Henry & Anne: The Lovers Who Changed History season 1 episode 2

It was an extraordinary turnaround. To win Anne as his bride, Henry had pursued her for seven long years and gambled both his own and his nation's future. Yet 1,000 days after he married her, he had her executed. What had happened? Did the fault lie with Henry or Anne? Or was their love simply doomed from the start? To find out, Suzannah visits all the key locations where their drama was played out, including Thornbury Castle, where the couple spent ten happy days in 1535. Now a hotel, the castle is the only place in England where guests can pay to sleep in the same room that Henry and Anne once occupied. Drawing on contemporary descriptions and portraits of Henry, Suzannah digs deep into the character of the Tudor king, building a picture not just of what he was like, but how he wanted to be seen. She also charts the key influences on Henry's life and character at the time – the death of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, the failure of Anne to deliver a male heir and the huge political pressure on him at home and from Europe after his break with Rome. Often overlooked but perhaps most important of all was the severe head injury he sustained in a jousting accident, an injury which may explain how a charming and charismatic young man became a cruel tyrant. Suzannah's quest to understand Anne leads her back to the 20th century and recent royal history. She meets Princess Diana's former private secretary, Patrick Jephson, who imparts some interesting and revealing comparisons between queen and princess, despite the gap of almost five centuries. Anne's tragic story ended with a trial for treason, infidelity and incest. Suzannah visits the Tower of London, where Anne was executed and is buried, and returns to Hever Castle, the family home where she spent her childhood. Here Suzannah sees for the first time a prayer book, which Anne reputedly had with her in the Tower and in which she wrote what can be read as her own heart-rending epitaph.
