Season 1
Following the execution of Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII takes Jane Seymour as his third wife, convinced she is the woman destined to bear him a son. Henry faces mounting threats to his authority from a commoners' revolt inside England and a Pope in Rome, who is determined to stem protestantism's rise. As attacks on his new church foreshadow trouble for the King, the increasingly powerful Thomas Cromwell redoubles his efforts to crush Catholicism across England.
