Dissent rises in the kingdom of King Henry VIII of England. The
king's ongoing dispute with the papacy over a desire for annulment
is about to incite the Reformation, and his next step is to appoint
a new archbishop in order to obtain his long-awaited marriage to
Anne Boleyn. All crests that once bore the initials "H & K" are
promptly replaced with an intertwining "H & A," the first of
many significant changes to come. The birth of the new royal
couple's first child, Princess Elizabeth, is followed by the death
of Katherine of Aragon. New legislation decrees that any who dare
commit an act against the king - or the kingdom's newfound beliefs
- will face extreme consequences. With her husband growing
increasingly impatient, it becomes apparent that the only crime
Anne could commit against her king would be to deny him a male
heir. As pressures rise in the kingdom, those who once found
themselves in the king's good graces foresee a somber end to their
reign. This rich novelization of season two of The Tudors follows
the complicated relationship between Henry and Anne through to its
historically significant and dramatic conclusion.
