[applause]
182
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,360
What was so funny?
183
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
184
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,000
To mock a king is treason.
185
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,080
And to duel when drunk is foolish.
186
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:51,760
Who are you?
187
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,480
I'm Anne Boleyn.
188
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:56,680
Anne Boleyn.
189
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:59,560
[gentle piano music plays]
190
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,480
Did I say you could go?
191
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,120
[clears throat] We should go.
192
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,600
I kept playing that moment
over and over again in my head.
193
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,560
The way he looked at me.
194
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,600
Like he wanted
to kiss or kill me. [chuckles]
195
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,280
I didn't see Henry again
for another few years
196
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,040
until I was back in England.
197
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,800
[court announcer] King Henry VIII
198
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,400
and Queen Katherine of Aragon.
199
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,800
[Anne] But my sister being my sister,
200
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,560
she got together with Henry first.
201
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,680
Mary does love a dalliance with a king,
a married king.
202
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,160
My dad had big plans
to marry me off to my cousin.
203
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,440
So, Cousin James, now you're back,
you'll be wanting to set up home.
204
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
War was brutal.
205
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,720
It's good to be back.
206
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,040
I need to get myself settled.
207
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,080
Sooner rather than later, I imagine.
208
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,120
He'll be away on tour
most of the time, sis.
209
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,360
You'll grow to love him.
210
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,120
My little brother.
211
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,720
My partner in crime
and fellow freethinker, George.
212
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,840
Of course, since the injury,
I can't do much fighting.
213
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
I'm stuck at home all the time. [chortles]
214
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Full pension though.
215
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,680
The King's finally decided
216
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,160
to crack down
on those religious nutjobs though, eh?
217
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Four lads caught
reading the Bible in English.
218
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,560
Latin too hard for them, is it?
Burn them all, I say.
219
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,360
Oh, so people
who aren't rich enough to learn Latin
220
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,200
deserve to be burned, do they?
221
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Well, some people believe
everybody has the right to read the Bible.
222
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,480
- Why would it not be written in English?
- What Anne means...
223
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,960
Boleyn, your daughter's a heretic.
224
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:24,160
You have to understand
that at this time, in London,
225
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
it's illegal to have a Bible in English.
226
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,520
[Prof. Lipscomb] This is heresy.
227
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,960
I mean, you can't just reinvent religion.
God told us to read the Bible in Latin.
228
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320
To say otherwise is total insanity.
229
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,560
Henry Percy.
230
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,600
Lust at first sight.

["Highway To Nowhere (Instrumental)
by Paul J. Borg plays]
232
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,160
[Prof. Borman] Anne shows no enthusiasm
for her father's choice, James Butler,
233
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,920
because she's already fallen in love
with a man called Henry Percy.
234
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,280
Henry Percy is very close in age to Anne,
235
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,400
but he's from one
of the highest-ranking families
236
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,360
in the whole of England.
237
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
He's way above Anne in status.
238
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
[Anne] Oh! [chuckles]
239
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Aren't you glad
I rescued you from that guy?
240
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Well, I don't need rescuing from anyone,
Mr. Percy,
241
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,760
but if you want to call yourself
my knight in shining armor, then you can.
242
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,080
It would be my honor.
243
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,720

[suspenseful music plays]

...in the street,
and I thought I recognized him.
246
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,360
Cardinal Wolsey,
247
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,320
King Henry's work wife
and court super snitcher.
248
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,680
[Prof. Borman] Cardinal Wolsey is
King Henry's right-hand man and confidant,
249
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,200
and he is a supreme political operator,
250
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280
incredibly ruthless.
251
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,760
Anne's pursuit of Percy
is highly problematic.
252
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,920
His marriage plans
have already been laid out by his family
253
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,640
and by Cardinal Wolsey.
254
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880
Wolsey has big plans for Henry Percy.
255
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,280
He is going to propose a fantastic match,
256
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,840
and it's going to benefit
different families,
257
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640
and it's going to be
a feather in the cap for Wolsey as well.
258
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,840
The last thing he wants is
someone like Anne Boleyn walking in
259
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,200
and muddying the waters.
260
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,800
So Wolsey makes it his business
to get Anne out of the picture.
261
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Percy is sent away from court,
262
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,640
much against Anne's wishes,
263
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840
and from that moment on,
264
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960
she sees Wolsey as enemy number one.
265
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,040
I don't trust him one bit.

- What were you thinking?
- No one has any respect for my privacy.
270

Don't be naive, Anne.
271
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,880
Your love life was public
from the moment you were born.
272
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,320
Until I can work out what to do with you,
you remain here.
273

So what, I'm grounded?
274
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,520
What's more important
than being with the one that you love?
275
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,800
Duty.
276
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Anne falls in love just like we do today,
277
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,560
but the difference is
she doesn't get to choose her husband.
278
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,400
[Dr. Mackay] It's Thomas Boleyn's fault
279
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,520
that he has actually raised
such a headstrong and willful daughter
280
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,320
and certainly someone
who wants to negotiate her own destiny.
281
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,680
That is entirely at his door.
282
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,320
You can't possibly have read all these.
283
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Well, it's what you read in life
that determines who you are.
284
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Mm, well, like I've always said,

you don't learn from books.

[Prof. Borman] Mary had been
having an affair with Henry

for some time by this point,
288
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,000
and she's pregnant.
289
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Have you told Henry?
290
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,080
He doesn't want to know,
291
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,120
even though he's desperate
for a male heir.
292
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,120
A legitimate one, obviously.
293
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
The truth is,
I don't know if it's actually his.
294
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Oh, Mary!
295
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,040
[Prof. Borman] Of course,
if that boy was Henry's,
296
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,680
it would be a bastard, illegitimate,
297
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,640
and so unable to inherit the throne.
298
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,600
Don't feel sorry for me, Anne.
299
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,880
There's nothing I want more right now
than to be a good mother.
300
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,400
It still feels really wrong
that he's just cut you off like this.
301
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,600
It's an age-old problem.
302
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,280
Men have affairs and can walk away,
303
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240
whereas women live with the consequences.
304
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,920
But it doesn't make it right.

00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,760

How dare you.
321
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,200
That kind of book
shouldn't even be in this house.

She's free to choose,
323
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,960
and if I see anything like that again,
you'll be sent packing.
324
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,320
[Prof. Borman] The sorts of books
that Anne is reading
325
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,280
are deeply controversial.
326
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,440
They're going against
the established order,
327
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,720
the established religion.
328
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,720
Anne is very influenced by what
the new generation are starting to think,
329
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,800
that everyone should understand the Bible,
330
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,400
that the body of Christ is not in a wafer,
331
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,720
that everyone can speak to God
on their own terms.
332
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,920
But she can't say any of this out loud.
333
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,040
And even worse, by sharing these ideas,
334
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,960
she's increasing the risk
335
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,200
that someone will betray her
to the authorities.
