utterly worthless?
468
00:36:17,426 --> 00:36:19,053
You don't think
we should meet them?
469
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:21,722
No, I don't.
I think we should expose their lies.
470
00:36:21,889 --> 00:36:24,725
Call a general muster,
take over the entire North...
471
00:36:24,892 --> 00:36:28,688
and only then
condescend to a meeting.
472
00:36:29,397 --> 00:36:32,191
Why are you so sure
that their word is not to be trusted?
473
00:36:32,692 --> 00:36:33,860
Because of this.
474
00:36:34,610 --> 00:36:36,028
What's that?
475
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:40,908
It's a copy of a letter from Cromwell
to the Yorkshire gentry.
476
00:36:42,118 --> 00:36:44,036
I'll read some of it to you.
477
00:36:44,871 --> 00:36:47,248
'There is hope
they may disperse peacefully...
478
00:36:47,874 --> 00:36:49,500
but if these rebels continue...
479
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:53,004
with their illegal assemblies
and their defiance...
480
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:57,216
then their rebellion
will be crushed so forcibly...
481
00:36:57,383 --> 00:37:00,011
that their example
shall be fearful to all subjects...
482
00:37:00,177 --> 00:37:03,931
so long as the world does endure.'
483
00:37:08,019 --> 00:37:10,563
'So long as the world does endure, '
gentlemen.
484
00:37:13,316 --> 00:37:15,359
But the truth is,
they cannot crush us.
485
00:37:15,526 --> 00:37:18,237
And that's why the duke
is forced to negotiate.
486
00:37:18,404 --> 00:37:22,325
So this sure sign of their deviousness
does not impress you then?
487
00:37:26,954 --> 00:37:31,751
I say we do not stop our vigilance,
but prepare for our meeting...
488
00:37:31,918 --> 00:37:33,210
clarify our positions...
489
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:35,254
and strengthen our arguments...
490
00:37:35,421 --> 00:37:38,341
and have our church leaders
endorse them.
491
00:37:43,137 --> 00:37:47,099
Why should we fear, John,
when we are about God's work?
492
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:49,644
I know we are, but...
493
00:37:54,774 --> 00:37:59,111
I only hope that none of us,
nor our grandchildren...
494
00:37:59,278 --> 00:38:02,198
ever live to regret this moment.
495
00:38:02,949 --> 00:38:05,201
I wanted to wish you
success for your journey...
496
00:38:05,368 --> 00:38:07,286
and for the conference
with the rebels.
497
00:38:07,453 --> 00:38:09,914
I am grateful to Your Majesty.
498
00:38:10,414 --> 00:38:13,751
You know I desire more than
anything else a peaceful remedy.
499
00:38:13,918 --> 00:38:17,505
You have my permission to prolong
the truce for as long as necessary.
500
00:38:17,672 --> 00:38:20,675
You may also affirm my general
pardon to all the rebels.
501
00:38:20,841 --> 00:38:21,968
Except their leaders.
502
00:38:23,052 --> 00:38:28,474
I want them brought to you still,
with halters around their necks.
503
00:38:32,645 --> 00:38:36,524
Your Majesty knows the rebels,
no doubt unjustly...
504
00:38:36,691 --> 00:38:40,486
blame Master Cromwell
for many of their actions.
505
00:38:40,653 --> 00:38:44,824
Repeatedly, they ask
for his removal and punishment.
506
00:38:45,741 --> 00:38:47,034
What should I tell them?
507
00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:03,676
You know what this is?
508
00:39:04,969 --> 00:39:07,096
Fruit from the New World.
509
00:39:07,263 --> 00:39:08,723
New things come in...
510
00:39:09,515 --> 00:39:11,851
everything changes.
511
00:39:12,476 --> 00:39:15,104
I have a great appetite for novelty.
512
00:39:17,106 --> 00:39:18,441
Tell them what you like.
513
00:39:33,247 --> 00:39:35,875
Gentlemen,
I have read your new petition.
514
00:39:36,042 --> 00:39:37,168
Among other articles...
515
00:39:37,334 --> 00:39:41,422
you asked for the setting up of a
special convocation or parliament...
