This BBC costume performance features England's wonderful Renaissance house, beginning in season 1 with the deal of king Henry VIII's rule when cardinal Wolsey ruled the system of the country government from behind his throne, ruled cruelly and almost totally but highly effectively while Henry simply follows his directions and that of Thomas Morus in considerate and religious reasons but soon gets a craving for a male legatee which his faithful Habsburg queen Catharine of Aragon can't afford, away comes in the image of femme fatale Anne Boleyn who plays more complicated to understand than any other lover; when the two lovers get a wish to get married, Henry certainly needs a divorce, but Wolsey's warranties to help him turn into an awful Calvary, making this the diplomatic game much more tangled, trying to set France against the Habsburg dynasty's Holy Roman Empire addition Spain and its foreign empire. Against this situation rotate the personal lives and political schemes of a few members of the royal court and chancery, such as Henry's bosom friend and his sister Margareth's faithful love Charles Brandon, the Habsburg legates, covetous and witty intriguers, their accidental victims and composer Thomas Tallis.
