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. An exhilarating story, told over 10 episodes, filled to the brim with passion, cruelty, and treachery!
Season 1 In Cold Blood S1, Ep1 1 Apr. 2007 King Henry VIII, the young and ambitious monarch of England, prepares for war with France but is dissuaded by the diplomatic manipulation of his powerful Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey, who proposes that the King sponsor a 'Treaty of Universal Peace.'

Simply Henry S1, Ep2 8 Apr. 2007 Henry and his court look to sign the treaty with France, though tempers of both kings flare up at the summit.

His Majesty, the King S1, Ep4 22 Apr. 2007 As a reward for his denunciation of Martin Luther, the Pope christens Henry 'Defender of the Faith,' but a brush with death causes the king to seek a solution to his lack of an heir. Princess Margaret marries the decrepit King of Portugal reluctantly, but the union is short-lived; Henry's desire for Anne Boleyn intensifies. Arise, My Lord S1, Ep5 29 Apr. 2007 Henry is displeased to learn that the Emperor Charles V, Queen Katherine's nephew, has released King Francis of France from prison and is forced to look for a foreign ally elsewhere.

True Love S1, Ep6 6 May 2007 Henry is still besotted with Anne Boleyn, queen Catherine asks a diplomat to appeal to her Habsburg relatives. Now the emperor has captured the pope in Italy, cardinal Woolsey promises the king to get a mandate from the cardinals to handle Henry's divorce demand and personally goes to Paris in triumph, to sign a treaty with the French king Francis I.

The duke ... Truth and Justice S1, Ep8 20 May 2007 Cardinal Campeggio's long awaited papal legation has arrived at court to decide with colleague-cardinal Thomas Wolsey on the royal request for divorce, claiming Catherine's first marriage to Henry's late elder brother nullified his. When Campeggio learns the king won't yield, he suggests an alternative: the queen could retire to a monastery, but only voluntarily, which she refuses, swearing in confessional she came as a virgin to Henry.

Look to God First S1, Ep9 3 Jun. 2007 The legatine court's divorce trial continues in the Queen's absence, hearing testimony suggesting prince Arthur carnally consummated his marriage to Catherine: embarrassing for the court, amusing for the populace. Catherine's council, bishop Fisher, dares claim even heaven can't dissolve the royal marriage, comparing to Herod Antipas' adultery shamed by Saint John the Baptist who was executed for that truth.