516
00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:44,717
to debate without fear
or His Majesty's displeasure...
517
00:39:44,884 --> 00:39:48,220
questions of heresy,
the royal supremacy...
518
00:39:48,387 --> 00:39:50,639
and maintenance of the faith.
519
00:39:50,806 --> 00:39:54,560
I can tell you now that the king has
graciously conceded to your request.
520
00:39:57,063 --> 00:39:59,023
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
00:40:04,987 --> 00:40:08,449
to debate and decide
on all these questions.
523
00:40:08,616 --> 00:40:09,742
Thank you.
524
00:40:09,909 --> 00:40:13,245
We've also asked for the heresies...
525
00:40:13,412 --> 00:40:17,958
of Luther, Wyclif and Tyndale
be annulled and destroyed.
526
00:40:18,751 --> 00:40:23,756
We've asked that the heretics,
bishops and temporal be punished.
527
00:40:23,923 --> 00:40:27,676
That Cromwell, Audley,
Sir Richard Rich...
528
00:40:27,843 --> 00:40:31,805
be punished as subverters
of the good laws of this realm...
529
00:40:31,972 --> 00:40:34,642
and maintainers of false sects.
530
00:40:34,809 --> 00:40:41,273
That is not for me to decide,
whatever my true feelings...
531
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,818
but such questions
are what the parliament...
532
00:40:43,984 --> 00:40:46,028
will be constituted to decide.
533
00:40:46,195 --> 00:40:48,823
Is it possible that
this parliament can also debate...
534
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:52,076
the question of papal obedience,
touching the cure of souls...
535
00:40:52,243 --> 00:40:54,411
and the legitimacy
of the Lady Mary?
536
00:40:54,578 --> 00:40:55,621
Yes, Mr. Aske.
537
00:40:55,788 --> 00:40:57,665
I can guarantee
all these great matters...
538
00:40:57,832 --> 00:41:00,835
can be put before the parliament
without fear or favour.
539
00:41:01,001 --> 00:41:04,630
And the king is still willing
to offer a general pardon?
540
00:41:04,797 --> 00:41:08,926
Yes. I say that with hesitation.
541
00:41:09,093 --> 00:41:12,555
The more His Majesty understands
the causes of this uprising...
542
00:41:12,721 --> 00:41:15,808
and the loyalty of the pilgrims
to his person and rule...
543
00:41:15,975 --> 00:41:18,644
the more he is persuaded
to show clemency.
544
00:41:20,563 --> 00:41:23,399
There is one other great matter.
545
00:41:23,566 --> 00:41:25,401
Your Grace knows
that we demand...
546
00:41:25,568 --> 00:41:29,864
that the suppressed abbeys
should stand or be restored.
547
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:32,533
This is our sticking point.
548
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:35,536
We were always determined
to fight and die...
549
00:41:35,703 --> 00:41:38,205
for the maintenance
of our religious houses.
550
00:41:38,372 --> 00:41:39,665
What I can say about that...
551
00:41:39,832 --> 00:41:42,710
is that all further destruction
of the abbeys will cease...
552
00:41:42,877 --> 00:41:44,920
until the parliament meets.
553
00:41:45,087 --> 00:41:48,883
It will then be up to Parliament
to decide if and when...
554
00:41:49,425 --> 00:41:51,677
the others will be restored.
555
00:41:52,761 --> 00:41:55,848
Go home and put aside your arms.
556
00:41:57,183 --> 00:42:01,645
By standing together
and by standing strong...
557
00:42:01,812 --> 00:42:05,733
I believe we have achieved
as much as we could have gained...
558
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:09,195
when we first took up
this great pilgrimage of ours.
559
00:42:09,361 --> 00:42:11,030
It is almost Christmas.
560
00:42:11,197 --> 00:42:16,702
Go home and celebrate the birth
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
561
00:42:16,869 --> 00:42:22,041
We thank God,
as we thank the king's majesty...
562
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:26,045
that all this has been achieved
without bloodshed.
563
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:30,049
Please listen to the king's herald.
564
00:42:36,013 --> 00:42:40,226
'His Gracious Majesty,
King Henry VIII...
