Henry VIII

Wedded bliss didn't come easily to England's most infamous serial husband, Henry VIII. Desperate for a male heir, Henry (Ray Winstone) married then tossed aside a succession of wives that included Katherine of Aragon (Assumpta Serna), Anne Boleyn (Helena Bonham-Carter), Jane Seymour (Emilia Fox), Anne of Cleves (Pia Girard), Katherine Howard (Emily Blunt) and finally Katherine Parr (Clare Holman). Sexual intrigue and twisted rivalry were the hallmarks of Henry's reign. First aired on British television.
