Season 4 Episode Guide

Episode 1 - Episode I

Whitehall Palace, London, 1540. Thirty years into the reign and King Henry's vigor remains undiminished as he marries his fifth Queen, Katherine Howard. She's different from earlier wives in more ways than just age, arousing certain members of Henry's Court.
Episode 2 - Episode II

Thomas Culpepper, principal groom to Henry VIII, continues to make eyes at the King's sexy young bride, Katherine Howard. He is not alone; the teen Queen inspires many admirers in Henry's court, not least the King himself who spoils his new wife with an endless supply of extravagant gifts.
Episode 3 - Episode III

Henry VIII is in great spirits. Buoyed by the happiness that a young wife brings an aging man, he is noticeably more tolerant and forgiving than the Henry of old. He pardons a criminal, visits his estranged young daughter Princess Elizabeth and plans a visit to the North of England - his first visit to the territory that hatched the 'Pilgrimage of Grace' rebellion. Charles Brandon is ordered to make preparations.
Episode 4 - Episode IV

Pontefract Castle, Yorkshire was the only royal property captured by the rebels during the Catholic uprising known as the 'Pilgrimage of Grace'. In a symbolic gesture, it now welcomes Henry and his large entourage. Rejuvenated by the affection he has experienced in his tour of the north of England, Henry feels a stirring sexual energy towards his Queen. Charles Brandon, on the other hand, senses death as he remembers the hangings and punishment he oversaw as the King's representative during the Northern rebellion.
Episode 5 - Episode V

The investigation into Queen Katherine's past moves with speed: Francis Dereham is arrested and interrogated. Dereham confesses that he and Katherine Howard had planned to get married and that he knew her carnally before she became Queen. Uncharacteristically, Henry weeps when told of these discoveries. But his response is unsentimental and swift: Katherine Howard is removed from Court and her title as Queen withdrawn.
Episode 6 - Episode VI

In a surprise decision, the King orders a new Act of Parliament, which restores the succession rights of his two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Mary. Although they are next in line after their youngest brother Edward, this powerful gesture of his love will have historical consequences.
Episode 7 - Episode VII

Henry marries Catherine Parr, his sixth and final wife. The wedding is notable for the presence of Henry's daughters, Princesses Mary and Elizabeth. Catherine is determined to be a loving stepmother to the King's children, who are fond of her in return.
Episode 8 - Episode VIII

The year is 1544. Under the supervision of Henry VIII, the Earl of Surrey and his men attempt to tunnel their way into the French castle at Boulogne. Clearly pleased to be once again in the field of battle, the King dines and entertains in style at his tent some distance from the action. But progress is slow and conditions are appalling for his soldiers. Over two thousand men die of disease and starvation and another three thousand fall ill as 'the flux' sweeps the King's camp. When hope of success seems all but lost, Treviso, the King's engineer, creates a spectacular explosion in the tunnel that finally breaches the castle. The French surrender to a gloating Henry who returns to England in triumph and commands festivities and celebrations throughout the land.
Episode 9 - Episode IX

King Henry VIII is aging rapidly. The arrogant Earl of Surrey, not known for his sense of judgment, loses 600 men in an unprovoked battle in France, endangering Henry's successes in Boulogne. Surrey's rank is withdrawn and the King refuses to see him. Surrey's wild antics and attitude have won him no friends at court and he is arrested on charges of treason.
Episode 10 - Episode X

Henry is forced to surrender Boulogne, his great prize, as part of a peace treaty with France. As Henry's health begins to fade factions are forming at Court as thoughts turn towards a successor. Bishop Gardiner is determined to restore a Catholic to the throne in the person of Princess Mary. Under orders of Gardiner, an arrest warrant for Queen Catherine is issued on grounds of heresy. Charles Brandon dies and Henry is greatly shaken. Realizing his own death is now imminent, Henry retreats more and more into himself.
