The Six Wives of Henry VIII - Episode Guide

Catherine of Aragon seemed to be the perfect queen. She had love for her husband and was loyal to her people and to her faith, but she was unable to bear Henry a surviving son.

Wanting everything and unwilling to be subservient, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of the omnipotent king moves headlong towards a terrible fate.

The shy and devout Jane Seymour is the antithesis of Anne Boleyn. She comforts and cherishes her king with loyalty and love and even bears him a child. But tragedy awaits.

Henry's marriage to the rawboned Anne of Cleves is the story of an uneasy alliance between England and Germany, a political convenience.

Henry is enchanted by the young and beautiful Catherine Howard; who is in love with the glamour of being the Queen of England.

Having been forced to marry the ageing king, the unpretentious Queen proves to be the only wife whose courageous honesty and shining intellect endear rather than anger King Henry.
