Lucy Worsley discovers how the history of the Reformation has been manipulated and mythologised by generations of politicians and writers.
Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon created a religious and political schism between England and Europe that can be still be felt in Britain today.

It also laid the foundations for our modern constitution and economic power as an Empire.
