BBC One - Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, Episode 2

Henry marries Anne Boleyn, but rumours start to spread that she has been unfaithful.

Documentary drama series exploring the lives of Henry VIII's wives. Henry leaves Katherine to marry Anne Boleyn, but rumours start to spread that she has been unfaithful.

This episode follows the end of Henry's marriage to Katherine of Aragon, made possible by Henry's rejection of Catholicism and the pope, with him setting himself up as head of the Church of England. He marries his second wife, Anne Boleyn, and she gives birth to a baby girl, Elizabeth.

After rumours spread that Anne has been unfaithful to the king, she is arrested and executed, leaving Henry free to marry Jane Seymour. Jane gives birth to a son, Edward, but Henry's joy is overshadowed by grief as Jane dies 12 days later.
