The incredible tale of the young, powerful, seductive King Henry VIII unfolds in THE TUDORS, a daring series focusing on the tumultuous early years of the ambitious King’s nearly 40 year reign of England. Bold and passionate about his country and his women, Henry’s obsession with ensuring his legacy led to beheadings of friend and foe, waging war and challenging the almighty Catholic Church of England, forever changing the soul of the British Empire. THE TUDORS dramatically portrays Henry’s scandalous and romantic relationships with Catherine of Aragon – his brother’s widow – and the infamous Anne Boleyn, the first of his wives that he beheaded. The series also delves into his political relationships, including those with philosopher Sir Thomas More and Cardinal Wolsey, head of the Catholic Church of England during its break with Rome.
