Synopsis

Pope Clement's special envoy arrives in London to oversee the court deciding upon the legitimacy of the King's marriage to Queen Katherine. The findings of this trial will have far reaching consequences: the future of the King's relationship with Anne Boleyn, Cardinal Wolsey's career and influence, and England's relationship with Rome.

Best Quotes

Cardinal Campeggio (to Wolsey)-"God has given me gout. Its a great trial....if your grace had some water, perhaps laced with a bit of wine?"

Anne Boleyn (to Henry) -"I trust you, I love you"

Cardinal Wolsey (to Katherine) -"I beg that you yield to the King's will"

Henry VIII (to Katherine)-"All the world now agrees that our marriage was unjust"

Katherine of Aragon -"God never called me to a nunnery, I am the King's true and legitimate wife"

Anne's new motto-"That's how its going to be. Let them Grumble"

Thomas More -"Angering the prince, means death"

Katherine of Aragon-"Sir I beseech you. For all the love that has been between us. Let me have justice & right. Give me some pity & compassion for I am a poor woman & a stranger born out of your dominion. I have no friend here & little counsel. I plea to you as head of justice in this realm. I call God and all the world to witness that I have been to you a true humble and obedient wife ever compliant to your will & pleasure. I have loved all those whom you have loved for your sake whether or not I had cause. Whether they be friends or enemies. By me you have had many children. Although it has pleased God to call them from this world. But when you had me at first , I take God as my judge , I was a true maid without touch of men. And whether or not it be true, I put it to your conscience."

Trivia

The speech that Katherine gave Henry really did happen in the way it did here. Effectively shaming him in public and swaying public feeling in her favour forever more.

OBSERVATIONS

Its true that Cardinal Campeggio had a son - but unlike Cardinal Wolesey his son was not illegitimate. Campeggio took holy orders after the death of his wife.

Its true - Wolesey did indeed beg Katherine on his knees to no avail

The Brandons drink wine out of earthenware cups

When Bishop Warren and Archbishop Tunstall enter to speak with Katherine of Aragon, a black Spanish type fan can be seen behind her.

Archbishop Tunstall is very nervous when confronting Katherine; his hands shake, he almost stammers and he plays with his ring.
