Inglaterra, siglo XVI. Narra la historia de dos hermanas, Ana y María Bolena (Portman & Johansson). El padre y el tío de ambas, movidos por la ambición de mejorar el nivel social y el poder de la familia, convencen a las jóvenes para que conquisten el amor de Enrique VIII, Rey de Inglaterra. Ana y María abandonan su vida en el campo para trasladarse al peligroso y apasionante mundo de la corte. Pero, pronto surge entre ellas una rivalidad sin cuartel para obtener el amor del Rey. Al principio, el Rey escoge como amante a María y tiene con ella un bastardo. Pero Ana, que es muy inteligente y astuta, consigue eclipsar a su hermana e, incluso, que el rey repudie a Catalina de Aragón, su legítima esposa.

Para divorciarse de su esposa Catalina de Aragón (hija de los Reyes Católicos y tía del emperador Carlos V) y contraer matrimonio con Ana Bolena, Enrique VIII (1509-1547) trata de obtener el apoyo de la aristocracia y del clero. Sir Thomas Moro, gran humanista ("Utopía", 1516), ferviente católico y hombre de confianza del monarca, se encuentra en una encrucijada: ¿debe actuar de acuerdo con su conciencia, arriesgándose a ser tachado de traidor y ejecutado, o debe ceder ante un rey que no tiene ningún reparo en adaptar la ley a sus necesidades?

Enrique VIII de Inglaterra (1509-1547), casado con Catalina de Aragón, hija de los Reyes Católicos, se encapricha de Ana Bolena, una dama de la Corte, y decide casarse con ella. Pero, como el Papa no accede a concederle el divorcio, rompe con la Iglesia de Roma y crea la Iglesia Anglicana (Acta de Supremacía de 1534), convirtiéndose así en la suprema autoridad eclesiástica de Inglaterra. Años después, el rey acusa a Ana de alta traición y ordena que sea ejecutada.

En mayo de 1536, justo después de la ejecución de su segunda esposa, Ana Bolena, Enrique VIII se casa con Jane Seymour, que muere dieciocho meses después. A continuación desposa a la princesa alemana Anne de Cleves, pero el matrimonio acaba en divorcio. Su quinta esposa, la bella y ambiciosa Katherine Howard, se enamora del cortesano Enrique Thomas Culpeper, pero el idilio es descubierto y ambos son ejecutados.

The Tudors is a history-based drama series following the young, vibrant King Henry VIII, a competitive and lustful monarch who navigates the intrigues of the English court and the human heart with equal vigor and justifiable suspicion.

England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the King dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The Pope and most of Europe oppose him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer, and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

Henry VIII is the most infamous monarch in English history. Famously he married six times over his 36 year reign. The six queens were formidable individuals. Some were ambitious, some brave, some ruthless - and between them they shaped the man who began as a Renaissance prince, became a monster and ended a regretful old man. In turn they shaped England itself.

Historian Dr Suzannah Lipscomb unfolds the extraordinary story of the tumultuous love affair between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, and asks: was it really love that brought them together – and was it love that tore them apart? Suzannah's journey will take her from Anne's childhood home at Hever Castle in Kent to the French palace where, some say, she learned the art of love. She will also visit Hampton Court, where Henry built the Great Hall for his new queen, and the Tower of London, where he had her beheaded.
