Focusing on the early years of King Henry VIII's reign, The Tudors
looks at the colourful personal life and tremendously influential
political life of the monarch. King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers)
was obsessed with having a male heir, which led to him marrying six
times. Rome's decision not to grant him a divorce led to him taking on
the power of the Catholic Church, changing Christianity forever in
England. In the second series of The Tudors, Henry is free to marry
Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer). But there is turmoil ahead.