565
00:42:40,392 --> 00:42:43,062
hereby pardons
by royal command...
566
00:42:43,229 --> 00:42:44,897
all those subjects...
567
00:42:45,064 --> 00:42:49,735
who have transgressed
and risen in unlawful rebellion.'
568
00:42:49,902 --> 00:42:51,987
I therefore ask every one of you...
569
00:42:52,154 --> 00:42:58,244
to disperse, go home
and put aside your arms...
570
00:42:58,410 --> 00:43:03,374
firm in the knowledge
that our faith is to be maintained...
571
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:05,084
and not destroyed.
572
00:43:20,516 --> 00:43:21,850
What is it, husband?
573
00:43:22,017 --> 00:43:24,728
I believe it's from the king.
574
00:43:33,946 --> 00:43:35,114
What does it say?
575
00:43:35,948 --> 00:43:36,991
Father?
576
00:43:39,994 --> 00:43:41,912
'My trusty and well-beloved Aske.
577
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:46,041
I am informed that notwithstanding
your offences committed against us...
578
00:43:46,208 --> 00:43:48,836
in the late rebellion
attempted in those parts...
579
00:43:49,003 --> 00:43:50,838
you are now at heart repentant.
580
00:43:51,005 --> 00:43:54,550
And since you are determined
to be a faithful subject...
581
00:43:54,717 --> 00:43:58,137
we have conceived a great desire
to speak with you.'
582
00:43:59,054 --> 00:44:01,974
Oh, Father!
- Hush, children. Listen to your father.
583
00:44:02,141 --> 00:44:06,812
'And to hear the whole circumstance
and beginning of that matter.'
584
00:44:07,271 --> 00:44:09,481
The king wants to speak with me.
You believe it?
585
00:44:10,566 --> 00:44:13,861
'I therefore order you, as our faithful
subject as we now repute you...
586
00:44:14,028 --> 00:44:16,155
to come to court for Christmastide.
587
00:44:16,322 --> 00:44:18,115
You are not to let anyone know...
588
00:44:18,282 --> 00:44:20,242
but will use
plainness and frankness...
589
00:44:20,409 --> 00:44:22,995
in all things
we shall demand of you...
590
00:44:23,162 --> 00:44:25,706
and we may have cause
to reward you even further.'
591
00:44:27,124 --> 00:44:29,043
There's a credence attached
saying that:
592
00:44:29,209 --> 00:44:31,712
'You shall safe come
and go from court...
593
00:44:31,879 --> 00:44:34,173
returning before
the 12th day of Christmas.'
594
00:44:34,340 --> 00:44:38,844
Just make sure that he means
to honour the promises...
595
00:44:39,011 --> 00:44:40,679
Lord Suffolk made on his behalf.
596
00:44:40,846 --> 00:44:43,265
Is it not obvious the king
has taken this to heart?
597
00:44:43,432 --> 00:44:45,017
This is written in his own hand.
598
00:44:45,184 --> 00:44:47,728
You're still too trusting.
I wouldn't go on my own.
599
00:44:48,354 --> 00:44:50,773
But there is a promise of safe return.
600
00:44:50,939 --> 00:44:52,691
Yeah, well, promises can be broken.
601
00:44:52,858 --> 00:44:55,069
Mr. Constable,
the promises of a king...
602
00:44:55,235 --> 00:44:57,821
are worth more
than the promises of ordinary folk.
603
00:44:57,988 --> 00:44:59,615
Here's what we shall do.
604
00:44:59,782 --> 00:45:02,034
I will arrange to lay post horses...
605
00:45:02,201 --> 00:45:04,870
all the way between here
and London...
606
00:45:05,037 --> 00:45:08,207
so that if, God forbid, Mr. Aske...
607
00:45:08,374 --> 00:45:11,752
you are imprisoned
or otherwise badly treated...
608
00:45:11,919 --> 00:45:13,921
I will hear about it straightaway...
609
00:45:14,088 --> 00:45:16,632
and raise the people again
for your deliverance.
610
00:45:18,467 --> 00:45:19,551
Thank you, Lord Darcy.
